I have a minor problem with my r33 gtst. Basically when I push the cutch in the revs will drop as normal but then hover around 1200rpm for a few seconds before dropping to the idle rpm. Its not really causing any dramas but I am unsure if this is normal or wat. Do these engines somes kind idle speed control solenoid? Anyone else had any similar problems or any suggestions as to what could be at fault here. I have recently cleaned the AAC valve and the throttle body and reset the computer and did not make any difference.

Cheers in advance

Depending on your model R33 (pretty sure its series dependent) there is an idle adjustment knob on the back of the ECU. There will be an idle adjustment screw on the AAC (turn left to increase rpm, right to decrease) aswell.

Have a look at the AAC cleaning tutorial for info on how to set the two correctly.

Locating the cause and fixing it i have no idea about :)

I know on RB26, there are a few little adjustment screws on the butterfly's(Uh!!). I ripped mine out, but I an using aftermarket ECU.

that way all the "Flaps are shut as far as, then I just used the master one on the throttle cable mount to regulate it so the ECU could get a grip with it all again.

It worked..!

    • Thanks for your insight, it being basically useless will impact my decision for sure. I thought it may help the engine breath better I guess. But then again, I have also been told that tuning an RB20DE is also not worth it. Exactly, we follow EU Regulations. There is a bit more leeway on older vehicles. My Porsche 924 came without a cat from factory and managed to pass, they still mentioned that I have quite high emissions on it though.
    • My apologies, I stand corrected. Thanks for registering to mention this! And thank you for actually reaching out to the council to clarify. This is the sensible thing to do and the opposite of what I was alluding you were doing. I may have seen too much outrage and hate being fueled on the internet and it has made me a somewhat cynical old man. Sometimes it is easy to forget that there are real people behind websites and accounts. In my defence, CarExpert and CarExplore do read quite similarly at a glance. I shall try and do better in the future. (Please stick around to get the latest scoops on dealing with old Nissan shitboxes )
    • Don't bother. The poor little RB20 doesn't make enough gas flow to challenge the flow capabilities of even the littlest cat, and you won't make any extra power, and all you'll do it soot up your rear bumper. Plus....is Malta not runing under Euro regs?
    • Hey Daniel, sorry to hear that and thanks for posting up for us at a really hard time I only knew SmoothLine through the forums, we never met as we are based in different states, but when he was most active on here he was quite a while back so not many of the current crowd might remember him. I am pretty sure he was active in the Queensland SQU club but that is defunct now too (times are changing and we are all getting older). Farewell SmoothLine!    
    • Turns out depending on whether the car was equipped with TCS or not there are different signals coming to the dash, meaning there are different speedo clusters.  Wired in a speedo calibrator box from aliexpress and now works fine.
