hey guys.... running an r33 93'.. just have a few questions and thought id bung em into one post

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??

sorry to put things so straight forward.... but any help would be awsome... cause i forgret to ask these things but everytime i et into my car...they pop into my head,... thanx tonnes

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.

ay mate

i have the same car and ecu the 12, do you seam to have a rich running engine, like a black smeer near ur exhuast, im getting lots of ppl telling me its my ecu, jst thought be good to ask ppl with same car

sry cant help with ur questions tho

YEAH!!!!!!..... THE ECU RUNS HELLL RICH.... IVE DECIDED.. I HATE MICROTECH...THEY ARE JUNK.. I JUST WANT A POWER FC!!..... would i get more power out of one??

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 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.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
