it will rev to 2000rpm and back to 1500rpm

rb30det w/ S1 rb25de head and std internals

rebuilt std vl turbocharger

S1 rb25det ecu. tried s1 rb25de ecu and s2 rb25det ecu

did you use a turbo block and pistons or NA block and pistons?

You haven't given much info.

But a factory ECU isn't going to run a different capacity engine, and different turbo very well.

Stock ECU or maps has idled fine on all my 30's, I would be looking for a vacuum leak or checking the afm connections.

OK. I wouldn't have worried about non-turbo injectors, as going smaller is hardly going to help. If you've tried a different IAC valve, let's just be sure we're talking about the correct valve. There's two involved in the idling of the car. The IACV is the one at the back end of the plenum that is motor controlled by the ECU to control the idle speed at all times. The other valve is hidden under the plenum and is the cold start valve. It's electrically heated and is open when cold. As it warms up it closes off the extra air that it lets in for a cold fast idle. You don't want to play with that one, it's the IAC that's important. If you've changed the IAC with no change, are you sure that the wiring and connector for it is sound?

Also, do go look at the codes. You might find the answer right there.

I had the same issue when i cleaned my throttle bodies in my first GTR.

Also in my old r31 but that was due to dud iac valve (idle motor)

Try crimping the hose that feeds the idle motor to see if the idle drops.

Make sure the throttle cable isnt over adjusted. Make sure throttle plate is fully closed.

Make sure idle adjustment screw is wound all the way in.

Make sure cooling system is bled

will it matter with no coolant because it doesn't have any in it what so ever

Sounds like a wiring issue to me.

I'm pointing straight to the AFM for the time being. I have seen similar things with dud AFMs / No AFM connected / Incorrectly wired AFM.

Because VL's wiring is SOOOO gay, and most people dont know how to correctly wire up RB's, most people miss the fact that some of the sensors have a separate power feed fed by a brown wire, and most people dont even both wiring up the crank signal, most of them run like shit.

I'd check the AFM, if you are not electrically minded, get a mate that knows RB's wiring WELL. Check for the obvious too, IE, vacuum leaks.

It is possible that the IACV doesn't even have power to it, one pin should have +12V when the ignition is on. The 0V for this valve is controlled by the ECU.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
