ok before you say its the aac hear me out. so the car hunts on idle. only really bad after some mods which are.

3076r from gtrs

tomei pon cams 260 deg

now before i done the work it had a intermittent hunt at idle which seem to only happen when cold, but rarely happen so i never worried. then i done these mods and it was terrible hunt. so i had the car tuned and it seem all good then it start hunting all the time hot or cold and it would hunt and nearly stall. put the a/c on which brings the revs up and no worries. the tuner done his part and told me find out whats wrong.

sense then i fix a lot of boost leaks (which has made the car not drivable due to it being tune with the leaks) and swapping my maf (z32) which i found it removed the hunt but ran a bit shit so i thought ok the maf is buggered. change that but the hunt was still there but not as bad and ran a bit shit (tuned to a stuff maf) so some progress. before it would hunt the second you started the car (old maf). change the maf and it would idling fine but ONCE you bring the revs up even slightly touch the throttle it would hunt, basically instead of settling at 750rpm it drop down to like 500 and hunt away for a bit and come good. sometimes it would start up with no hunt then WITHOUT touching the throttle it hunt. what is shit is it wasnt half as bad before and if it happen it was only when cold. but it hunts for like 20sec or less then comes good, touch the throttle and starts again, and randomly maybe without touching the throttle. but there is points where it comes good which is strange

now im taking another chance to get it tuned and see if we can get rid of it again but im trying to cover all basis. i check the tps voltage and it was hardly out only by 0.04v but i adjust to spot on and made no difference. but im very convinced it wont be tuned out.

it has a power fc, fairly old as the timing log thing is slow on the computer if you get me.

Sounds very much the same as what was going on with my car mate. For me the problem turned out to be in the tps wires!

I found if I moved them around with the car running it would hunt and in some places be perfect, so I cable tied them off in a position that was good and it hasn't hunted again:) that's only a tempary fix for now until I re-wire it.

Hope it's as simple as that for you like it was for me:)

well it sounds like it could be my issue, its just weird its only at idle and only after touching the throttle and very rarely when not. you think there would be issues across the rev range considering wiggling wires changes its mind lol thanks anyway

no as i said i found leaks after the first tune, things a didnt mention about the tune as i was only pointing out the idle. we had some issues with the tune and it didnt pull as hard as i thought it would, he straight away said check for boost leaks. which i had plenty of, all are fixed. i replaced the maf when trying to find a solution for the hunt, which improved but didnt rectify, like i said now these 2 issues have been address a tune may fix it but i highly doubt it.

Also does anyone think my power fc could be causing it? I was also thinking a CAS sensor but I wouldn't think setting my base timing would be possible as it would be obviouse with a timing light if there was a problem (which I done when changing cams)

      And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.

      No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.

      2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.

      I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.
