Has anybody had issues with RB26 throttles not sealing. I'm having problems reducing idle speed below around 1500rpm with the bypass screw wound right in and then timing being set to 10btdc cam timing factory setting - I know its not a tune issue. I have used all new std gaskets and know there is no vacuum leaks. I have pulled the throttle bodies off to find that they have been cleaned up. Now apparently there is a sealing film that they use from factory and it may have been rubbed off. Does anybody know how to seal them or are they now a throw-away item?

did u ever think ur iac (idle air control) motor is gettin stuck on sum carbon and not sealing off enough to slow the idle?

I have checked that it works electrically but I didn't check if it was gummed up - 1000rpm from closed to full duty seems about right to me. You can physically see large clearances around the throttle plates.

Did you machine or linish or die grind with a pad any of the old gasket off?

If theres big gaps in the plates then u gotta fix that first. If the AAC is playing up just block the hose going to it, its sounds dodgy but works fine without the stepup, but I dont know about when you turn the a/c on. Could really drag the idle down. Thats if the a/c works...

But you can get it idling good without the sealant gunk. I cleaned mine clean as a whistle and have idle around 800 with AAC hose blocked because the AAC is shitted.

Yes, this will be the problem. I believe a bit of nail polish will do the trick.

I've heard thats what some people do but I just thought there is a genuine fix - what is the film that they use from factory? Besides I wouldn't know which color to use :banana: !

      Chips/Dents in wheels

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      that's pretty good condition, those chips are nothing. Get a mobile repairer to sort it out. Nice wheels, I had white 17's on my GT-R once, looked nice.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So this evening I had a need to remove the rear compressor turbo pipe (long story, but I'm replacing it due to a bolt snapping off in the pipe and managing to then snap an extraction bit in the broken bolt, fun times -_-). The rear bolt is a bit of a bastard and very little room to get good leverage. I was able to get a 12 mm socket onto the bolt head, but none of my ratchets were able to fit, so I put together a "stubby" socket wrench to get it out and it worked surprisingly well 🙂. In the past I've "made" tools by cutting down spanners and bending them with a torch etc, but this 3D printed wrench was way less effort. I'll be keeping this one in my "special tool draw" from now on for sure ^_^b https://www.printables.com/model/868973-half-inch-stubby-socket-wrench

      Parts required for 4:11 diff gears in an R34 GTR Vspec (A-LSD)

      By djvoodoo · Posted

      It's good, but not as good as some people make it out to be on social media. Yes, you can feel the torque come in earlier, yes, it does make the car feel more lively below 4000rpm, and yes, it does feel more responsive, but it's not this 'unicorn' mod.  Everyday driving? Below 100km/h on Australian roads, it's worth it. At 110km in 6th gear mine will sit on about 2860rpm. Doing a Motorkhana or a small circuit? Yes, it's worth it. Doing Texas style speed runs? Prob not. Do you use the gears more? Yes and No. Doing 60/70km on most roads, I'm using the gears just like any other Getrag. 80km and above, you use 5th and 6th more often. Absolutely no issues driving with the 33 A-LSD. Didn't change the front diff, only changed the C&P wheel. Some people say to upgrade to a Quaife etc, but i've had no issue with torque steer or having it wander all over the road. The one thing that no-one really addresses is the issue of the Speedo being out. It's either use a speedo corrector, find a 33 gearbox speed sensor, or use an aftermarket display with GPS speedo.
