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 have an Elite 2500, honestly most of this has been a lot of smaller tasks chasing little details and a whole lot of life getting in the way of bigger projects. I don't mind too much looking at a spectrograph vs having audio knock ears. 
    • Nah nah nah nah. Don't do it. It's not all about the full throttle power delivery. The main "street fun" and drivability gains from smaller rear (in this case) is how you will have boost available from a low rpm when yo just roll onto the throttle. Think jinking in and out of traffic, coming out of roundabouts, etc etc, where you just want to roll onto the throttle a little and have the spooly noise from ~2000rpm and a swell of torque. More of what you've already achieved by going to 2.5. And then, towards the tail end of 2025 you can pull the turbo 4 out and put in a V8 like we originally suggested. :P
    • Cheers for the info mate, I'm old too, 60 years old next May, so a more linear delivery of the 0.86 would be better as baking tyres and snapping heads isn't on the cards for me or the car I assume a more linear power delivery would be better for engine and drivetrain reliability as well, IRT the torque load at lower RPM???, as well as lower EGT's???, if my understanding of that is correct, have I got that right??? I've only got a really basic understanding of turbo sizing and all there characteristics  Cheers for the useful information 
    • What kind of power delivery are you after? If it's nice and linear, the 0.86 would be better. If you're after bake tyres and head snaps on boost the 0.64 would be fun. I'm boring and old, so linear power is preferred. Lately I've been watching videos on Z06 Corvettes and super charged Mustangs.... 
    • I’d go the smaller rear just because you’re staying on 98, if e85 I’d go the bigger one
