Hey guys.

Would just like a few pointers in regards to my RB26's idle hiking all over the place.

It went from dropping up and down between 1000rpm - 1300rpm, but now it's sitting as high as 2000rpm :thumbsup:

Is it most likely to be a vacuum leak? And what are the detrimental effects of this, besides raping fuel when stationary?

Youtube vid here, sound is a bit shitty (muffled by dash surround and noisy engine fan!). Your help's appreciated!

vaccum test your map sensor, cos it might not be holding the manifold pressure properly, hook it up to her see if she holds pressure if she dosnt theres your problem

ull also want to check how good your spark/fuel and timing

just a couple thoughts for you :thumbsup:

Hey guys,

I cleaned the AFMs, but this did not help.

I've noticed a sssssssssssssssss sound coming from engine bay near the drivers side - it has also started to become more difficult to select 1st/Reverse - would I be correct in saying that this is most likely a vacuum leak around the clutch slave cylinder somewhere?

Vacuum leak definitely, check the black box on the firewall, the line to it is probably split at it, or at the other end, behind the balance tube. Though it won't explain the hard gearchange though.

    • 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?
