Hey guys,

car's been running fine (although idle aways sat up at 1000 :happy:) anyway today driving to work I got a few kilometers down the road and pulled up to some lights and the idle dropped down to 1500 or so instead of the usual 1000. For the rest of the trip it stayed at 1500 idle. When I drove back home this afternoon it started up and idled fine however again after the car warmed up the idle went back to 1500. Any ideas?

So you start the car of a morning, and it idles at 1000RPM when cold.

THEN

Once warm it USED to idle around 750RPM? but now it's idling at around 1500RPM?

By the sounds of things, as the metals are warming up, they're expanding, which can usually BLOCK air leaks, but it might be causing one for you.

Check for vac leaks.

Couple of things.

1)TPS not set correectly, i assume GTRs have them aswell

2)Water temp sensor bugared

3)Cold Start Valve not closing

4)First Idle Controll Device, FICD, solenoid, not working (as is the case in my car)

5)A vacuume leak somewhere.

Yeah I thought it was the throttles however by reving the car around a bitter and playing with the throttle nothing seems to be wrong, futher the idle is very reliable at 1500. It hasn't been a progressive change.. it just happened yesterday while driving.

    • This sounds like someone who would have owned an R33 in their past... It's okay, I'm 100% picking up what you're putting down Mark.
    • Just back on what was raised about jacking off the the tow/tie down point on the front of cars. I've used it plenty. I've also watched it on a car where you could see it move the front end of the car. It was like the front end/whole car being tweaked and twisted a bit. I will say, I struggle to find good jacking points on MOST cars. The ones that have good points, I then normally struggle to find a jack tall enough to make the car change height!   One of my go to points for either the jack, or the axel stands though, is either a suspension pickup point, OR a subframe to chassis major bolting point. I actually think its the subframe on my R33 that has a bit of a bend in it, from being jacked in the middle too. However, it could have been one of my many other cars I've had over the years! Or it could also be the from me jacking it up, and the fact the top of the front radiator support isn't there, so it can allow the front of the car to move and bend etc.
    • My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.
    • Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway  
    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
