mine has a idle noise pattern, it goes quiet then goes a bit higher then dies down to 50% of that then rises again then goes to quiet and over again... it differs if I'm on an angle, how much I've got the clutch in etc...

despite how much the air con is draining power, the idle control should compensate. sounds like its on the way out or already gone. A good car should have a smooth idle no matter what accessories are on or off. Call ICE on 9512-7591 and ask for Gerald or Nigel.

Was it doing this when u got the car inspected?

Actually, the idle was varying between 500-850 when the aircon was OFF. So I don't know what the heck is going on...it's given me no problems so far. But I better get it checked. I think it was doing that on inspection but probably not that noticeable.

What I meant though is that when the aircon is ON, the idle becomes constant and doesn't vary anymore. Only when it is OFF. Bizarre bizarre.

Other thing that bothers me. Happens occasionally, past 70km/h, suddenly the cars steering goes off abit. I feel as if the rear is floating. I take it that's the hicas at work? However, my wheel suddenly doesn't become aligned straight anymore. However, most of the time it seems to have no problems of that sort. HICAS problem? Would a 4WS alignment help?

Anyone also know where I can get wreckers for skyline parts? Thinking of looking for a Type-M body kit or some nice side skirting. Any advice guys?

Thanks!

On some advice, brought it down to Nissan today. They didn't find any problems apparently. The console showed up nothing, just the TPS was acting up a little. Idle was adjusted and that was it (although it's still wavering a little).

Hmmm..I'm still sus on the Hicas. ECU wasn't readjusted either.

Mebbe I'm just paranoid...

Car's performing fine...and she's a dream to drive. I'm proud to say that...hooray..I finally own a Skyline :D Always wanted one anyway.

Now...to bring the boost to 10psi. Some nicer rims.

Shite..I'm still looking for webspace to host a pic of the car.

Thanks for the advice guys!

hey Ait u should take ur car to a performance specialist and get it serviced, change the spark plugs etc, it may fix the idling. i dunno about nissan though, i think they're just over priced. their services mainly involved inspecting, they dun actually do much and they charge u heaps.

Yes, indeed. They checked, said there was nothing wrong and charged me $65. That idling and the hicas problem still bugs me. I just encountered it again.

Yes, I need a performance specialist who's very knowledgeable in Skylines. I might check out Ice Performance.

INARK, I'm in the East Malvern area.

I'll send you the pics after I change away my hideous charcoal coloured GTR looking rims :D (I'm too ashamed of my car's appearance):eek: :Paranoid:

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
