I have a minor problem with my r33 gtst. Basically when I push the cutch in the revs will drop as normal but then hover around 1200rpm for a few seconds before dropping to the idle rpm. Its not really causing any dramas but I am unsure if this is normal or wat. Do these engines somes kind idle speed control solenoid? Anyone else had any similar problems or any suggestions as to what could be at fault here. I have recently cleaned the AAC valve and the throttle body and reset the computer and did not make any difference.

Cheers in advance

Depending on your model R33 (pretty sure its series dependent) there is an idle adjustment knob on the back of the ECU. There will be an idle adjustment screw on the AAC (turn left to increase rpm, right to decrease) aswell.

Have a look at the AAC cleaning tutorial for info on how to set the two correctly.

Locating the cause and fixing it i have no idea about :)

I know on RB26, there are a few little adjustment screws on the butterfly's(Uh!!). I ripped mine out, but I an using aftermarket ECU.

that way all the "Flaps are shut as far as, then I just used the master one on the throttle cable mount to regulate it so the ECU could get a grip with it all again.

It worked..!

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
