Hey kids,

I was posting in another topic but I thought I'd start fresh.

My car (R32 RB20DET) idles realtively OK when its cold (about 1100rpm) but when the needle reaches the middle of the temp gauge, it idles at about 2000rpm - and about 1600rpm with the air-con on.

- The car idles LOWER with the air-con ON (i would've thought the idle control would adjust in the opposite direction to compensate for compressor?)

- It idles HIGHER as the car gets warmer

- I've read topics that say to clean the AAC and they talk about a spring and that it should function properly - I pulled mine apart and cleaned it with carby cleaner (which didn't fix the problem) - and NO spring was present. Can someone tell me where the spring is supposed to be?

Pics of my AAC below

HHHEEELLLPPP PPPLLLEEEAAASSSEEE

Cheers,

Jason

Is it missing or otherwise sounding lumpy?

Generally what happens if it detects irregular idling, it'll bump up the idle to compensate. Could be what's happening there. So could be nothing to do with the AAC..

Check the AFM as well.. give that a clean as well..

Check for vacuum leaks, mine idled really high when it had a few leaks. Worst culprit was a vacuum hose missing of the REAR fuel pressure reg. (R32's have 2) This is what was causing my high idle

My two suggestions:

1)  Your Air Flow meter is either f*cked, or,

2) You have a big aftermarket fuel pump without engine management

2) is exactly what I got! THANKS!

I've got an S-AFC2 to install - I guess that'll help me adjust the idle (assuming all else engine-wise is OK)

Or I might put in my GTR pump that I have - I don't know whats in there now but its noisy

Thanx everyone else too - I'll clean my AFM just for good measure

    • I should. But it already uses too much fuel for a daily. You might note my recco for engine chnages are almost exclusively to people who have it as a weekender/summer car. I don't even have room to keep the spares for this one, let alone another car.
    • If I had "perfect R33 GTR" kinda money I would have bought one of the crazy expensive low mileage HJA cars, but I am sadly not that wealthy. I already picked this car out of various Skylines for sale locally, most of which were worse in some way. Only a few cars were actually better but also more expensive. In terms of buying a motor locally, I at least have the option to inspect it myself and juding the seller as a person, and used or freshly rebuilt engines that some people sell are actually ok price-wise. I knew the car was going to require work, but shit piled up real fast and I haven't even driven 1000km yet as the turbo started oiling like a bitch within a few weeks after I got the car.   I assume it wasn't actually me who cracked it, though there is no way to know when that crack formed and if the previous owner even knew it was there. Buying another 05U Block can be a gamble, yeah, but the cheapest PRP cast block is like twice or more money-wise, and billet is 3 or 3 times as much. For now I am most likely just keeping the current engine, as a rebuild or engine swap isn't happening right now. But I am seriously considering buying a second engine and selling mine in return. Might be a sweet deal at the end.
    • Hi all. I need some help buying the correct size banjo bolts for my 2860 turbos. Because whoever installed them tore up the original part, I ordered new ones of this kind, because I just figured these were the most leak-resistant option as I already had trouble with a shitty braided line. I need to know the thread size of the smaller left hole, that is the turbo oil feed connection. I found out so far that the turbo oil inlet apparently has a 7/16"-24 thread, but I cannot find any listing or description of the thread size on this line. I do not have the original bolts. I tried using the bolts that were in the turbos (the ones that were mounted with the shitty braided line) but they sit very loosely so they can't be the right thread. Means either these bolts are the wrong ones (how do they fit the turbo then? no clue) or the wraparound-lines have a different thread than the turbo oil feed itself. Help is appreciated, asking Nissan directly is obviously not going to work.
    • EDIT: PSA to whoever stumbles upon this thread. It is in fact a crack in the block that caused this concern. Just letting you know. In my case, a few cm long hairline crack going horizontally above the turbo oil feed. Classic RB shit I guess
