G'day guys i finally bought a skyline but its having a little issue i was wondering if anyone can help me.

1st thing: when i put the aircon on the revs lower 400rpm and stay low. Is it the FICD?

2nd thing and i think there related: any load i put on the car (lights,steering ect) revs drop and stay low,if i just slightly open the throttle just a teeny bit and find the right spot,(might take a min or 2) it will lower revs bout 300rpm and idle fluctuates.but after i find the spot and i opening her up a little bit more it dissapears.

it only does in the one spot when opening the throttle slightly.

Is the AAC and FICD blocked or sticking?

And are they both in the same housing at the rear of the manifold?

Its giving me the shits as soon as i drive off clutch out,slight throttle it fluctuates and carries on.

any help guys would be appreciated.

Ok i took it off and it seemed not that dirty and nothing was clogging the air bypass were the screw goes into.

also turned the a/c on and unplugged the FICD and i could hear it clicking...but no change in idle? It should increase RPM

That part could be clogged? or need replacing?

I also just noticed the fluctuation (maybe misfire) it happens more when warming up but decreases when warm but its still there.

Maybe TPS?

if its a misfire then its almost certainly your coilpacks.Have you replaced them? Gapping plugs to 0.8 and splitfires fixed my misfire problem , revs would drop down with noticeable misfire and jerk at wide open throttle.

I gapped the plugs yesty heat rand 7 good plugs,fouled from slightly rich tune.

and there brand new spitfire coil packs.

WOT no missfire,

It seems like a apparent miss or hunt when i just touch the throttle and i have to hold it at right spot for it to do it im talking like .5-1mm

of throttle movement and it happens.

if i

I PM'd the video it would let me upload it otherwise. its cold first off then its warm n sits just below 1000rpm then when i touch it its flickeres up and and down

cant see the video

upload it on youtube or on www.mediafire.com and give me the link

Yes and gapped to .8 as everyone does, in this forum anyway. I cleaned the AAC unit and adjusted my tps and cleaned my maf.

Problem now instead of fulcrum ting (hunting) if I put any load on the engine it will drop idle and carry one untill I open the throttle up

that sounds like a deeper issue

the only things that would cause that , that i know off are all the things you've already cleaned & checked. tps , maf , splitfires & plugs...

coils and plugs are the number one issue for this....

where are you located? My mechanic Paden from Unique Automotive (in villawood sydney) is a genius and Im willing to bet he can diagnose this by just listening to it.

    • I had never actually looked into it, but aren't onboard compressors a thing in trucks?
    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
