I just did a service, changed spark plugs, oil and oil filter and flushed out my coolant 12 times before it came out clear.

but now when I took it for a drive, the rpms go up and down between 800-1000 when I switch the headlights on, constantly going up and down. 
 

what gives? Why am I always unlucky like this

Apexi power fc and OEM injectors. Injector 6 is right below the AAC valve hoses, and I had them leak onto it before. The injector is dirty on the outside. I think either the nipple on the AAC valve is corroded as hell or the hose is leaking. Could it be when I did it 12 flushes it would’ve forced more out and leaked onto injector six?

also I’d like to add that when I was changing the spark plugs, a part of the coil pack housing plug broke on cylinder 4, but it is still clipped in sitting tight. But I think this is unrelated 

im just saying this happened straight after the service

99% it is the IACV.

Hmm, did all the sludge block the IACV you reckon?

so taking off the whole unit, what do you recommended cleaning it with? Contact cleaner, degreaser or carbi cleaner? How, just lace the insides with the spray?Also can it simply be removed and put back on without having to readjust anything?

I'd also consider wrapping that broken part of the coil plug with some insulation tape....to be sure to be sure!!!

Too late I already put it all back together. It’s a pain to get to the spark plugs on RB’s. Hopefully it holds out for the next six months. Then when I’m changing the spark plugs again I’ll get a new plug. Don’t know why I just didn’t wrap some electrical tape when I plugged it back in. I was thinking about it but didn’t do it. Only after I put it all together I thought that I should’ve . Sometimes when something is done you access your work then wonder why you didn’t do a particular thing. Is there a word for that sensation?

on the other hand,I took off and cleaned out my iacv . But I haven’t started the car yet, so it got dark. I’ll see if it worked tomorrow

Well cleaning out the iacv valve didn’t change anything. Could the plug on the coil pack be related to my issue? Is there any fuse or relay that it could be related to?(r34 gtt 25detneo)

also I noticed a ticking noise coming from the coil pack cover area. I think it may be arching? If you look from the top of the plug, only half of the top part of the plug is broken

I still haven’t solved this problem and it’s driving me crazy. I can’t even take my car out at night. Here are some things that I had a look at:

- IACV. I cleaned it. Didn’t fix the problem

- changed the broken coil pack plug. Didn’t fix the problem

- checked the maf wires. Nothing broken

- checked CAS wires. Nothing broken

- was told it could be a faulty water temp sensor. Disconnected it. Didn’t change anything

Like I said the idle fluctuates when I turn the lights on only, rpm fluctuates and voltage keep fluctuating between 13.5v-14.6v. When I turn off it sits at a healthily 14.3v

Can anyone please lead me to the right direction?could be alternator or reg be on its last legs?

      V37 Alarm settings and what the buttons do.

      By HYBRID VL · Posted

      I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models?

      R32 Gtr Long Term Love, Now Project

      I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again

      Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!

      curious to know what drivers you chose and the results? quik mafs, says two 6.5s should roughly equate somewhere between a single 8" or 10" driver. i agree that IB is definitely the way to go in most cars imo.

      Rear suspension upgrades

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      S13 and R32 rear suspension geometry is horrible once you lower it (which everyone does). The camber & toe out ramp is very aggressive, hence it's common for the S13 boys/girls to use a S14 or S15 subframe as the geometry is light years ahead. I'm sure the same can be done on R32s, but I don't know anyone that has done that.
