hey guys i am not too familar with skylines yet, just bought an r32 but i would like some help. My idle is crappy, like in the mornings it hates starting and wen it does start it stays at very low revs and u have to keep ur foot on the gas for a little bit for it to stay running then it will go no worries wen it fires up properly. Someone suggested re-setting the idle motor. I know theres a process u have to go through to do that? would anyone be able to help with that? any help would be appreciated.

This is common in r32's and skylines in general, if your not too engine savvy just take it to a mechanic and raise the idle, if the idle like 500rpm or below they splutter and jump around all over the place. Mine never used to be good but i got it raised to 700rpm and its much better. Another common reason they can idle like shit is the aac valve being dirty etc. If it is removed and thoroughly cleaned/greased etc and is like new it always helps the idle.

Hope that helps.

yeah it seems to be a common thing, shouldn't the idle be up wen its cold anyway coz mine isn't?? and i have been told its bad for the car if u try and start it with accelerator, its telling the ecu to put fuel in wen its not actually going, so they said u should not touch accelerator wen starting ecu cars....

The word is WHEN FFS!

Now, back to your problem - check the Cold Start Air Valve, which is the torpedo sort of thing just underneath the throttle body. It is possibly jammed either open or shut (can't recall it's position at cold start).

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
