Hi all, my car somehow accidently make a 180 spin and after that, I realize a few diffrent from before. When the engine startup during cold weather, it start at 2k rpm, b4 that was 1k only. But it then slowly go down to 600-700rpm. Before it make the spin, max RPM during startup is 1k and normal running is 500 only. Not to mention, my Apexi turbo timer "DEAD", no information been display. My best guesses is the ECU somehow auto reset! Anyone have any comment on it? Is this good or bad?

its Highly unlikly that the spin did anything to your car,

It is normal for your car to rev at higher rpm on the cold start aslong as the rpm drops once the car is warm up then you shouldnt worry about it. Normal idle rpm is around 600-800rpm

For your apexi turbo timer, im guessing that the spin may have knock it around and it is possable that the wiring was loses and the spin just knock it out of place, check all ur wiring and make sure everything is connect and grounded right.

Also there is an idle screw on your car, and if ur worried about ur idle just play around with it till u get it to what it was like

Hope that Helps

What Mike said bout the idling is right, the revs will drop as the engine warms up. "Slowing" to 700 is alright. That's where mine sits at after warming up.

Also agree you probably stalled the car by not clutching in.

Your car would be fine, sounds like rattled wires on ur TT or something.

How did your 'car' accidently 180 itself....?

Jeez its a tough crowd in here (some), the poor guy is obviously from os, and he gets slammed for not speaking english, his grammer isnt the best and he gets canned for that.

What ever happened to the friendly forums? :O

"my car somehow accidently make a 180 spin " siaw, just so you know next time, to write this using the correct aussie grammer, try this:

"I farked up coming out of a bend, put my foot in a bit too hard and the back end went out, after a bit of tank slapping, I lost it compeletly and she did a 180"

Its ok, I know I have farked up heaps driving my car, especially when I was a young fella - probably why P platers have such a high mortality rate :D Dont feel too bad about being honest when you fark up, we all do it, its one way to learn.

Glad to hear there was no accident, you did get lucky there.

siaw, suggest, (as others have) it has something to do with the TT, check all the wiring, if that doesnt work, also check your inlet piping, you may have a small leak near the manifold as some pipes on these cars can be a bit old and tired. Also, as suggested, you could try adjusting the idle control valve, but this is more a cover up than a fix.

If you live near willetton, drop me a pm and you can come around to my place and I will have a look for you to see if it is something obvious, or, if all else fails, just take it to a reputable workshop such as C-Red, Hyperdrive, X-Speed and ask them to take a look.

good luck

      "CAD" version 1.0 It will have a 15mm lip around the top for 6 × 5 or 6mm nutserts and fixtures (two on each of the three straight edges), and some pinch weld on any exposed edges, it has three mounting points, one of the power steering reservoir bolts, and two on the rad support, my 120mm hole saw will make short work of hole for the silicone joiner, with ample room for some pinch weld  I've also got enough Carbuilders "peel and stick" heat shield to cover the outside of it at the coolant expansion tank and on the engine side, as pictured, and internally on the lid and where the fuse box is, I've also got some thin, about 3mm, black 3M single sided sticky foam stuff that was left over after sealing some door drafts at home to help seal the lid As for the shape, it "sort of" matches the shape of the fuse box, so shouldn't look to "out of place" The lower area and hole for the intake will need pinch weld with a balloon on it to fully seal the hole and bottom of it, that will happen after it has been fabricated so I know exactly what size is required  Filter service has been trialed,  and so far it was a simple process  Just need to get some alloy, and then head into work to use the guillotine and break press in the workshop Hopefully it should be sorted in a week or two Guestimated outlay will be under a $50 for the stuff I don't have on hand (alloy, 6mm nutserts, the pinch weld, and wrinkle paint) Disclaimer: That's what the "voices in my head" are telling me how the filter box should end up getting done......lets see if they know what they are talking about

      Have been polishing up the trailer rims as they had been sitting in the shed for a few years and are really in need of some love. This was after a couple of passes with chrome polish - coming up quite well ✅ .

      Welcome aboard! Is your Skyline auto or manual? I'm assuming manual. Does it have any mods done yet?

      Another "where do these lines and plugs go" RB25DET question

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Hey mate, the brown and grey plugs would usually go to the TPS, brown one goes on the bottom connector and grey is the top but isn't used unless the car is auto, your TPS looks different to mine though I've got a series 2 engine.
