Hi gang, i just had a custom plenum nade for my 34 neo and ariel left the iac valve off as he advised me to check with my tuner first to see how he would prefer it mounted etc. as its off already and no plates have been welded, i was wondering if its possible to tune and allow the car to run/idle normally with it removed? If not, what will be a side effect of not running one?

i've read that the 34 setups are diff to 33 and most neo boys used 33 iac and tb. if i'm unable to tune it without the iac then whats needed to fit and get the 33 iac working. do the plugs fit or they need to be rewired ? does it matter if its from s1 or s2?

any help much appreciated :D cheers

If you remove it how will the car idle? The throttle body is closed so there will be no source of air!

Definitely need an idle air control valve. Whether you can use a different one depends on how they are wired up, I imagine they are just a duty cycled solenoid much like an injector, so as long as the tuning software allows adjustment of the gain factor for the valve you should be able to really use anything.

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong though.

it is best to have it or you can put an adjuster screw onto the throttle body to hold the throttle open slightly, this is a bodgy way as there is no adjustment for idle up during air con, lights on etc

put it in an easily accessible place that looks neat/ hidden. you will need to be able to run the hose from it to the intercooler pipe just before the throttle body

hey fellas, cheers for the response.

will be running a nistune so i guess it would be best to have it installed. i'll look into fitting a r33 iac instead and hopefully i can find some information somehwere. i have a/c still and would like to keep it.

nistune will freak,

but like guilt-toy said generally it is no issue, map sensor based ecu's dont really care either way, but iac equiped car will always behave nicer especially on the street..

if its nistune use the r34 iac setup remote mounted.

Hey trent, cheers for the info. can you enlighten me more on remotely mounting it.. does this mean i have to block the rear of the valve with a plate and tap a feed to the top of the valve instead? ariel mentioned something about this and said to consult with my tuner but i'm finding it so hard to get in contact with unigroup to get some answers..

RB25 throttle bodies have the adjustment screw allready there.

Just to quickly clarify, AAC (Auxiliary Air Control) is the hose that goes into the intercooler pipe to feed extra air into the engine when the throttle is shut and IAC (Idle Air Control) is the hose from the heater that feeds warm air into the engine when warming up, correct?

Question, how is it that a lot of cars from factory run fine without AAC (Such as a JZA80 Supra). Is it because they are map sensored so it makes it easier? I have tried pissing my AAC off back in the day but the Microtech simply hated it even though it is MAP sensored. So what's the go?

yeah map sensors dont actually get effected by minor airflow pulses etc so generally dont try compensate... hence rock solid idle.

You can even drill a small hole in the butterfly to help stabilise the idle.

but like previously mentioned its not all that nice for everyday streeters that need pwr steer, a/c etc load compensation.

Only reason I wanted to piss it off back in the day was due to not wanting to run the extra hose when going to the Plazmaman plenum. Now it doesn't really worry me since it is allready set up. It was mainly a "neater" option to not run one at the time :happy:

will just end up getting the plenum modded to fit the IAC, would make life alot easier :D

why is the iac mount missing? is it an old version?

the ones on the website are like the one i had in the shop, had a bolt on position for the stock IAC.

      Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild.

      If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.

      Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.

      Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
