Hi, im building a RB30/26DETT with the RB26 intake manifold.

I've kept the IAA/AAC valve unit from my RB25 and was thinking of using that instead of buying the whole rb26 unit.

Now i need help identifying a certain part, its placed on the hose running from the AAC unit to the intake also if its needed for it to work! I havent still got the RB25, sold it a while ago without thinking i neede anything else off of it :S

Hope you can help me with this, heres the part :P

that ones for cold start idle up. i think its called the IACV.

it basically just bypasses the throttle body to idle up when the motors cold. its also usually connected to something with coolant flow to warm the air up. yet on alot of SRs ive fiddles with ive removed the coolant related parts to eliminate hoses and havent had a problem yet.

tho if the RB26 uses one of these make sure you put one on lol, the RB25 one should be identical they look the same on about 10 different motors ive seen.

It provides additional intake air for cold start. It contains a "gate" connected to a bi-metal strip that is electrically heated (the plug on the LH end in pic). As it warms up, the "gate" closes, cutting off the additional intake air.

It would have been so much easier if you said that i could easily do without it :D Specially since im going to run ethanol and 1600cc's, sounds like i should be ready to get me one if its gives me a hazzle starting it cold :P

Thanks mate!

Guess ill be skipping this one if it only has to do with preheating the AAC since i want to keep the engine as 'bare' as possible :P

sorry if i wasnt clear, as stated above it allows air to bypass the throttle body to idle up the motor without additional throttle. it is needed for the car to run smoothely on cold start. yet the part which seems to have confused you is that some motors have a coolant line connected to it also, to warm it up, which IMO is not necessary. BUT the valve itself is.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
