maka Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Hi All, I DID POST THIS IN FORCED INDUCTION PERFORMANCE, BUT NEED LOCAL HELP I GUESS 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 (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/286728-nissan-gtr-high-idle-and-throttle-body-fix/page__hl__cleaning++throttle++body). 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.

maka Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 Nah could not get it from nissan. Apparently can only buy the throttle bodies complete.. this is not something that i was willing to do I wonder if there is any place that can service them.. I was thinking hyperdrive.

maka Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 Well didnt find the seals, but thought I woudl reseal the throttle bodies using the instructions in diy throttle body fix. However after the pain of putting it all together, the car still idles high :-P Now playing around, and will see what i can do.. But hope it will all work out good in the end.. Just time I guess. Not lookign forward to pulling the throttle bodies off again.. but at least it is fresh in my memory on what to do now..
