Well can confirm if you clean throttle plates and "bore" of throttle body with carby cleaner you will afterwards be able to see light past the edges of the throttle butterfly 100%

for the record this was the same with crc carby cleaner and motorquip carby cleaner

God I hope that tomei stuff I ordered this morning works

But you should be able to see light, the throttle plate should not contact the bore

Yeah had figured that 2 :rofl:

yet car ran and idled fine when chocked with carbon so you definitly couldnt

see any light???????????

The "bore " on mine is definitly looking silver now not black as in the posted pics

Just not wanting to risk problems on starting a fresh motor

:D:)

guess I may be panicking about nothing

checked the manual again to be sure and there is nothing in there about setting these

plenty on setting the other linkages with feeler gauges etc nothing on setting

the butterflys up though :D

Edited by noone

you can do a cleanup without any problems as long as you're sensible about it. most of the time the problems that people experrience are because the re-assembly may not have been done correctly, or there was a small thing that was overlooked.

link to the Tomei site showing application of Tomei throttle coat to the Butterflys

not to the bore of the throttle body at all

So went back down to the shed to check mine out

to find this on the exact same spot as in the pic on the Tomei site

Add to this the fact that I could barely blow any air down the supplementary air pipe

till I cleaned the throttle body bore where the butterfly contacts (well almost contacts) the bore

you can see said hole below and the pipe I am referring to is clearly visible in the Tomei pics

despite the pic it looks like this side didnt have the aprox. 6 -10 mm of coating the other side did

again exactly as per the tomei pics

If I hadnt of cleaned the throttle body bores I reckon this hole would of been so clogged as to have been almost useless

Huge thread Necro, will be cleaning my throttles and this thread has been a help. Quick question, how do you remove the butterfly shaft? Do I need a press to remove it and the bearings? Unfortunately whoever owned before me put copious amounts of liquid gasket under the end plates to try and seal them.  I have scraped it all back but trying to remove the butterfly shaft has been useless, it feels locked in. Don't want to brake it but I think if I can get it lined up in a press it should just press straight out correct? Thanks

Yeah mate, gotta press the shaft out, I did them on my 32 last year. I put a Reimax throttle refresh kit through it and new Nismo throttle springs, about a $300 exercise.

The Reimax kit is the only way to get those stupid plastic spring locator bits (they are always broken in most 26s I've seen) and shaft seals new. Nissan don't sell the bits as the throttles are not supposed to be disassembled - they are sold new as a complete unit.

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
