Same as Sean, sometimes peaks at over 2000rpm on cold mornings, but only for a second, then quickly drops back to about 1500rpm, then drops slowly until the engine is warm, then sits on 600.

One thing i have noticed though when i park my car over night outside and i drive in the morning, the engine sounds a lot better cold than warm (normal) but it feels a little bit gutless until it's warm but that just may be because i have it overnight 12 hours or so in 10ish degree cold.

you might need an oil change? how long until your next?

or one of your O2 sensors might be faulty/dirty.

or it's really cold

Flushed and changed my oil last weekend, o2 sensors are fine checked those a few weeks ago too.

He's in Mackay... It doesn't get cold.

Not true man! 2 weeks ago it hit 4 degrees here at night/morning

not sure why it does it.. the VQ35 in other cars doesn't rev that high.. but it does seem normal for the V35.

My Stagea revs to about 2400 for a second from first start in the morning and then drops as it warms up. Always has.

Damn thing won't drop below 750 when warm...

have you done the idle air volume learn procedure?

After cleaning my throttle body, it wouldn't idle much below 900 until I ran this process.

I guess the VQ35 in the Stagea is probably setup the same. The VQ35 in the Murano and Maxima don't rev anywhere near as high at cold startup.. not sure why our cars need to?? I know they are tuned differently, but I am not sure why that would make a difference.

i remember my startup revs situation started happening after installing the 350z intake tube. did both the throttle learn and idle air volume procedures multiple times with no improvement. there are absolutely no leaks anywhere.

its something i want to fix before installing the plenum spacer.

I did indeed. Prior to the relearn, it liked idling at 950rpm when warm.

Far cry from my old VQ25det Stagea that idled at 550 when warm.

I have a cable (+ laptop) & can set the idle to whatever I like (within reason). I should send it down to you one day; if no one in Melbourne has one you can borrow.

I'm far from an expert on any of this but is it possible that the vq35 in our cars reacts differently than other models due to being released for the Japanese market? It gets extremely cold there so maybe it is required for that climate??

Usually, and don't quote me on this :D they will rev higher on startup to heat up cat coverters quicker for emissions reasons.

A mate's 350ZHR did the same thing.

I would say this probably isn't the reason, the revs only peak to 2000rpm for a second then drop back to about 1500rpm, which is where most cars idle when cold. If the intention was to heat the cats and O2 sensors, it would need to stay at high rpm for much longer.

    • 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?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
