Hi guys.. Just a couple of quick questions...

On the front of the throttle body of the RB30 down under where the intake pipe joins there is a small pipe connection that's for the Idle air when the throttle butterfly is closed. Is that meant to have a hose hooked up to it or not? If so, where too?

And, is the AAC valve supposed to have a spring in it? I read somewhere to be careful when pulling it apart so as to not loose the spring, mine definitely did not have a spring.

And help greatly appreciated.

Don't mean to sound like a tard here but isn't it RB20, RB25 and RB26 only, or are you referring to a stoked RB26 or something.

no idea what this has to do with my questions...

I went and had a look at a mates and his has a hose coming off it but it just goes down by the engine mount so is still sucking in air.... i ended up blocking mine off till i figure out where its meant to go.

Hey mate... here's a pic of the throttle body showing what I am talking about, thanks.

Oh and as for the aac valve, i got one off a mate and they do have a spring.

that pipe is for coolent to run through. to help the thottlebody warm up quicker or not freeze during winter... i think

      [HOW-TO] Winter Steam-Clean & Odour Removal in 30 min

      By The Bogan 路 Posted

      Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up

      Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
