Guys

I fear I know the answer but the car has been idling all over the place and power has been down.

Tried the old aerostart trick and went over the IC and lines and finally got to the plenum.

A squirt of aerostart onto the plenum runners between 3 & 4 upped the revs noticably. 5 & 6 less.

I am guessing the plenum is leaking or is there some little line under the plenum that would be picking up the aerostart and incresing the revs.

Second if it is the plenum leaking and I need to drop the damned engine out to fix what else should I do while it is out - seals, throttle bodies???

I am already resigned to turbs, dumps and oil cooler but what else.

Help - all ideas appreciated.

Wayne, i replaced the intake manifold gaskets shortly after I got my GTR many many years ago and its a bitch to do with the engine in as you already seem to know.

If the motors coming out, do a major service including water and oil pumps, timing belt, idler bearing etc.

wat ever you do DO NOT clean the throttle bodies.

i rebuilt my motor and had a bad idling issues like 2300rpm, tried every thing new sensors iac aac you name it, went to nissan after all that and one of the young guys asked if i had cleaned my throttle bodies with carby cleaner (which i had) and told me i need to replace them.

so i did... all fixed.

wat a pain in the ass. spent 2 months with it doing that.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.  
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
