With a search wielding no definitive answer, a new topic it is...

All my other manual cars over the years have idled around 650. All of these cars have been na btw. Even the charger (auto) in park idles at 800..

My s2 stagea rs4s idles when warm at 850-900 rpm. Is this normal or is it too high? (Under the bonnet on the leading edge there's a sticker that says 650) so theres conflicting info already.. is it something to do with turbo and needing to idle higher maybe? How do I adjust it.. if I need to?

900 sounds too high. Have you tried cleaning the AAC valve? That in itself wont set the idle but there is a screw on there which may be letting in too much air at idle. That screw can be adjusted to bring down the revs. Cant remember the exact idle speed off the top of my head, but I believe the auto idle is slightly higher. 700-750 is what mine is around.

From memory, logging the timing using a consult cable is also a way of seeing if the ecu is trying to regulate too much air entering the engine at idle. If you see the timing fluctuating that may be a problem. Ill have to dig out my old ecu logs.

Thanks for the replys guys. Stock ecu as far as I know.. ive had the car 3 weeks or so from japan and its been at 900rpm since. Runs nice but I always thought it had been a little high.. please excuse my ignorance but what is an AAC valve and where is it located? I thought about adjusting the idle control screw but wasn't sure if that would throw out anything else.. bah ecu's lol

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
