Hi All,

Having a problem with the car...

I thought my Air reg and AAC needed cleaning because sometimes the car felt like it didn't idle right.

Upon taking our the air reg and aac they were both in mint condition (old owner probably cleaned em?).

So i put everything back and now my car is not idling right.

It used to idle at about 900rpm once warmed up.

Now it's idling close to 2-2.5k even when warm/hot.

The car is also shaking alot.

Anyone able to help asap?

Thanks.

check you connected all the hoses and wires/plugs back up properly.

quadruple checked.. everything looks like they are in and fine..

took the car for a drive and it wouldn't go... just rev...

kinda misfiring/missing as well.. with no go...

arghh

hey all,

still having issues with the car and need to see if anyone else has any input.

the idle issue has been fixed.

however i am still having the issue where the car is shaking like hell and when i took it for a drive no power/ won't boost etc..

i believe a cylinder is not running? or something along the lines.

anyone able to suggest what the issue could be?

the only thing i did to car was:

1. take off throttle body

2. take off AAC to clean

3. take off Air Reg to clean

and put everything back on and all these problems occured!

idle fixed now but lost cylinder? WTF?!

car shaking could be a result of leaking vacuum hoses, probably not recirculating correctly atm. Look for those small skinny hoses that attach to the intake pipe. They could be damaged/not properly connected. Worth a try :yes:

If you have stock ECU/Nistune, give the ECU a reset, disconnect one of the battery terminals, pump the brake pedal to discharge what's left and see if it still does this after the reset.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
