My timing is out on my rb20det so I read up on all these forums and eventually found a PDF manual on rb engines.

In the PDF it says the first step is to change the idle speed to 650rpm.

Engine was originally idling at 950rpm

I unplugged the AAC valve plug (brown) and it dropped to 650rpm for about 3 seconds. Then it slowly dropped over the next 10 seconds until it stalled. I tried adjusting the idle screw both with the AAC valve plug hooked up and disconnected. No change in RPM.

Another forum suggested to disconnect the TPS (rb25) but for rb20 it is not necessary.

I'm really stumped..

You might need to wind the idle screw all the way in or out (sorry having a mental blank as to which allows more air through)

But raise the idle as much as you can first then work backwards

Keep in mind there are 2 plugs on the AAC unit, I don't remember which one you unplug to do this

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
