hi,i have a nissan skyline r33 1993 model and it idles at 2000rpm wen i first start it in the morning and then after about 15min it would drop down to about 1400/1500 rpm it does have a different bigger penum and throttle body on it as thats how i bought the car.

When it warms up and i go around for a drive it slightly drops to 1300/1400 rpm and then i go home and adjuust the idle screw it does nothing till i rev it and the it drops to 900/1000 rpm.

I would then go for a drive again and it would jump up again after 5min and if it stays at that idle under 1000rpm it would stall or feel like a cut out till it hits over 1200rpm again.

I have taken it to a mechanic but the best they could do is have it idle at 1300rpm and they thought out all my vacume leaks and fuel and tuned and it still does it.

Any help on this would be great.

Its hurting my head not knowing whats wrong with it.

ive fixed all the vac leaks changed the pugs and the coilpacks are fine, so that leaves me with afm and iac valve.

Any ideas how i go about cleaning the afm its a z32? and where the iac valve is on this setup or are they located all the same?

Which "idle screw" did you adjust? DO NOT adjust the throttle stop screw (on the side of the TB). You adjust the screw in the IAC (with the electrical plug disconnected).

Have you checked base timing?

What ECU is it running?

The AFM shouldn't need specific cleaning - on shutdown, the ECU heats the AFM hot-wire to burn any crap off.

yeah didnt adjust the throttle one i just adjusted the one on the aac thats it but didnt really need to adjust as when it warmed up it went and stayed on 900rpm...you mean i should adjust it with the plug on the aac off?

Do i do it when its warm or cold? cause when i cleaned the aac it was sitting at 2000rpm then it dropped down.

How do i go about when its cold not to be at 2000rpm and to be a lil bit lower then that?

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
