  1. I couldn't get this to work right, New clean IACV, coolant seems to flow and solenoid functions, but again as soon as I plug it in the idle raises, I ran the car for a good 1/2 hour messing around with various things it, no vac leaks.

    At one point with the IACV plugged in I was able with the adjustment in the side of IACV turned all the way in get it idle down a little to around 1000, but no lower, and it would surge, I unplugged the IACV engine rpms drop to about 350, turned the adjustment about 3 turns in , set idle to around 800 rpms' and it idles smooth.

    I set the idle stop screw abut the same so it cant drop below under load. the engine starts, restarts, with no load or with a load seems to run fine. I will have to leave it like this for now as I cant get it to function correctly with the IACV plugged in.

    One other thing I discovered that might be the reason for some of the issues, the engine in the car is a RB25det neo from a Stagea along with the Stagea ECU. so alot of wiring, plumbing etc that is typically there in a R34 is not. 

  2. I just replaced the timing belt, along with tensioner, idler, water pump, etc. all the front end engine stuff with all new stock Nissan parts on my 98 R34 GTT that I just recently got, so glad I did as the belt ,tensor, idler and water pump were all original to the car with over 161 Km and looked absolutely terrible, honestly I cant believe the belt has not broken, luckily I have not driving the vehicle since I got it, and only have ran a few times because I've been restoring it over this winter. I turned engine over by hand and lined up all the timing marks from cams, to the head (plate behind pulleys), and crank to  oil pump block mark, as ran fine, but had a lot of front end noise. the idler sounded like gravel and the tensioner had to no tensor left on it at all as it appeared the spring had rusted in place due to a waterpump leak over the years. so the timing belt was very loose on the left or tensioner side.

    Never the less I turn engine by hand until everything lined up even with the marks on the original belt. I remove everything making sure not to rotate anything, then put in new tensioner,  idler, made sure all marks from belt matched marks on the pulleys, cams and crank alike and all marks from crank and cams to head and block were perfect. I slowly turned by hand and everything lined up on the cams and crank to the head and block every other time, as proper. all looked fine until I put the lower timing belt cover back on, then the  harmonic balancer, at this point before torqueing the crank bolt down I noticed the timing mark on the lower cover to the harmonic balancer is off.

    I think the marks on the harmonic balancer and in 5 degrees, from 0-20  and it should be at 0, but some how its around -2.5, not enough for a belt notch, and there is little play in this cover to the block.

    The key way and key are perfect on the crank and slot in balancer is perfect, no play here, and the cams and other timing marks seem to be on. Is this something to be concerned with or will it be fine. maybe just this way due to a new stock Nissan belt?? slightly tight and will stretch a hair???

    I marked the CAS before disassembly and know it should be set to 15 degrees BTDC or so at 650 rpms per engine decal. so do I need to worry about what appears to be a slight retard of the mechanical timing? or will this slight difference be compensated when I adjust my CAS?

     

    appreciate any insight.

     

     

  3. I replaced the entire IACV assembly with new unit from Nissan, idle acts the exact same, starts and runs with idle rock solid at 900, as soon as I plug in the solenoid from the new IACV the idle races up to 1400, even with idle adjustment on side back of intake manifold maxed out for lowest idle still way too high around 1200.  Again if I unplug the IACV, turn idle screw to about half and it runs fine at around 900. thinking about just leaving it unplugged, do not ever plan to drive it when its cold, and always stored in climate control garage, just sucks to spend 500 dollars and have no change, could have left the original at this point. any other thoughts as to what it could be? maybe not even worth pursuing? that is if cold start idle aid was the only reason for Nissan to have this part anyway. tried AC and other loads and it never seemed to push idle below stall.

  4. 98 ER34 GTT idle races, if AAC is unplugged, then idles perfect.

     

    1998 ER34 GTT rb25det neo, 

    rpm's race at idle, around 1200 rpms, I cleaned MAF, AAC/IACV. no change.

    if I unplug the ACC 2 wire plug, it idles correctly, around 900 rpms.

     

    questions:

    1. will it damage anything or effect characteristics by driving the car with this AAC unplugged?

    2. is this 2 wire AAC component replaceable, or must one replace entire IACV assembly?

     

    appreciate any help

  5. can some one tell me where these two hoses from the ac compressor are suppose to be connected to?

    the front one on mine has been plugged with a bolt...

    I searched the online manuals etc. but could not locate it

    ( i realize the pic is of the rb25de and not the det but I could not get a clear picture of mine, googled this image which shows clearly the two lines I am referring to)

    thanks

  6. Can some one clarify and or post some pictures of how the inner front fender "protector" (rear half) connects to the front fender????

    main question and struggle is does the lip of the inner fender plastic protector guard go under or over the lip of the fender above the wheel?

    and so should the lip of the fender be visible or should you see the edge of the inner fender protector guard over lapping the fender lip?

    and so the "clips" that hold them on would go through the guard then into the fender?  or through the fender into the guard?

    (my guess would be the clip goes through the guard then into the fender, if they used "standard" push in body clip but all these items are gone and i cant find any wear or indent showing me how they once where installed)

  7. did some google and I think I found that the two hoses by battery, must be for washer bottle, that is missing, the front outside temp sensor goes on bottom driver side edge of lower rad cross member. correct me if I'm wrong.

     

    new question:

    car has what looks to be the xenon style headlights,

    what color are head light bulbs originally?

    current outside corner lights are blue...

  8. did some google searching, and it appears alot of these rb25det neo from Stagea's have nothing in that TCS opening.

    as far as that hose next to the bov, I found this pic and it is showing this hose, it has two short sections and a inline valve? or something, but did not find pic showing where it connects to.

    as far as i can tell the hose that goes to the boost sensor is off the back of the top section of the intake.

    as far as the Drawings you keep referring to, where can one get those?

  9. alright, so some came from Nissan, wide open like this, or was there a plate there originally?

    so I can put a plate over this opening, and it wont or currently effect anything by not having it connected or open/closed?

    and I would assume the Air con condenser fan will have to be connected in order for the a/c system to function correctly, I would assume its controlled by a temp sensor or such, I will look to see if hopefully its just been unplugged and I can track it down, other wise where does it wire to?
