Installed a boost controller tonight n car was running fine on 10psi, after giving it a bit of stick in now idles from 1000rpm right up to 2000rpm at idle by itself and while driving?? Checked for vac leaks and cnt find any? Confused :(

Aac valve clean?

Block off cold start valve.

Does it idle normally if you switch it off for a second then start it again?

Mine does that. Blocking the cold start valve helped but didnt fix

come to think of it... it started on mine after i installed the boost controller.

I got the HKS evc4, what one do you have?

Maybe we should unhook the boost controllers and see.

My car revs to 2grand and back to 1200 constantly at idle not jst sit at 2000 if that helps...

My experience is that that sort of idle indicates a fairly significant air leak. It could be in the boost controller, but you need to closely inspect every vacuum hose, especially the larger ones (like PCV to rocker hose).

I think it's mechanic time, I stripped nearly all pipes n hoses today on the engine to inspect them, cleaned AAC, I'm not sure witch one is the cold start valve, I tried adjusting the tps, and aic? Still got no clue :(

Hmmm....

After reading that id say the ECU is the problem.

With all the upgrades it needs tuning.

Well thats next on my list anyway, im just trying to get as much sorted out as i can before i get the ECU and tune.

So i might let the mechanic sort this one out.

wow i have exactly the same problem!!! It only happens on first start up and has to warm up to go back to normal. after i turn the car off and back on again it idles at 1000, it is very annoying, and this can be just sitting idling there, warm up for 10 mins with touching nothing, turn car off, turn car back on again with touching nothing and it is fine.

nothing gets touched or changed except it is restarted once warm and its fine, though if its not warm enough the idle creeps back up to 2500 until restarted again...

The car is designed to do what it is doing, the ecu is seeing the revs rising whilst the tps is at 0 and goes into decel to control the revs once the revs are low enough go back to normal and the revs climb again. It will keep repeating the process! My rb26 was doing this for ages and no mechanic could fix it! I end up finding the problem myself, mine was a bent butterfly on cylinder 1, ur engine is getting a significant leak from somewhere between the throttle and the head. Could be buggered throttle shaft seals or any of the gaskets between there snd the head! Even the injector seals! Either way its a air leak.

How much boost were u running when it happened? What engine and where are u? I could give u a hand to try fix it if u r local to me

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
