hey ppls

for the last few months when my cars idling on a cold start it sits at like 600rpm.. if you start to drive or just touch the throttle it revs fine but then drops to about 300-400 then back to 600. after about 2 mins when the temp gauge has moved up about half a cm its fine and the revs sit on 750rpm or so and dont bounce around.

hmm come to think of it when the car is cold shouldnt it sit on like 1000-1200rpm or something higher like that ? anyways i had the bouncing idle problem (but when the car was warm, not cold) a while ago and i cleaned the aac valve and that fixed that up, but im not to sure what to try clean now.. ? I was searching and theres some cold start valve or something ?? where abouts is that ?? is that the same as the air regulator ?? i had a look in the workshop manual, i couldnt see it on my actual car though.. anyone got any pics or any other ideas what it might be ??

thanks :whistling:

i started the car just now to have a look. I drove about an hour ago so the car is still hot, but the needle is about 0.8cm above the bottom and the pfc rekons its about 63degrees. The middle which it always sits on after about 5 mins of driving is about 84..85 degrees so i think thats working fine like it always has.

but ya the idle is fine now cause the car is already warmed up a little bit..

Have you had the PFC programmed / tuned for "cold start"? Maybe it needs a bit more fuel or timing when it's cold.

BTW, I don't see anything in your initial post that mentions you have a PFC - such information would be most useful.

I've got the same sorta problem, wheres acc valve, u said before...

"a while ago and i cleaned the aac valve and that fixed that up"?

I also have the pfc but even when my car warms up i still got the problem not really bouncing but drops low and sometimes stalls, but if i ease the clutch in its ok as apose to "stomping it in" when im rolling up to lights, driveways etc but the revs are sometimes ok and sometimes low...

ya i found the little barstard the other day.. looks impossible to get out though, all i can see is like 1 bolt :P

it could be the iac valve. the aac valve is what always gets cleaned. the iac is down under the intake plenum. (i think thats why not many people clean it) from what i know of it, it controls the idle air for cold start.

Yeah does sound like AAC Valve, it bleeds more air into the secondary air system to bring up the revs when cold. Have to get it apart and clean it out. Also inspect the tension of the spring.

You can't (and don't need to) clean the IAC (Cold Start Air) valve. It is not operated by a servo-motor, as the AAC (Auxilliary Air Control) valve is. It is a simple bi-metallic strip, heated by electric current - as it warms up, it causes a plate to cover the air bleed hole.

If it has any sort of problem, it may be that it is not fully uncovering the hole when it cools.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
