Hi Guys,

I havern't seen many posts outlining the results of removing the AAC. Obviously to make up for it missing you would need to adjust the Throttle body to allow the right amount of air in idle. I know it is silly for it to be removed as it helps out when Aircon and power steering is been used + stacks of other things. Personally I am keeping mine on. But it would be nice seeing if people have done it and can provide their knowledge to anyone that decides to remove it.

The Main questions I would ask if I was doing it is.

1. When adjusting the TPS would you reset the postion to 0 once you find the perfect idle or would you allow the ECU to relise there is some throttle been put down.

2. Would there be any problems with a BOV setup as creating a system like this you will never have full throttle closure.

3. Has any one experienced problems when going into full lock or turning on the air con.

The Microtech would have its own Idle control, I wonder if anyone has run it on a stock ecu or with Nistune????? Do you still have your TPS on and how is it setup? Is it configured to identify there is idle or has it been reset??

mine is not connected but thats due to the car not having aircon at all however im running a microtech also

AAC is still needed without aircon

Why would you want to take the AAC off? It just creates headaches doing so

    • 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
