hey guys,

upon inspecting the engine bay the other day i found this:

(sorry for the shitty phone cam pic)

post-39016-1253179242_thumb.jpg

the white/grey plug is disconnected and appears to lead to the aac valve

Is this done for a reason?

i connected it to see what happens and the idle goes all over the shop

should also note that at the moment when the a/c is on idle is a bit wonky (ie: when coming to a stop revs drop down to 500/600ish rpm and car almost dies, will also do this randomly when stopped at lights etc)

not sure if thats related at all?

car is automatic r34 gtt, 98 model

any ideas?

Cheers

It's possible been disconnected, because it's causing the ruff idle? Try taking it off and giving a good clean out. I've done this with r32's and it's helped clean up the idle. presume 34's are the same.

P.s. I'm having issues with my r34, and need to get hold of a tip 34. Could you do me a major favour. On the side of your intake there's 3 plugs, red black and silver. could you unplug the silver, and try start it? Would really appreciate if you could. understand if you don't want to. Thanks.

thanks mate,

i tried what you asked (disconnected grey plug) starts up first go and idles fine.

Edit: ok scrap that.

took aac valve off cleaned it out, put it back on and connected it.

it started idling at 2000rpm and i went "oh no"

then i screwed in the idle screw just a little and it dropped all the way down to 1100rpm

fine tuned it down to 800rpm and all is good (air con works fine etc)

i have the same problem stenve,

i just havent taken mine out to clean it yet.

ill be doing it tomorrow so hopefully it solves my problem too.

when started and car is cold, does your car idle funny or only when warm or all the time?

it idled fine with the aac disconnected. it just didnt compensate for things like ac when sitting idle at lights etc.

I only tried starting the car once with it plugged in and i cant remember if it was a cold start or what... but the revs were all over the place.

car is cooling down now. i'll go start it from cold again later and see what happens now its all clean. it seemed perfect when i checked it just before though

yeap cool, im pretty sure this is the problem on mine

cause i drove it for like a month with it disconneted, i didnt even know until i serviced the car and i noticed it.

pluged it back in and car idled lumpy and crap so i dc it, and idled fine but it would stall randomly when coming to a stop.

its connected back up now, but on cold start it idles funny but ok when warm, i had to play around with it to get it idling ok, not perfect tho.

Good to hear you got idle under control. Thanks very much for doing that check for me, although wasn't the answer I was looking for. I couldn't ask one more favour? Could you identify the colour of the wires that plug into it (not the engine loom side) And where they run too? A picture would be perfect, but again, mite be stretching ya a bit far. Sorry to ask of you again. Thanks

yeah mines still not idling perfect either, when in neutral its spot on 750rpm and stays there. put it in drive and it goes up and down a bit, esp with the ac on.

gave it a cold start this morning and the revs sit at about 1200rpm for a minute or 2 then drop down to normal.

might need a little fine tuning still, but it's alot better than before.

Mawzy: i'll try have a look sometime today. but its about a 11ty billion degrees outside. see how i go

:) This may be a bit of help if you've cleaned out you're AAC valve thingo (R34GTT)

double clic to enlarge then double click again to supersize

I think if you have a big zorst and/or pod you may find that even when set it'll still run a bit over the OE 650/700 rpm set level.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
