1. the lights behing the dash of the r33 are very dim... is there anyway to turn them up??... or do i have to replace the globes??

2. r33 diff... i was just wondering if anyone has anyidea of the price and problems with locking the lsd of the skyline for drift purposes??

3. my idle on my car is really low... and i have a microtech lt12 in her.... if i change the idle...will the adjust my tune at all??

With the idle thing - I don't think your tune should change. Changing the idle only involves increasing the standing rpm of the engine, so you should be fine ;) (Check the thread about Cleaning the AAC valve for RB25's under the DIY/FAQ section). Although, this may be overriden by the ECU?

On the stock ECU there is a small screw on the bottom to fine tune the idle. Be very delicate, it is easy to turn and has a max limit of 250rpm at max, change it manually -> just see the thread, don't take my word for it. :P

Good luck.

The dash lights could have an earthing problem if they are all dim, I had a few issues with the parkers that was an earthing problem.

That thread for shimming the diff explains it well.

Microtechs have a problem with cold running and aircon, I have decided mine sucks but I solved the low idle by using the adjustable part of the throttle cable to raise it, when I set it back after being told to, the lt12 or the ecu adjusted for it and now it idles high but doesnt stall at least. Check the thread for idle problems there are a few items that effect it.

1. Maybe the rheostat to adjust the brightness has been turned right down.

2. Can't help you.

3. Adjusting the idle will not affect the rest of the tune. If you are concerned about the richness, take it to someone who knows Microtechs and get them to tune it properly.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
