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.

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
