could not find anything on this topic for days so here is my problem

it will rev to 2000rpm and back to 1500rpm

rb30det w/ S1 rb25de head and std internals

rebuilt std vl turbocharger

rb25det exhaust manifold

S1 rb25det ecu. tried s1 rb25de ecu and s2 rb25det ecu

nizpro hidden intercooler

has anyone had a similar problem?

here is a video

did you use a turbo block and pistons or NA block and pistons?

You haven't given much info.

But a factory ECU isn't going to run a different capacity engine, and different turbo very well.

Stock ECU or maps has idled fine on all my 30's, I would be looking for a vacuum leak or checking the afm connections.

OK. I wouldn't have worried about non-turbo injectors, as going smaller is hardly going to help. If you've tried a different IAC valve, let's just be sure we're talking about the correct valve. There's two involved in the idling of the car. The IACV is the one at the back end of the plenum that is motor controlled by the ECU to control the idle speed at all times. The other valve is hidden under the plenum and is the cold start valve. It's electrically heated and is open when cold. As it warms up it closes off the extra air that it lets in for a cold fast idle. You don't want to play with that one, it's the IAC that's important. If you've changed the IAC with no change, are you sure that the wiring and connector for it is sound?

Also, do go look at the codes. You might find the answer right there.

I had the same issue when i cleaned my throttle bodies in my first GTR.

Also in my old r31 but that was due to dud iac valve (idle motor)

Try crimping the hose that feeds the idle motor to see if the idle drops.

Make sure the throttle cable isnt over adjusted. Make sure throttle plate is fully closed.

Make sure idle adjustment screw is wound all the way in.

Make sure cooling system is bled

will it matter with no coolant because it doesn't have any in it what so ever

Sounds like a wiring issue to me.

I'm pointing straight to the AFM for the time being. I have seen similar things with dud AFMs / No AFM connected / Incorrectly wired AFM.

Because VL's wiring is SOOOO gay, and most people dont know how to correctly wire up RB's, most people miss the fact that some of the sensors have a separate power feed fed by a brown wire, and most people dont even both wiring up the crank signal, most of them run like shit.

I'd check the AFM, if you are not electrically minded, get a mate that knows RB's wiring WELL. Check for the obvious too, IE, vacuum leaks.

It is possible that the IACV doesn't even have power to it, one pin should have +12V when the ignition is on. The 0V for this valve is controlled by the ECU.

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
