Air Regulator Maintenance

[Bazelinez]

Agreed, this is the worst thing I've had to do to my car so far!!!!

Guys, I will try to get some pics back up. I just dont have net at home ATM so it's difficult. I'll try tho.

EXC - Try www.photobucket.com

Free and plenty of space

[eXc]

But how long will it last for? I don't think I even have the pics anymore. I know a few guys downloaded a PDF i made, i will try to get that back to get the pictures.

[jezzerrr]

forever, so long as you visit occasionally ie once per month or so. I think if you donate it is permanent.

Or you could post the pdf (too?)

Dude, there's a sticky in this VERY FORUM telling you how to attach images to your posts

Here's the link: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=47677

I must be an idiot, but when I tried I couldnt do it. I did check that first.

I lost the PDF. I deleted the whole directory by accident, so i lost the pics, pdf, word doc, and the Forum code I wrote.

If I can find who got the pdf i might be able to get it back

pics are up.

On SAU and my server.

Dayuum... has anyone tried this on an r33 yet? it's right under the inlet manifold! basically need to take the whole inlet off to even see it! this will be a bastage of a job...

Hence my tut and pics to show where it is. It took me forever to work out what it was based on people's description! haha

I dont think you need to take the whole inlet manifold off. I was trying to get to mine coz i have a high idle problem. If you take the oil filter off it will give you a bit more room.

I just did an oil and filter change so the air regulator is going to have to wait

[jezzerrr]

yeah it's actually in a different spot again... the biggest thing for me was knowing what the damn thing looked like! but yeah descriptions alone just dont cut it! below that WHAT, exactly?

good work mate

Inasnt you're right removing the oil filter will free up a bit more room, still think it'll be a caaaaan't all the same. I'm in the same boat as you, just did the oil change. it's just a right piss off! the other day my damn car stalled because of it... and I hate hearing that pinging when it pulls itself back up off 100rpm! think i'm just gonna have to skin some knuckles...

ok pics are up again (first post)

If anyone does a 33/34 take some photos of where it's located please and attach or send them to me.

Cheers

This was an absolute pain in the ass to do, had to open up the air reg while inside the car coz the harness would just not come out. But I am so happy after checking AFM, throttle body, TPS, cleaning AAC this finally semi-fixed my idle.

It has however mostly fixed my idle, I'd like to know whether inside of it the opening is meant to be over the hole at all. In the picture posted it looks like there is still a slight gap(about 1mm), and that is the same with mine, however I would have thought it should be fully closed. The idle has dropped down now(but now its almost stalling coz it drops well under 500 after reving then flicks back up), but I wanna know whether i will need to buy another air regulator to adjust it all properly.

btw I couldn't find a spring to buy that was small enough anyway.

Cheers,

Adrian

I will be trying this tonight...Does anyone have any pics specific for R33?

I had a look last night to see if I could find it based on this thread, with no luck.

I might take the plenum off to make things easier.

[Tristan21]

I took mine out and gave it a clean however I noticed that the spring was not holding the bimetallic plate on fully, allowing air to escape on idle (causing idle to stay around 1500-2000 depending on temp)

I got a quote from Nissan, $276.95 for a new valve. I will give this a go and report back. Hopefully the idle will drop back down to normal.

For an R32 RB20 you don't need to remove half the stuff listed. I just pulled off one side of the 2 small vacuum lines and the larger lines with the T-piece. The only tricky bit is working around the loom which runs over the top over the unit. Oh and dropping the bolts down into the manifold .

Hence me saying...

"2) Have a look, and work out if you can get to it as is. I couldn’t; so I chose to remove the following, you can skip ahead if you think you can get to it without removing them."
