Hi

I just rang a perfomance place and was asking a couple of questions regarding my high idle problem (R32 GTR) and I had told them that I had pulled apart the throttle bodies and removed the butterflies from them to be cleaned. Then they told me that to put the butterflies back in there is a long procedure that is outlined in the GTR manual. I cant find this in the manual and I have done a search in google and in skylines australia (using: throttle, butterflies, gtr throttle etc) and there is no mention of this anywhere.

Can anyone verify that this procedure exsists and if so where can I find it?

Thanks

have you checked and cleaned all your idle control valves?

there is one that mixes the air specifically for idle ( well I am only basing that knowledge on the sr20det motors , but presume the same would apply. )

why not just mark everything before you take it apart - with one of those white marker pens so you can ensure alignment etc is A-OK on reassembly

you can run into problems when removing butterflies from the intake. to the best of my knowledge there is a thing coating on the intake runners that helps them seal which is slowly worn away (could be wrong about this, as I've never been able to pick it myself). also, there are seals on the sides where the rods are and these are hard (impossible?) to source and replace. if they are leaking you will have high idle. also when re-installing the throttles to the intake you need new gaskets and may even need to have the mating surfaces 'faced'.

^^^ yeah its a fun job. luckily after a few times you learn the tricks.... the first one i did back a the barn in SA took me a fair while and many skun fingers :rolleyes:

Cats car had the same issues, i had the lot hot tanked and re-assembled the lot using metal gaskets and hylomar spray..... fixed it beautifully. the setting precedure is 100% in the manual as i downloaded it off this forum :thumbsup:

if yuo give me your email i will send the pages through.

edit: email sent as i cant upload PDF from here at work.

gucia i had the same problem after i cleaned the throttles.

when i cleaned them i removed the butterflies on 1 of the throttles.

when i put them back in i didnt check to see wether i could see light through the throttles.and there for had a high idle ie.1300-1400

disconnect your throttle rods and make sure the throttle levers are hitting the bumpstop.

cheers

ps.it is a absolute mongrel of a job to remove the plenum to get the throttles back out

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
