Hey,

I have recently got a r34 running great expect for a couple days ago, basically the idle when cold is at about 1100rpm and sounds very rough it use to sit around 1500rpm.

When i turn it on when its cold it will slowly creeps to 1100(used to hit 1500 pretty fast) and feel abit rough till warms up to temp any ideas on what it might be or what i would need to do to diagnosis it?

i have a feeling maybe it has something to do with the fuel? cause the first time it did this it chocked when i went to start it, then turned on if that has anything to do with it :s

any help would be great :) thanks

your IAC might be full of carbon build up and causing the rough idle, take it apart and give it a good clean and scrub to remove all the black carbon build up inside.

theres a thread in the DIY section on how to remove, clean and reset the idle.

Once you have done that and if it has not fixed the issue, give your Idle screw 1/4 to half a turn - only.

I would not expect you to have idle greater than 1 to 1.2 RPM on your tacho. 1500rpm is like an auto choke

Could have been the fuel filter, my RB30 injectors are leaking and its idling on about 900-1k rpm, usually sits on about 1.1k - 1.2k. So if the fuel supply's being cut, it'll obviously do that. Good its fixed though, I've still gotta get round to my injectors ha

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.

      Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?

      Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.

      So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!

      OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
