Lambchop With A Renault Axis Here...

[bigkevracer]

my first problem with the car, its intermitantly idleing really high, like 1500rpm in "drive" and 2500 in nuetral.

noticed i had wired the thermo fan up backwards but the car didnt overheat.

as far as i can tell by the boost gauge its still on the correct vacuum at normal idle.

any idea's i need to get this sorted before the starlight charrity cruise on sunday!!!!

Funny, I'm not convinced my thermo fan is turning on, but I'm still running about the same water temps as everyone else, ~90deg according to the informeter.

That probably doesn't tell you much, but what vacuum are you showing at idle? What gauge do you have?

ive got a Autometre sport comp II - idle nuetral and in drive is 15/16 In.Hg

[WAGON_BOY]

pulled the intake apart there's no signs of oil around the throttle body so its not that.

took the car for a drive to warm it up didnt have any hastles but when i got back i noticed in nuetral its normal at 15In.Hg but in gear its sitting at 19In.Hg

tryed playing with some of the vacuum hoses when i pulled out the one before the solinoid/valve for the fuel breather i think it is, it drops back to around 15/16In.hg so i wonder if thats the problem..............

other than that i cant tell much else.................. any one else had these problems???

Brake booster? Fuel reg or dampener?

The only one I have heard leaking, on almost every M35 I have worked on is the PCV hose, it goes hard and leaks around the fitting on the plenum end. The fuel reg hoses sometimes pop off too.

Heated seats are damn good in winter. But on several occasions I've bumped the switch without realising it and my balls gets toasted..

haha yeah i hated accidently doing that especially in qld.. youd wonder why your legs and back would start sweating until you saw the orange light.

what i found was more disturbing was when you attempted to reverse in snow mode instead of sports mode and it would do that jerk motion like trying to rock itself out of a boggy ditch , and never fully engage the diff

without realising you had flicked the switch.

i only 'had' a rx , everyone seems to have much better ones on the forum if i was going to buy again it would be axis then RS depending on looks/condition . all i had was the heated seats. no lsd , but fortunately no hicas!

(wonders if he'll get shamed out for choosing a c34 instead next time a late model neo based one or a 260rs - theyre getting cheaper!)

Lol, check out the kids with the boogie boards staring at your car.

[WAGON_BOY]

already put 10,000Km on her since i bought it gave her my first oil change, went with the royal purple seeing as it was on special and drilled out the turbo oil restrictor bango bolt.

its been an awesome car so far, dont regret for one second buy it. (fuel bills are a bit high but hay its worth it) and on a top note havent had any drama's with her other than my own silly mistake with the boost gauge line getting caught up in the accelerator pedal LOL so touch wood it'll be happy motoring for a long time yet

im thankful for all the great info on this site and all the people who take the time to help out, its muchly appreciated.

no real plans for the car in the near future just goin to enjoy it and drive her untill the 2nd quarter of next year then i'll do a few more mods like strut braces and start saving for the turbo mods hopefully it doesnt rear its ugly head to soon!!!

[bigkevracer]

You wont be able to fit a strut brace with the spacer on. Ive got a strut brace and there is just no room for a spacer.

Im tempted to remove it now that Ive got the BCs in, see what difference it makes, but when I first fitted it I felt it straight away. Much more direct and tighter.

[zei20l]

id take the strut brace over the spacer. actually thinking of selling the spacer kit and getting a strut brace

i think my BOV is starting to cause more problems than just farting so im looking for an easy aftermarket replacement................. what have you used and what would you recommened.

here's one i found i'll have to find out if its suitable.............. Turbosmart Kompact

any help appreciated

[scotty nm35]

That's what I am using ATM with the strong spring. Not sure how it will drive on the stock map though.

[bigkevracer]

I'm using the model up, the Nissan Specific Dual Port: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Turbosmart-Dual-Port-Blow-Off-Valve-Skyline-R32-R34-/130553048394?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1e65916d4a

Just got it Thursday, put it in, and drove with it around the place over the weekend, about 200k on it. A lot more flutter than I was expecting, even after playing with the adjustment all weekend.

I installed it as a plumb back, and it works fine with the stock map. It idles and runs fine no matter what I do to the adjustment.

Reason I went with this one was because Turbosmart told me the Kompact was no good for about 15-16PSI+. Figured I'd give the dual port a crack.

I bought it from those ebay guys above, quick turnaround, everything was good. But when I bought it, the listing was for $US299 with free shipping.

Obviously false info, its running fine at 30psi, as long as its plumbed back...

[bigkevracer]

Kompact is plumb back only anyway isn't it?

I suspect after talking to Aaron that the person I spoke to didn't know about the stiffer spring. Happy with what I have though, and when I bought it the exchange rate was quite favourable so price was ok.

Although I'm still not sure if the flutter is cool or annoying...
