Ok i manage to figure it out although it didnt really help. I got a bit desperate and ended up re-initialising the pfc and it seems to be under control to a certain degree. Hunts still around 860-920rpm. Sounds lumpy so its not all bad.

Tps on idle is around 0.39-0.40v on idle but how are u suppose to increase the WOT voltage?

from paulr33s PFC guide im suppose to let it idle for up to 30min to let it relearn while turning AC on and off.

Bit devo'ed about losing my tune though =[

2mins to reload tune, amazed your car is even running after initialising it... you rotate the whole unit to adjust the voltage.

Thats good to know thanks Trent. I got work this sat and sun until 5pm so depending on how busy you are i might have to wait till next week.

I managed to figure out how to adjust the idle voltage by turning the whole unit but is there a way of adjusting WOT voltage without affecting idle voltage? Its almost as if i cant change the range, i can only adjust the minimum and maximum, which in turn adjusts the maximum and minimum.

LOL

Well this is embarrising. Went to start the car to go to work this morning and the car is barely running. I guess thats what you meant Trent. I didnt realise the car had to be turned off and on for the ECU to be re-initialised. Engine check light is on even while idling so i switched it straight off. Looks like i might have to get it towed to you Trent.

Unless someone has a FC Hacko or similar i can borrow?

Great news guys!!

Originally had the starter motor replaced as the car has been struggling to start over the past month. Suspected bad earth could have caused the high idle. Had it replaced but did not fix the issue. We then replaced the TPS due to a weird a voltage range from 0.39v - 2.56v. After resetting this and replacing the actual TPS unit, we were hopeful but still no change.

Finally after replacing the Idle Control Regulator (had to rip the plenum off to do this) the cars idling at a smooth 950rpm.

After close to a year of sounding like i was launching off the line at every intersection, i am pleased to say the problem has been solved.

Thank you to everyone help!!!

p.s - if anyone is having problems with idle please shoot me a PM, ill try to be as helpful as i can.

HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP - could pm so will post below:

hi read ur post about idle, well I have idle issues mainly first thing in the morning, will kick car over, it will idle rough at around 500rpm for like 5secs then die, unless i give it a lil throttle...

could be cold start issues or more serious.....

also when accelerating normal or quick the rpm will climb but then feel like its backed off, even tho my foot is firm on the pedal...

I am getting dyno done, some say R&R some say bad TPS, some say bad AFR... I have no idea...

    • Getting Dangerously close to being ready to go back in the car. Rockers in with clearance castings now (and a quick check with the USA for the torque settings for the larger custom bolts) Covers and ported FAST Manifold sitting on there. Not fully tightened down as there's some clearancing required for the water pump with the earlier LS1 water pump styles. Example of the clearancing needing to be done: The body has to be ground a little but I'm struggling finding an actual piece of it. The later variant of water pump resolves the issue as the manifold was designed around it. It only came on the VZ LS1 in Australia, it got a different pulley for Gen4 motors. (it also costs $450... vs... $0).

    • Doing some height adjustment on front suspension on a v35 and noticed this. The passenger side looks correct. So wondering what's happened to the drivers side?
    • Oh...I have the electric mirrors as well iirc ...they're in the same state as just about every other R31 door mirrors, with the 3 plastic screw towers broken/cracked in the plastic molding. All the interior is 'dry', so the mirror switches etc likely all work fine. Some pics below of the trimmer pieces ~ looks to me like previous owner, painted chrome finished trims with black paint ...ergo, the chrome underneath is likely a-ok... ...starts to look yukky posting stuff like this, how much did it cost in fuel on your last sortie up this way?...me just thinking aloud, borrow someone else's 4cyl to cut costs, come do your own pick'n'pull like before to save me some bother...hehe.. but whatever, I'll just earmark bits I know you want, because the way this is all panning out, I'll be able to retire the R31 from daily duty at long last, replacing it with a Subaru wagon I'm lining up in the wings...ergo, my attitude towards the donor pinny shell is starting to wane a bit, and I'm more than happy to help you out there... Like you say though, no rush...and I'll guarantee we won't be moving too far from this locale at any rate 馃槑
