Hi, im building a RB30/26DETT with the RB26 intake manifold.

I've kept the IAA/AAC valve unit from my RB25 and was thinking of using that instead of buying the whole rb26 unit.

Now i need help identifying a certain part, its placed on the hose running from the AAC unit to the intake also if its needed for it to work! I havent still got the RB25, sold it a while ago without thinking i neede anything else off of it :S

Hope you can help me with this, heres the part :P

that ones for cold start idle up. i think its called the IACV.

it basically just bypasses the throttle body to idle up when the motors cold. its also usually connected to something with coolant flow to warm the air up. yet on alot of SRs ive fiddles with ive removed the coolant related parts to eliminate hoses and havent had a problem yet.

tho if the RB26 uses one of these make sure you put one on lol, the RB25 one should be identical they look the same on about 10 different motors ive seen.

It provides additional intake air for cold start. It contains a "gate" connected to a bi-metal strip that is electrically heated (the plug on the LH end in pic). As it warms up, the "gate" closes, cutting off the additional intake air.

It would have been so much easier if you said that i could easily do without it :D Specially since im going to run ethanol and 1600cc's, sounds like i should be ready to get me one if its gives me a hazzle starting it cold :P

Thanks mate!

Guess ill be skipping this one if it only has to do with preheating the AAC since i want to keep the engine as 'bare' as possible :P

sorry if i wasnt clear, as stated above it allows air to bypass the throttle body to idle up the motor without additional throttle. it is needed for the car to run smoothely on cold start. yet the part which seems to have confused you is that some motors have a coolant line connected to it also, to warm it up, which IMO is not necessary. BUT the valve itself is.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
