On the series 1 rb25det. I'm looking for the cold start valve, or whatever its called.

The reason is that the first start of the day always falls short of 1krpm, then drops for a couple of seconds till it stalls. The slightest touch on the accelerator brings it to its normal 1200rpm idle.

Any other start of the day is fine. Ive cleaned the AAC valve, but it made no difference. My idle was stable anyway.

I'm guessing this must be the culprit.

So, is this what i'm looking for? The hose you see connected to it from the right comes from the bottom of the AAC valve.

It's located under the forward side of the intake manifold. And how the hell do you get the fkr out?

yes that is it. it will be open different amounts at different temps. at 20 degrees it should be open half way. over 60 degrees it should be fully shut.

if you pull it out and connect it up to your battery it should slowly open within a few minutes.

Kewl, i shall try this on the drift pig. It may solve the same problem that im having with it at the moment. It also doesnt like cold starts and is a pig to get going when dead cold.

    • There are black hose clamps as well if you care. Plazmaman for example sells some: https://plazmaman.com/product/black-hose-clamps-premium-quality-stainless-breeze/
    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
