Hi All,

I have a bit of an issue with my GTR. When it was just running, it would idle at ~ 1500rpm. So a quick search on the net pretty much summed my problem up.. I had cleaned the throttle bodies while the engine was in bits, and seems like i created the problem for myslef. So the painful process of removing the inlet manifold and throttle bodies to investigate started. The manifold is off, and I inspected the throttle bodies, to find that they were not closing all the way due to some of the (nissan coating) still being there. So now i cleaned them all the way, and they look quite sparkly inside.. I had a look at all the parts, and found that one of the O'rings needed replacing as well, but no matter where I go, I cant find a place to buy them.. I bought new gaskets for the throttle bodies, but dont want to be in a position where i would need to pull them off again.

Anyone know where I can get some of these? and is there anyone that can suggest something similar to the coating that nissan use, rather then using silicone as suggested on a DIY fix. I heard that some of the performance shops dont bother with this, but i would rather be sure..

Am I on the right track or completely wrong..

Some images are here.

Any help is appreciated.

Yeah thought about that..

But luckily, I can't see light looking through them.. So I think they are still fine.. I would not wanna risk it tho, so therefore would just get the orings replace them, and she should be ok.. Worst case I will use just a very fine coat of silicone, but did not wanna go down that route.

Thinking about taking them to a performance shop to see what they think.

If u can see light around the butterfly valve then u have now killed ur throttle bodies. Get some 2nd

Hand ones.

I did exactly what u did on my 1st build. Ur car will now idle at 2500rpm.

lolwut??

Firstly, whats wrong with the 'oring'? Are you talking about the orange dust cover? Looks fine to me.

Apart from the fact the old throttle plate sealer was stopping the butterflys from closing, the other problem you have is that you cleaned it all out!!

You can get the butterfly sealant. This needs to be in there if you want your idle back.

Thanks for all your help guys.

I will post some pics on what i have decided to do. But I will apply a coating, there is still some light poking through..

The end bits are just dust covers by the look of it, and I was told as long as i coat around the butterfly shaft, I wont need to replace them.

Basically stripped the throttle bodies, and polishing them while I am at it..

Thanks heaps again.

    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
