bring it to the workshop near ur place. if u in mt gravatt i knw a good mechanic around there which is near the JB HIFI. i used to work there. is locate in front of the pool n snooker shop. if u knw where.

Did u check the coil packs see is it burn ? i think i had tis kind of problem before in my work place's customer's car. but is R33. yea i just hate the hicas light alway on and off.

but , if is about the idle. pull the coil packs n check whether is burn or not. if im not wrong one of my customer's car had tis problem. we check all the sensors n nothing wrong with it and end up is the intake pipe which is from air filter to the turbo pipe. The reason of the pipe is because of the heat make the pipe get softer n when u the pipe will b squire. Im not sure if is the same problem i had in customer's car.

Just bring it to the mechanic near the JB HIFI area. i already lost his phone number and forget what's the workshop call.

Good luck

Thanks halo,

Yeah thanks to alot of people who have given me some great opinions guys..... thankyou alot.

I think im gonna start by tracing these wires in the steering column and make sure there all connected up and not cut / faulty. I have no resivor in my 32 at the back so im guessing my hicas fluid is from the PS resivor which is full.

As for the idle im going to first clean the AAC valve and reset the base idle etc, change fuel filter and then if its still the same, take the coils out and check them thoroughly and maybe also cover them in industrial grade silicon just incase there starting to arc out.

I think the connectors for the plugs that connect to the coil packs are rooted as the little plastic insides have crumbled up? has that happened to anyone else yet?

Do i just hunt for a 2nd hand set of leads/wires with the connectors on? or can u buy those plastic bits new from nissan?

Also picking up a 2nd hand speedo as mine has split the plastic housing at the back and causes the speedometer to jerk about sometimes and plus the odometer has stopped working :S

Thanks guys for all the advice and help.....

Its great to know i can always ask the SAU family for some help

Cheers BOOSTA (pete)

try getting your injectors cleaned and see if it makes any difference, my r32 was doing the same thing - drives fine idles shit, when i got the injectors cleaned it fixed it. could also be the coolant temp sensor, the car thinks its cold all the time so its always running rich, might be worth changing, theyre pretty cheap.

Hey Guys,

Thanks so much to all who have replied, i have quite a good list of things to start checking over and one by one will knock them off the list.

I dont know what i'd of done if it wasnt for the help from SAU, Does anyone know a good way to check out cooler piping to see if its leaking air anywhere? Because my standard bov is bloody loud, sounds like a turbosmart atmo vent one even tho its plumbed back ?....

THANKYOU !!!

My List to check......

1. AAC valve and assembly (including clean out and idle reset)

2. Connect Wires in steering column and check over. (hicas checkover)

3. Replace Fuel Filter and check out old one.

4. Check over Coil Packs and also cover in industrial silicone

5. Check and possibly replace coolant temp sensor.

6. Check AFM and Oxy Sensor for correct readings.

7. Check Injectors and clean if needed.

8. Check all intercooler piping for possible air leak... as i think thats where the backfire problem is occuring !!!!

I put money on it that it is your ECU.

There is a series of actions you can perform to reset your ECU to factory settings. Do a search you should be able to find it.

If not let me know as I can find out.

if u wanna reset it, just unhook your battery and pump the brake pedal a few times.

i suggest taking the car to a workshop, they will find the problem alot quicker and easier than you will. charlies at wooloongabba know skylines very well, they deal with alot of them. im sure they will sort your problem out very quickly.

on the bov issue, u might find its stuck shut (if they can do that) the noise you are probably hearing is the flutter noise the air makes as it comes back out the compressor wheel of the turbo. try sourcing a new stock bov, it will most probably fix that.

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.

      Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.

      Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:

      Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"

      But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
