hi,

my mate took off my rocker covers and painted them for a Christmas present but when we took off the intake pipe we noticed my throttle body was putrid so we took off the throttle body and the plenum plus the aac valve and gave it a very good clean.

we put it all back together but now my car revs at 1200-1300rpm even when the car is fully warmed up,it used to rev at 800rpm.

any ideas? any help to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated.

thanks.

Ive done what the guides told me,i warmed the car up and took off the brown plug that's connected to the aac valve and rotated the idle screw clockwise to decrease my idle but it only decreased by a fraction then i reconnected the plug.

in the thread it said to aim for 900rpm before reconnecting the brown plug but my car only went down to 1000rpm even with the idle screw nearly all the way in.

i even tried doing it how it said to in the other thread with disconnecting the TPS plug but ended with the same result.

so its at 1000rpm which is better then 1200-1300rpm.

but still shouldn't it go back to 800-850rpm where it was normally? i just don't know why it wouldn't go below 1000rpm?

any thoughts? last thing i want is to take it to a mechanic to charge me a fortune.

also i haven't messed with the idle screw on the ecu yet.

When my engine was re-built the builder clean my throttles. GTR throttles have a teflon coating which after many years of wear, plus the cleaning, no longer seal 100% hence the high idle. The carbon build up was probably sealing the throttle with its body. My idle screw is adjusted as far as it will go and the natural idle is 1400! but it's managed back to 1100 with the PowerFC. Not great but better than 1400. You can re-coat the throttle blades but this is (for me) a pain and expensive, so high idle it is....

That's my experience.

You have an air leak.

You've most likely broken the gasket either between plenum and AAC valve, or the TB and plenum, or you haven't reconnected a pipe properly.

Listen VERY closely for air leaks in whilst it's running, and use your hand to feel for them too.

perhaps i am misinterpreting what you write.

but i do not like the way you wrote that.

what exactly did you mean?

yes...I think you have.

I am sorry if I offended you....this is not what I am here for. (ie.to offend)

The '+1' was referring to more ideas from fellow members for the user with the rev/idle issue.

I still believe it's air/vac related......(but want to know what it actually is!)...that's why I've asked for 'updates'.

I have put you down as a friend, I hope you reciprocate?

i will check for an air leak but they are really hard to find because of the fan and the noise of the engine,i might have to take the plenum back off to make sure he put the gasket on properly.

any success with this issue mate?...updates?

i had a look around the plenum and intake pipes but there is that much air being blown around its nearly impossible to feel or hear for an air leak.

i had a listen at the back of the plenum and engine and there is a hissing noise but i don't know if that noise has always been there.

any ideas???

i think your right,i just read on a site cant remember what its called something bout skylines & GTR owners but there was a topic basically the same as mine and alot of them have the same problem after cleaning their throttle and plenum.

they say there is a seal which was covered with shit & they cleaned it but didn't realize they were cleaning off the seal as well and when put back together = in 1200rpm+ even with the idle screw all the way in.

did you know how much it will cost to fix? is it really expensive?

1. cut 3 ft of garden hose from the side of you house (or neighbors).

2. stick one end in your ear and use the other end to source the leak sound!

you now have a budget stethoscope ;-) i actually learnt this when i was an apprentice mechanic for jaguar lol...

god damn it!!!

my GTR has always idled high as - 1300-1400, tried everything. just got a powerFC and was hoping it helped the idle :( negative lol.

my tuner said he had expended every option except checking the throttle bodies for the coatings.

he also said the to get the idle back down to normal 800~ it would be expensive as!

its at about 1100 now but with my powerfc it hunts a fair bit. it will have to do lol

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
