Just watch him around your car with tools!!!

You may well be on your home and discover your sway bars and various other pieces are missing!

I was thinking that but I thought I would cut him some slack. LOL

That was nice of you!

Jet's dump pipe arrived, woo hoo!

Glad to hear that you problem is now sorted.

My car was doing similar things. The only mistake I did was had 2 things done at once. TB cleaned and TPS reset. I don't know which solved the problem but my car idles a bit fast at around 775 - 825.

I wish I could get it down. I might do the TB clean this weekend if I get a chance.

The inlaws are visiting over the weekend this sounds like a great reason to be working on the car. LOL

Yeah I actually cleaned the AFM as well - but i've done that on its own before and it never fixed the problem - however it probably helped in its own way.

My car does now idle at 650 on the dot when its warm, but when cold its slightly higher - around 800-900rpm. When I turn the car on when its cold, it initially revs at 1500rpm now before settling down to around 800rpm. Weird. I thought the idle air learning would fix that but it seems not.

Not sure if its a problem - like I said it drops to 800rpm quickly and then as it warms up that drops further to 650. After that its all fine, car is driving like new!! Yes I'm excited - this problem has been annoying me since I got the car.

yeh mine does this as well....and that's with new plugs and the TB cleaned...sounds normal.

i should confirm that mine idles high on a cold start, and then around 600-800 on warm idle. the longer i sit at idle, the lower the RPM goes. mines been as low as 500 (from the tacho) but who knows what it really might be :D

I have been thought this whole process and each time I have successful reset each of the the 3 options and I manage to get the car to idle at 750rpm. A little higher than i would like but not too bad.

The problem I have is that each time I turn the car off the idle learning seems to get lost and the car goes back to idling at 900rpm. It is like the computer is losing power and resetting without the memory of what I just set.

I am aware that my ignition barrel seems to have a bit of dodgy connection as if I bump the key back a little all the accessories turn off. this is easily fixed with a wiggle of the key.

Is it possible that this connection is causing this problem or does anyone have any other suggestions?

Cheers

Hi Andy,

Im having the same problems too.... not sure if we should call it a problem,

after aI have put new plugs and cleaned the TB, my idle has been raised to 900-1000rpm no matter how many times i reset the 3 options,

it only idle at 650 spot on when Im in D with the brakes on ( waiting at the nights )

I think maybe we should have a small meetup so we can see the others or try to do everything again together!

as I always belive more people have more brain and more idea...

David

mine idles fine

andy could be onto something, it might override the idle setting till you swich off the ignition. its possible its never 'written' to the ECU. it may only be possible via the consult..........

I am going to test a ODB2 cable tonight to see if I can read the computer, maybe this will give me some clues.

I will also see the Auto Electrician to see if he can fix the error in the key barrel. See if this helps.

So are we having a mini meet at "F&cuk for Parts" guy this weekend? :D
rofl, its already done mate. you missed out! haha

lol, i take it someone is frustrated??

not u iain, we all already know about you and your frustrations :)

This sounds normal to me. It will always idle high when cold etc. The important thing is that you do the idle air learning when the car is fully warmed up - so go for at least a 10 minute drive and then do the idle air learning straight after that.

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
