Thanks mate ill give it a go, worst case scenario i will have to take it to Nissan. Spoke to a nissan representative and they can fix it by hooking it up to the computer and tuning it. Can you believe they charge $122 per hour.

Why don't you just do the procedure documented earlier in this thread. Idle air learning, throttle position etc.

It is really east to do and if all other things on the car are ok the car will set the idle at 650rpm (+-50). If idle is not set between 600-700 the ECU will not memorize the idle setting and idle will be moving around.

I had a faulty PCV valve and this stopped the idle being set correctly.

Good luck and save your self $100 for better mods.

Ohh talking about draining batteries has anyone seen those articles on the infiniti forums about our bose radio systems drawing enough energy to drain the battery over a period of 4 days? Apparently what happens is even when the system is manually turned off with the car turned off the radio draws energy from the battery. I can't remember exactly what the thread said but it was either related to a fault in the headunit itself or the amplifier located in the boot. I wouldn't mind looking into this as it can be tested to see whether the radio is drawing a certain amount of energy by hooking a meter up to the fuse box where indicated "radio" is that right Chris?

when i finished the install i reconnected the battery and i did an ecu reset straight away before i even started the car again

the car started fine and i took it for a 20min test drive for the ecu to start learning again. i got home and parked the car. i had to move the car again after 5 min and when i started the car - stall.

i think the instructions state the car should be at operating temperature when performing this procedure. rekon that might have something to do with it?

    • Yes. It's either "2 wires", or 1 wire, depending on how you look at it. It is the connection that ties the battery -ve to both the chassis and the engine. Every electron that goes in or out of the battery goes through those 2 small spots (on the inner guard and on the engine block). If those are not clean and tight, then shit starts to suffer. Yeah, but measure it again cold in the morning, after it has had hours to rest. You can't usefully test the charge state of a battery immediately after it has been running because the alternator puts a surface charge onto the plates that takes a while to soak in and balance out. It will always read higher, and potentially look properly healthy, when fresh off of charge. But hours later it can look a lot less healthy. It's also worth measuring the battery voltage while cranking, although this can be difficult with a typical DMM because the screem update rate is so slow on most of them. An analogue voltmeter is actually a better tool for that. If the voltage drops too far while cranking, it is a sign of a poor battery. Although I don't think we're necessarily looking for a weak battery here - just wanting to exclude it.
    • https://www.facebook.com/share/15ZMn5oXtc/ Updated Event (so its not private and can be shared easier)  Attempting to coordinate a big push of Stagea's to this years GTR Festival. Great event last year and hoping for the same this year.  Discounted tickets 20% off for their various tickets until the 3rd of Feb Monday. Drags, show and shine etc.  I've emailed them to ask to set a location aside for the Stageas for the show and shine - they are happy to do so if we can get them numbers, I'm happy to keep track of that. Entering as Nismo category.  I'll be road tripping up from Melbourne, would be cool to convey if people are interested, maybe there is SAU convoys from each capital? If you have ideas about that let me know.  https://gtrfestival.com.au  
    • Does have series 2 airbag steering wheel and passenger side airbag also.
    • Do I have a series 2 or has someone spent money to have a series 1/1.5 look like a series 2? Everything I have read says the series 2 came out in 1996. I have a car manufactured in December 1995. The exterior, engine and interior are all series 2 other than the dash facia is series 1. Paint code is also kr4 that I believe is only available on a series 2. I have a VX Vehicle History Report and it says Grade: GTS25T TYPE M2 Manufacture date: 1995-12 Make: NISSAN Model: SKYLINE Body: E-ECR33 Grade: GTS25T TYPE M2 Engine: RB25DET Drive: 2WD Transmission: F5
    • I went to Repco to get them to test the battery using their tester (not a volt meter), alternator shows 14.3v when running, and when the car was off after the it was on full load I think it was 12.6v but the guy said it was all good. Terminals are all clean, no corrosion. Though I coulda sworn when I tightened up my alternator belt the car idles a bit higher and the steering wheel shakes a bit until it's warmed up. I wanted to confirm for the earth cable/s, are you referring to the 2 wires that are bolted onto the frame rail under the battery? I might be overthinking this a bit.
