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

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.

      I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.

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

      Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>

      I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.

      I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD.
