just went past what looked like an acident at the Britania round about... (the big one at the bottom of kensington road) atleast 2 cop cars with lights going and a fire truck... Their was a blacj r33 and a crv their... codulnt see what had happened or who had damage ect.. but hope it was no one from here and if it was he or she is ok :sick:

AAC Valve, Pete :sick:

I've cleaned many of them on 25's include mine and Steve's and that fixed our idle problems. Never done one on a 26 (as they are a prick to get to) but I'm willing to give it a go if you want?

heck yeah Luke, you name the place & time..........I didn't think they could be cleaned

vaccum leak on the plenum somewhere?

I hope not Ryan, haven't had a chance to give it a spray to check for leaks......either way, I reckon the plenum would have to come off to check the valve.

Where can I get some metal intake & throttle body gaskets cheap?

Would have to be a Sunday as I work Saturday's... probably won't be this weekend or next as I'm helping the missus and her sister move to Kersbrook but after that should be fine :sick: Keep in touch via PM or SMS (0431596795) and I'm sure we can sort out something!

had my first when i was 17 TOUGHEN UP :blink:

You'd need to get a sparco baby seat :ermm:

+1. mind you i am only 20.

Good Luck Amanda, i will start thinking and looking in the shed for any thing i can give/sell you cheaply

haha i was wondering what you would say

yeap guess so lol

i'm not exactly ready for it believe me but yeah, it could be fun and stuff, i'll find out eventually.

i have my 1st appointment at the Lyell McEwin Hospital on Friday, they put me in early coz of the situation

LOL my mum already bought a freakin jumpsuit thingo for it, i wasn't to happy about it but not much i could

do to stop her. my brother said he's gonna buy it Ford shoes or slippers

thankies Tangles :D

glad you want to keep it theres already enough innocent blood split in this country, single parents pension ftw (not that i condone bludging but i know your circumstances and you need to survive somehow)

nope he's being an ass and trying to convince me to kill it

when he 1st found out he was alright but then he said he wants nothing to do with it or me

but that's alright i don't really care. his parents are still gonna be involved though which

i'm ok with coz i don't see why they should miss out just coz he is

yeah does look the goods cant quiet tell if it has brembos >>GTR Link<<

Check out this mint 32 GTR

EDIT* ^^^ stupid link

may have been garaged somewhere all its life or ex show car in nissan museum

Wow only 6000k's! That's only 420 odd kilometers a year! Looks very nice though!
does anyone know what that idle valve is officially called that sits under the plenum and where to get one other than genuine Nissan?

I think mine might be stuff because it idles too high

Grab some carby clean. They almost always gum up and cause idling issues.

If its idling too high there's another valve that may be the cause. IAC valve. The spring can dislodge and cause a constant 1000-1500rpm high idle.

AAC usually results in idle hunt/stall.

IAC is always too high.

Yeah mine idles way too high. I'm guessing the AAC valve is the accessible the one near the fuel filter which can be cleaned whereas the IAC is probably the "cold air by-pass solenoid" which is against the sandwich plate under the centre throttle body which requires a plenum removal and which can't be cleaned (approx $220 new).

Also Cubes, have you got the full specs on your Tighe cams ie. IN & EX opening & closing times etc......I might look into them myself.

    • Yeah the ACL and similar formable heat shielding materials are really nice. But most people do not have the patience or talent to do a good job like that. Almost anything is better than nothing though. Even if you didn't form it closely like that and just had a slab of it slipped in between the manifold and somewhere/thing you wanted to protect, you would gain benefit. There has to be a market opportunity for people like Artec to make formed heatshields to suit their cast manifolds. The fact that they are cast means that they are consistently the exact same dimensions and they could add bosses to the castings like you see on stockers to allow heat shields to be firmly attached yet floating away from the manifold itself.
    • I've seen some stuff like this as well, not sure if it's a good idea or anything but it does have more standoff from the piping than the conventional fiberglass wrap:  
    • Jap premium will be 100 RON. You should use 98.
    • The exhaust gases are at their highest temperature as they leave the exhaust port and enter the manifold. They cool as they flow through the manifold because they transfer heat to the manifold and the manifold loses heat to the surrounding environment. Thus, inevitably, the exhaust gases are cooler as they enter the turbo compared to when they entered the exhaust manifold. So, yes, the exhaust manifold can easily get as hot as the turbine housing. Having said that, you will generally see the highest temperatures where the exhaust gases have to slow down or they are concentrated into one area - which is usually the collector on the manifold and in the turbine housing, because the gases slam into the metal at those places, increasing the convective heat transfer coefficient and transferring even more heat to the metal than they might just flowing past elsewhere. Exhaust manifold heat shields are a good idea - certainly for the stock manifold they are there from the factory. People seldom have anything like that on a tubular manifold because they are hard to achieve. Some might wrap a tube manifold with fibreglass tape - but this has a reputation of leading to cracked welds. The best case is generally to put ceramic coating onto the manifold to prevent it getting as hot (internal coating) and radiating/convecting heat into the bay (external coating). All the real heat from a turbo comes from the exhaust side. The gases entering are at ~800-900°C and the steel/iron gets nearly that hot. The compressor side is only going to heat the charge air up to <<200°C (typically not much more than 100°C). So that's nothing, by comparison. The compressor is not a significant source of engine bay heat.
    • Late to the party, specifically joined this forum as I just bought one of these and this thread has been a gold mine of info. If the OP is still around, mind if I ask what gas you been putting in yours? Mine has a Japanese sticker in the cap saying premium but it seems to get way worse mileage on premium (95) than 91. I always thought it was meant to be the other way round🤷 I do think Nissans claimed "6l/100km" is a bit fantastical 😂
