Hello all..

I start my car in the morning to see it sit at 950 to 1000rpm...temp outside s 20oc.(RB26)

It was previously after idling for 15 to 20 seconds decides it needs to warm and idles higher over 1200rPM.

This has gotten worse and in the mornings now it just sits at 950 to 1000RPM.

Can a water temp. sensor be at blame...do these die slowly....or is it something else?

Can I replace it myself or does the motor have to come out..lol

Any help will be appreciated.

Ordinarily, when the water temp sensor dies, the car still has good cold start but runs ultra rich at operating temp (ECU thinks the engine is still cold, and overfuels).

Poor cold start could be the Cold Start (Air) Valve.

I've heard the opposite about water temp sensor, that the car drives fine when warm but like an absolute dog when it's cold. maybe there are 2 failure modes.

GTR? yeah motor out job mate.. you gotta pull the motor out to do anything on a GTR :banana:

I have been told that....even if the revs are at 950 when cold..more fuel is being delivered,,,could this be normal...

The car is not missing or stalling at this rev..

I cleaned the pod filters last time and the start was healthy...1500rpm...but this went back again to the same revs after a few weeks......

Might try this again...

I am using a power fc...can anyone tell me what the figures should be in the idle/temp.area of the program and also the

acc....off and on ....

:banana:

      R-chassis INNER tie rod torque spec?

      By hardsteppa · Posted

      Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.

      gauge needle removal

      By JC71 · Posted

      I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.

      Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds

      Assuming that they will come off without damage at all.... i would have thought just pull straight up off the spindle with a something or other than can reach underneath. Have you searched for youtube vids of people doing similar on R34s or any other Nissan from the same vintage? They should be the same technique, in all likelihhood.

      Wheel refurb?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Keeping in mind that sandblasting is really aggressive on softer metals like cast alloy, and you can do damage that you might regret. For trash wheels, not a problem. For wheels with value/scarcity issues, etc.... perhaps a less aggressive media is a better choice?
