Rb25 Vct Question, And Thermostat Question

hey guys,

ok so first, got my rb25 running in my r32 today, on cold start it idles at 1000rpm then on hot it idles at 500rpm but if i rev it and let it drop it will stall, so to adjust that do i just wind out that thing with a brown plug? under the purple acc valve? i had to replace it as the brown plug was broken so i just wound it all the way in,

also with this as i put the revs up a bit with the accel cable, as soon as i move the tb a tiny bit i can hear a lil click? is that the vct? im guessing it is but if any1 can run out to there 25 and start it and test this? if not what could it be?

Then with the thermostat, i had to change some welsh plugs on the thermostat side so i took the thermostat out, when i started the engine today i let it heat up, (left both bleed valve screw in and radiator cap) as i wanted to see if i fixed the welsh plug, didnt want coolant going around the welsh plugs i replaced,

so the temp hit 90 on my defi gauge (sensor is in top pipe) so is either my thermo stat gone? or is it because of air lock that it didnt open up?

o also while im at it,

could i get part numbers for:

thermstat (if i need 1)

Ps belt (series 2 stagea motor) (3PK belt)

i think thats it, any info would be good thanks,

Cheers JV

with engine warm you need to disconnect the tps sensor and adjust idle screw at back of iac assembly to 600rpm, then reconnect the tps and idle should be correct.

that is the basic run down, i have posted full procedures in the past.

only on the early rb engines you disconnect aac valve plug, rb25det is different procedure.

also the nvct is activated/advanced off idle, so yes the clicking will be the nvct solenoid.

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.

      Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.

      Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
