Hey guys

car is still going strong and having fun. Paying for fuel hasnt been though.

I have solved majority of my fluctuating idle issue that i have had.

The problem being that my AFM was situated fairly close to the turbo which air coming from the turbo was disturbing the afm.

with some heavy duty truck induction hose from castrol diesel parts and twists and turns between the turbo and afm has solved the problem.

I still have a slight issue with the idle fluctuating minimally ( only for like 5 secs when idling after driving), possibly be the IAC which i am going to look at and clean.

I will get stainless steel pipe made up later so it will look alot better and maybe not so hard on the bends.

Sweet, you found a way round the issue!

That push on turbo coolant hose gets a little hot though doesn't it.

That car would be a hoot to drive :0

EDIT: is that the stock charcoal cannister?

you should be able to tune it out easy with the PFC, so you can ditch that bendy rubber hose.

How do you go by tuning it out with the power fc URAS? Im having the same problem with my car which has very similar setup. I thought the problem could be reduced with the power fc but i was told otherwise by a mechanic.

to tune it out of the PFC, (from what i have read) is to find the key load points when the idle is fluctuating and to halve the values.

It also said to make sure the valves dont go under 5, as then it wont run properly.

I didn't choose to go this route as through different sources i read this from, it said it was only a bandaid fix of the "FC Disease"

other people recommended to buy HKS EIDS to help with the idle, or to swap the PFC for another aftermarket ECU that has built in map sensor.

But yeah i believe its just my IAC thats affecting my minimal idle issue now. But i had drove my car last night and gave it a fair bit, parked my car and the idle didn't miss a beat or didn't fluctuate. So i iwill keep an eye on it.

all problems were solved today, the AAC valve was pulled apart, cleaned then put back together. Car idled perfect.

Until me, my bro and a mate were crusing down to the coast when my plenum decided to warp at southport. Air was pissing out the side of the plenum where it joins to the runners. I had fun driving the car back home on 80kms on the m1. Surprisingly the car kept going and we made it.

Hopefully the manufacturer will be able to fix it for me, and put a bigger base plate on it. (not one that is 5mm thick)

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
