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.

    • Well, I'm tired. I'm tired because about 4PM yesterday, before today's appointment someone immediately bought my bumper. They couldn't get it any other day as they're on the way back to NSW. So I had to do that big GTR conversion I had been planning. Unfortunately, the information on SAU about what you need and how this is done is incomplete. So what should be a simple bolt on affair, yeah, it's not. Did you know if you use all GTR items the bonnet won't close? This little manuever sent me into about 1am the night before trying to dodge a way to get it closed. I will have to revisit this in the next few days  - or maybe not, I may let a body shop figure it out. It all needs to come up and my motivation to pull the bumper off is low. It also seems to hit things in the bay where the GTT bonnet didn't. Yes I used 100% new OEM GTR items. Today, I had the joy of driving to the dyno looking like this: Given I had roughed in the fuel and given sensible but pretty conservative timing, I didn't really bet on having the car drive out any real difference than when it drove in. Sadly due to a miscommunication and laptop fun and games (and almost bricking the dongle, prayers and firmware updates indeed), I ended up using HP Tuner credits to licence the car that was already licenced. So in the end my laptop was used. It turns out my butt dyno is still well calibrated after all this time. The 325kw was on 74% Ethanol, the 313kw line was on 98. The other line is the 'before' line which was 281kw. While the numbers are pretty low, they're pretty in line with what you'd expect. Even if US dynos bump the whole result up about 50KW, gaining 10-15% is similar gains.  The curve of the cam is pretty much spot on with what was discussed as well. All this said, it still feels bad to not see the number you secretly want to see. Even if the car drove great beforehand, and I knew pretty confidently the car would drive out much the same way it drove in due to the nature of a wellish dialled in LS1 not gaining much if anything at all from being tuned from where it was. As expected, the car isn't particularly sensitive to running it at anywhere between 12.0 and 13.0 - And the initial timing at 20deg and 12.0 made 308KW. So 3 degrees of timing, and leaning it out to 12.7 for 5kw, anything above stopped giving any benefit until E85 (which has an additional 2 deg as before). Car itself behaved entirely fine. I found out that 100C = 1.15V! IAT at about 7pm was 19C. I might mess with the bonnet mounting.. but given the REO NEEDS TO BE CHOPPED TO FIT A GTR BAR this is possibly something I may leave gathering (more) dust until it returns to paint jail.
    • It sounds farrrrrrr too cold at your place Duncan... Here I was thinking our 10 degrees overnight is getting cold...
