G'day guys i finally bought a skyline but its having a little issue i was wondering if anyone can help me.

1st thing: when i put the aircon on the revs lower 400rpm and stay low. Is it the FICD?

2nd thing and i think there related: any load i put on the car (lights,steering ect) revs drop and stay low,if i just slightly open the throttle just a teeny bit and find the right spot,(might take a min or 2) it will lower revs bout 300rpm and idle fluctuates.but after i find the spot and i opening her up a little bit more it dissapears.

it only does in the one spot when opening the throttle slightly.

Is the AAC and FICD blocked or sticking?

And are they both in the same housing at the rear of the manifold?

Its giving me the shits as soon as i drive off clutch out,slight throttle it fluctuates and carries on.

any help guys would be appreciated.

Ok i took it off and it seemed not that dirty and nothing was clogging the air bypass were the screw goes into.

also turned the a/c on and unplugged the FICD and i could hear it clicking...but no change in idle? It should increase RPM

That part could be clogged? or need replacing?

I also just noticed the fluctuation (maybe misfire) it happens more when warming up but decreases when warm but its still there.

Maybe TPS?

if its a misfire then its almost certainly your coilpacks.Have you replaced them? Gapping plugs to 0.8 and splitfires fixed my misfire problem , revs would drop down with noticeable misfire and jerk at wide open throttle.

I gapped the plugs yesty heat rand 7 good plugs,fouled from slightly rich tune.

and there brand new spitfire coil packs.

WOT no missfire,

It seems like a apparent miss or hunt when i just touch the throttle and i have to hold it at right spot for it to do it im talking like .5-1mm

of throttle movement and it happens.

if i

I PM'd the video it would let me upload it otherwise. its cold first off then its warm n sits just below 1000rpm then when i touch it its flickeres up and and down

cant see the video

upload it on youtube or on www.mediafire.com and give me the link

Yes and gapped to .8 as everyone does, in this forum anyway. I cleaned the AAC unit and adjusted my tps and cleaned my maf.

Problem now instead of fulcrum ting (hunting) if I put any load on the engine it will drop idle and carry one untill I open the throttle up

that sounds like a deeper issue

the only things that would cause that , that i know off are all the things you've already cleaned & checked. tps , maf , splitfires & plugs...

coils and plugs are the number one issue for this....

where are you located? My mechanic Paden from Unique Automotive (in villawood sydney) is a genius and Im willing to bet he can diagnose this by just listening to it.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
