RB26 issues

Good Afternoon everyone,

I've finally had time to start repairing my GTR. I had a vacuum leak from the intake manifold in the past and have changed all gaskets. Since putting it back together, two issues exist:

I've lost the brake booster
I have a fluctuating idle...When I start the car, it idles and sits at 2000rpm for about 10 seconds, following that it idles between 1300rpm-2000rpm (fluctuates)

I have taken the car to a mechanic and they have tested for leaks with a smoke machine. No leaks were reported.

Does anyone have any experience with these issues or have any ideas as to where I should start?

 

Thank you, comments much appreciated!

Hey guys, I've checked to see if the IIRC valve is operating which it seems to be, the plastic chamber is not cracked... I've checked the hoses out of the auxillary valve and they seem to be on tight and in the right location. (I also installed new hoses) Does anyone have any other suggestions as to why the brake booster is not working and a fluctuating idle? Thank you so much in advance

Potential to be 2 seperate issues with many causes. Here's some

Brake booster: Air in the brake system, booster flange issue, one way valve, vacuum leak/air leak

Eratic idle/Idles high: Vacuum leak, fouled Injectors, Idle speed, fouled plugs, ECU setting/s

guys just for an update I've fixed the brake booster issue, the idle now sits at 2100rpm when it starts then hunts between 1500rpm-2100rpm...Could it be an AAC issue? or can anyone else point me in the right direction? 

I've driven the car and it drives fine, it's just that idle issue now.

Thanks so much in advance

Vacuum leak still there.

If there is one it's hidden away better than the Nazi gold train, Searched all weekend for it, put a new gasket on the AAC valve and cleaned it, same result

    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk  
    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.
