I had my car running good today, went for a drive and my car just started reving high on idle so I drove home, and stared it at home now I an idle hunt goes from 1000 to 3-4000 what are the main cause of idle hunt?

You must have a vacuum leak and a big one for it to rev that high..

You mentioned you were going to pressure test, did you?

You should now.

Did you set the timing correctly? Not that it would fix your high idle issue. But it would nice for the people that have helped you to know if it worked or not.

I did pressure test it the other day and found leaking injector insulators but fixed that, I'll do I pressure test tomorrow and report back. I got it close but when I took it for a drive it boosted up high but felt like it wasn't doing anything so we advanced the timing a little and it went a lot better and it also helped with a oil pressure problem I had

It's just a thermo switch for the front fan. Kicks in about 90 degrees

what fan are you talking about? the condenser fan? that's for the air con condenser to keep it at 40degree celcius. the sensor in the radiator I thought was a coolant sensor.

The sensor/switch mounted in the bottom RHS of the radiator is for the thermo fan.

If you're bored, unplug it and bridge it with a paper clip :)

my a/c thermo fan is gone....i'm putting one back in eventually.

If you're going to that much trouble, better off installing a better fan :)

The stock one is a little on the shit side

i had a good look around a few years ago but couldn't find a 3 wire fan that size off the shelf.....i didn't look too hard though....any ideas?

eh?

it's a 2-wire 12V DC fan bro lol

Just get a SPAL item off eBay and whack it on the front, and if you're keen use a different thermoswitch so the thermo kicks in earlier

    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
    • lights are on just the one click.  
    • Absolutely matters because, while a temperature change will eventually reach a sensor at the end of a static line, the response time is far far far too slow to be useful. Might as well not have a temp gauge at all.
    • When I was eyeing off the 370GT (after deciding I didn't want to spend 30-40k+ to relive my early 20s in an R33) I thought it'd be a good project to add a turbo to it. Now that I have a 370GT, and I've had a couple of chances to open it up, I'm pretty stunned by how much power it makes 🫠 Honestly, the way the VVEL opens it up, it almost feels like there's a little turbo tucked away in there somewhere. It's like Nissan looked at VTEC and said "hold my beer" 😁 Has anyone thrown a turbo into their 370Z or 370GT? Is there a conservative boost level you can run without having to upgrade the fuel system, or are bigger injectors and a bigger pump a given?
