Hi guys.. Just a couple of quick questions...

On the front of the throttle body of the RB30 down under where the intake pipe joins there is a small pipe connection that's for the Idle air when the throttle butterfly is closed. Is that meant to have a hose hooked up to it or not? If so, where too?

And, is the AAC valve supposed to have a spring in it? I read somewhere to be careful when pulling it apart so as to not loose the spring, mine definitely did not have a spring.

And help greatly appreciated.

Don't mean to sound like a tard here but isn't it RB20, RB25 and RB26 only, or are you referring to a stoked RB26 or something.

no idea what this has to do with my questions...

I went and had a look at a mates and his has a hose coming off it but it just goes down by the engine mount so is still sucking in air.... i ended up blocking mine off till i figure out where its meant to go.

on my rb30 the fan is constantly running even with revs so i can never ever hear what the engine sounds like, just one big loud fan is what im driving right now! is there a problem with it? should i just install a thermo fan? or is that just how it is?? cheers if anyone could help me!!

Hey mate... here's a pic of the throttle body showing what I am talking about, thanks.

Oh and as for the aac valve, i got one off a mate and they do have a spring.

that pipe is for coolent to run through. to help the thottlebody warm up quicker or not freeze during winter... i think

      I was wondering about this. I'll do some research.

      Why not? Since mines been built, I've used low boost maybe 5 times.

      gauge needle removal

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.

      R-chassis INNER tie rod torque spec?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task

      Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
