I need some help please.

I was thinking about selling my R34 GTR V-spec, found a guy who said he would buy it, took it for a week test tour, and blew the engine on it. He then left town, and I can't find him.

Anyway, I had to take out the engine, swap cranckshaft, replace piston rods and pistons, install new turbos, and all gaskets. Etc.

After starting the car up, it idles on 2500rpm, the blow off valve seems to not be functioning, the sound which used to be there when I let go of the throttle is not there anymore.

I have no clue on where to start in the search to get the idle down or getting the resirculating valves to function again.

I took the car to a Nissan dealership, and they tried to adjust the idle using consult device, but it didn't work.

Well, I don't have a good answer to why I loaned him the car for a week... He was a friend of a friend who I trusted.

Throttle bodies?

Honestly I am no mechanic myself, but I'm pretty sure the guy who did the rebuild have checked things as such, his guess was an electric fault or error...

I know its the throttle bodies because i did it when i was a 2nd year apprentice. Cleaned the throttle bodies during my rb26 build. Started up at 2500rpm. Did everything to diagnose then worked out its the throttle bodies. When u clean them it removes the sealer and now they act as if u have the throttle slightly open

    • I know it's an entirely different engine, but I noticed practically 0 difference removing or adding 2x 3in (5inch body) 400cell cats (one in each bank) with regards to sound. So changing the cat to change drone I suspect will have very very, very, very, very, very very minimal impact.
    • 200 cell cat will probably help. Do you have room to tee off a Helmholtz resonator anywhere along the exhaust? These can do wonders for drones, with a little experimentation with regards to length.
    • The car revs up through the gears much better/faster now, and fuel consumption doesn't really seem to have be affected either on a Hwy cruise, which wasn't expected  The FAB9 intake manifold has been problematic sourcing though, I've contacted Plasmaman to ask about their intake, which you can get different runner lengths spec'd, and, their different options for throttle bodies  The only real physical drawback with the Plasmaman intake is how to connect it to my current OEM style airbox, as FAB9 make a OEM style back half of the airbox to suit the larger diameter throttle body, and all that is required is a 30°bend silicone pipe to mate the throttle body to the airbox Car also goes in for some exhaust work in a week or so to fit the biggest resonator they can fit clearance wise in the front pipe to help remove some of the drone, there isn't alot of realestate under there, a rough guesstimation is it will only be about 3-400mm long and maybe 90-100mm diameter, and with a 60mm exhaust that doesn't leave alot of space for the internal volume of the resonator to do its thing I'm thinking I may need to bin the "high flow" 100 cell cat for something a bit more substantial, yeah, and restrictive, like a 200-400 cell, to help, but, I have ample room for a really large bodied cat to replace the current one which has around a 4" diameter body I may look around in the recycling bins and see if I can find a massive newish cat that was "replaced" with some new full exhaust system that the local exhaust shop in Western Sydney is doing
    • Hahah look at that smile 😂 Just like those ones on IG where they compare the husband in family photos vs husband going fishing lol. I don't think I'll participate this time, clutch isn't in and also the last time I went there were too many numpties on the cruise sessions. Nearly caused a few accidents holding up people and a few guys initiating massive kerb to kerb drifts with heaps of cars right behind them. Not to mention, there were guys on the track session using it as a power cruise session.
