Phillips head screwdriver. You just need to get one the right length.

the one in the picture is the old one i replaced and it was pretty tight wouldnt budge at all. But ill give it another go.

Remove the aac?

Its a pretty big job to remove the plenum to be able to get to the acc and remove that.

Besides i think it needs to be adjusted on the car so you can monitor the idle

You can get 90deg screwdrivers from repco/bunnings etc, might make it easier

thanks mate ill give that a go.

on my r33 intake I just simply put a screwdriver in it and turned it, what car/engine are you using ?

Is it a gtr rolls? because im running the rb26.

Guys just on O2 sensors - you don't really need em.

I drove to Syd & back with 340rwkw, 700kms to a tank and that was using no O2 sensors (just stayed off boost).

It's all in the tune for that type of thing (RE: O2/economy) and they certainly aren't required.

I took off my aac yesterday because it originally wasnt plugged in and when connected i was having high idle problems and the screw was stuck aswell.

This is in an r32gtr, there are 4 bolts holding the aac to the main body, all of them are fairly accesible and didnt require the intake plenum to be taken off. I was able to reach the bolts with a 10 or 12mm socket and have enough room to swing the ratchet. Taking off the attached line is a little harder as there's not much room and the clip can be a bitch to get a hold of.

From here i just put the body in a vice and used a phillips head attachment in my cordless drill with a high torque setting to slowly crack it.

In the end i ended up having the screw in most of the way anyway and found out that my pfc idle settings were set pretty high so i had a play with them and seems alot better but still not perfect (when i take my foot off the accelerator it drops down to 12000rpm and then slowly drops to 900rpm or so).

Spray some Wd40 on it first....The rubber seal locks it in there pretty good.... And you wont damage the rubber

Thanks mate I'll give it a go

What settings did you change exactly mate on the PFC?

Under SETTINGS --> REV/IDLE

F/C A/C - : changed to 1100 or so

Idle A/C - : changed to 890 or so

The other options are to do with when you have the air-con on, which i never do anyway so didnt really bother with them.

unplug the IAC if it doesnt drop then pull it off and undo the 4 screws - i had hunting and high idle issues for a very long time and finally decided to pull the thing apart

turns out the tensioner spring inside the valve had broken, replaced it and perfect idle first start.

I'd even argue you will get better economy without the O2 sensor if tuned appropriately as you can tune leaner than stoich.

    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
    • It's TWO steering wheels actually. 😛 one for each hand They are wheels, and they steer!
