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.

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

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
