Another job I've had to tackle was my idle control valving (AAC bullshit). I've converted to a Plazmaman inlet manifold and the latest version has a seperate adaptor plate that does not bolt to the bottom as per the earlier versions. Initally I was pissed off because it made it very hard to plumb all the hoses and electrical connections. I'd actually cable tied it to the firewall but it looked very ugly.

After speaking to Mark at Unigroup Engineering it turns out he was the one that told them to do it. With the older version you cannot adjust the idle without removing the AAC,,,how dumb is that. So after a lot of thought I came up with this.

I got Duncan to extend the sets of 2 wires, I made the bracket, bought some hoses from supercheap and removed the redundant rear wiper control unit.

It might be worth a trial run to delete the valve altogether. See if it can idle reasonably stable without the clutter. Race car. No a/c and presuming it's not being run with electrical loads from headlights etc.

Mine is blanked off at the moment as i killed 2 of them in the last year (one due to a broken engine mount though)... Idle is a bit ordinary but should come good with a quick tune up from JEM

It's a path I'm heading down. Simple is good. Provided it doesn't hunt really badly and stall.

Can confirm mine doesnt stall :)

It may sounds like a tractor at times though haha

I gotta tell you that I'm very very happy with them,,,for a race car they are perfect as they clear the roll cage intrusion bars beautifully. Michael did a great job. I attempted 3 times at making my own and I made crap. That all said they are not show car perfect but I never expected them to be. They cost me $430 excluding freight.

You don't happen to have the phone number to the place that made them by any chance? I wanna order some for my car.

I had spoken to Yavuz of UNIGROUP fame about removing all the AAC valving crap and got a reply of "Please Neil we are having enough trouble controlling your off throttle stalling problems while you are using that stupid atmo blowoff valve as it is, go to a plumb back one and we can do something". So for the moment I'll keep what I have and when the time comes for an engine re-build I'll go with removing all that complicated non race car shit. You 2 are right,,,simple is great as there are way to many hoses that are a potential issue.

I am running this turbosmart one by the way.

Sell power fc

Buy something that has more power than. Commodore 64 and can run a engine

Stall issue fixed

I'm confused bitch,,, GM didn't make commodores in 1964,,,a quick google search says it was an EH Holden,,,should I plonk my drivetrain into one of those?.

The atmo BOV is a tuning nightmare on a RB engine so we went for the plumb back version of the same BOV.

Yuvuz was much happier and we have had no idle problems since he tuned it.

So on the weekend I thought I would finish removing as much weight out of the passenger door as possible. I still needed to keep some sort of structure so my window and locking stuff still worked properly. So that equates to a total removal of 3kg,,,nice,,,next weekend I'll attack the drivers door,,,a 6kg total loss in my eyes is fantastic.

I bought this tool from Hare & Forbes at their sale 2 weekends ago and I had a problem with the 1st one,,,it only did 10 holes before the hydraulic ram gave up the ghost. A quick phone call and a new one was waiting for me when I turned up on Saturday. Great service indeed,,,, I could have bought one off ebay but for the extra money their service was impeccable. It cost me $229,,,usually it's $275.

The 2nd one has cut 120 holes and loving it.

jenna says you should buy a gtr

Jenna's always pissed off with you breaking shit,,,she would be even more pissed off if I bought one and build it properly on my tiny budget and handed you your arse.

I don't really want a 4wd drive tiger,,,I love rear wheel drives,,,you can't beat the fun of rear wheel steer.

LOL, I love the thinking you put into your car. I have gone down the same road with trying to get some weight out of the std doors :) I am loving dimple dies at the mo :)

Thanks Troy,,,I'm hoping to maybe take another few kilo's out now that I have this tool. Dimpling would be much better than what I'm using as cutting the thinner .9mm steel leave sharp edges. It's great when you cut thicker metal as it cut flush. Correct me if I'm wrong but don't you need the hole cut 1st and then dimple it?. Where and what diplling tool did you buy?.

Cheers

neil.

Yeh, holesaw first...and stolen dimple dies. They are about $300 for 1", 1.5" and 2' kits..easier to borrow but when my car gets its cradle back in and the spend slows will be grabbing my own so not to have to borrow gear all the time.

Holesaw sux balls as it leaves so much swarf and shit inside the door :(

Thought I might post some pics taken at Bathurst by a Pro,,,hope Eileen doesn't mind. Here's the link to her website for everybody to dribble over her handy work.

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
