hey guys i have an 97 stagea and im wonderig what the norm is for idleing on the highway? at around 100 to 110ks mine sits on 3 grand.... just seems to high.... feels like the auto needs to drop back.

have had it to the auto shop and hooked it up to the scanners. everythings doing what it is supposed to. was told that it could be the tps switch that might need adjusting. adjusted it in increments to no success. weird thing is it has an open centre in it?? thought it would run an lsd???

any other ideas.???

also the 4wd doesent work. havent even looked into this problem yet. where do i start????

do a search in the general automotive section, I remember seeing a DIY in there about reseting idle and it had something to do with an air bleed on the plennum.

Mine (was) at 2500 - 2600 at 100kph and I have 17" on 45 series and a stock as a rock auto.

thats a real worry - has the attessa pump got any fluid in it?

It may just need bleeding, but I would have a close look at it if I were you. Running the pump and/or transfer case dry (if that is the problem) can get very expensive. Usually, the only way to get a stagea to run in RWD only is to drop the front driveshaft out - the old "just pull the 4WD fuse" doesn't really work and can actually cause damage if left like that.

Mines auto and sits just on 2500. Worked out it does just on 40k/1000 when the converter is locked up. Am running 17"

225/50/17 Federal595'

Just a further on this.

I got wacked twice for "exceeding the speed limit" but concluded the checking methods were suss. No charges.

I run a general rule, 10, 20, 30, 40 kph/1000rpm in 1st, 2nd 3rd OD. Around the Mountain (town) I now popthe OD to OFF.

Keep to 2000 and no dramas. Thats what I do.

It is interesting to see that there is quite a difference between various owners. you would have to check on the final drive ratio

and the actual diameter of your wheels to see exactly where each vehiclewas at. And if auto that the converter actually does lock up.

My old RMR30 (used to) did 50k/1000, locked up. Couldn't get her started for her final triptoday. I think she knew.

She used to peak about 4250. But the RMR30 were a very slippery vehicle and had one of the lowest coefficients of drag

factors of most cars of its time. It is what made them fast, not quick, fast.

So there are a lot of factors that govern the revs/km. All aspects have to be taken into consideration.

Owning a NIssan is such fun. I have five. Well four after today.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
