I would like to know the same thing. I need to dissable it so it will never enter cold start. This is a temporary fix until i get my idle problems sorted. Anyone know where it is and how to do this?
Me too. Apparently there are 2 valves controlling idle. AAC valve which I have found how to clean and IAC valve (which I think is the cold start idle control). I would like to know where it is also so I can clean it. Someone must be able to help us!!!!!!pls

It's located on the underside of the inlet plenum, near Cyl#4 runner.

If you disable it, you will never cure your idle problems. You will have a permanent HUGE air leak.

It can't be cleaned. It is a bi-metal strip that is heated by current to close off a "gate" valve, thus preventing air by-passing the throttle plate.

Really? Basically i dont have the idle control valve connected at the moment (due to engine transplant) so to keep the car from stalling the warm idle is set to 1500. However In coldstart mode this idle goes up to 2200-2500 which is a pain in the arse. I was thinking since cold start idle should be about 1500 anyway i could somehow disable the cold start mode as essentially my idle screw has it in cold start all the time. Does that make any sense?

Open to suggestions,

Cheers,

Will

      Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.

      Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5

      Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.

      You would need to paint your hardtop again though

      I have an old R32 in the shed that hasnt moved much in the last few years and probably should see the light of day. At one point I had a Nismo 1.5 centre put in the rear diff. It is a clunky nightmare POS of a thing on a good day. To make it less painful the initial torque setting has been put on the minimum (7.0kgf-m, mid is 9.5, high is 14) and the oil changed out to something more slippery. But it is still awful and ruins the vibe of the thing. So my questions are: Given I have the original parts sitting in a box somewhere would it be better to rebuild the thing again, reverting to more purity? Is there a standard kit or do you just go and replace the friction plates etc and shim it the way you like it. How much initial torque does the standard R32 rear diff have? Or does the Nismo disc kit offer a better solution - the caveat being the initial torque for both options appears to be higher than the clunky 1.5 way. There appear to be two Nismo disc kits: 3843S-RS520 for 8kgf-m. 3843S-RS521 for 12kgf-m. Or is the easiest solution to reshim the Nismo diff to make it looser?
