Hello everyone 

Ive got Skyline v36 350GT 2007 

car starts hunting on idle 1500-2200 rpm) after cleaning the throttle bodies 

Ive taken it to a specialist here in Perth and they told me they have to take the tbs out and reset them manually and they did, nothing changed still hunting 

They tried everything nothing worked yet, they finally said the ecu needs to be reflushed but they don’t have the software for this model neither Nissan dealer.

any ideas or anyone had same issues 

 

cheers

The good people at Uprev have the re-learning procedure here: https://uprev.com/documentation/Resets-for-Nissan-Infiniti-Functions.pdf

Super fiddly, but my car would barely run after a reflash until I got this right and is now perfect.

Note, disconnecting the battery for a minute or 2 is worth trying first

I believe the alternative is to do it via a consult, so you may have to try nissan, they are incorrect if they think they can't do it, the just need to choose DOM for Japanese Domestic on the Consult.

The key procedure is painful to get right...

One other option, does it idle OK if you unplug the AFMs? I had an AFM die which sent the ECU to limp mode, which allows it to run fine at idle (but not rev)

Nissan said they don’t have the software for this model(2006-2007) which is ridiculous

hunting go away only when you disconnect one tb and leave the other one connected 

other mechanic suggested to put a 370z ecu don’t know how accurate that is 

Interesting, and what if you swap the TB, does the problem follow the TB or stay with the wiring?

Nissan are just choosing not to help (or don't know their own software). The software is the same across all models including JDM, perhaps consider another dealer if possible.

I have a consult clone, as Duncan said, you need to change the region to DOM.  If they leave it set to Oceania, they won't get the option to select this model.

Sounds exactly like the symptoms you get when you mess with the throttle bodies without doing an idle air volume learn.  Very difficult to do it via the manual method.  Consult or nissandatascan will do it.

Mechanic sounds like they are spitballing..

I get nissan are choosing not to help, or don't know they can, but the hardware/software local dealers have do have this capability. Like Greg I have a consult III clone which can connect to my fuga and other weird imports including my Cima, Titan etc OK.

yeah, consult is the nissan tool that all dealers have, you can buy Chinese clones of this which do the same thing.  There are other options out there beside Consult (can't say I have heard of anyone using the term 'consult' for devices other than the Nissan devices).

I know the nissandatascan software can do the idle air volume learn among other things the basic OBDII tools cannot, but they are not on the same level as Consult.

You need to buy your own adaptor though, their webpage lists compatible adaptors.

You would need NDSIII for the V36

Not sure whether this is related: Motorvate DIY has this warning on his idle relearn procedure for the Infiniti G37

*** NOTE: If you have a 2007 G35 or 350z (engine: VQ35HR) there have been reports of an ECU update that is required to allow the idle air volume learning to work. Without the update, after cleaning the throttle you will have a high and unstable idle ***

I was experiencing the same issue after cleaning my throttle bodies for the first time after 85,000miles on my 2007 sedan. The car would not let me relearn the idle, no matter how perfectly I timed it, even using the NDS3 app it didn't work. I took it to my local Nissan dealer and told them to flash my ECU to version C and then perform the idle relearn. It worked! Car drives perfectly now.

Hi, 

Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone.

Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated. 

While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck.

Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth.

So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now.

Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

    • Just a thought, how come you didn't use a 4D table? So you essentially run 2x fuel and 2x ignition tables, and the table/map switch is handled when there's enough WMI pressure detected. This is mine, but using the flex sensor as the 4th dimension, note the slider at the bottom. Between 0 to 70%, the timing is blended/interpolated , once it goes past 70% ethanol full send
    • Hi guys, after dreaming of owning a JDM legend for 20 years, I got the chance to buy a 1995 R33 GTR.  I live in a small country called the Solomon Islands which is in the pacific. There is no performance car scene here, however 90% of vehicles here are 2nd hand Japanese imports so there is a handful of JDM sports cars here, tucked away.  3 Evo VI’s, 1 180sx turbo, 2 GTO’s, 1 R32 GTR and 2 R33 GTR’s.    Only 1 Evo and a 33 (mine) are active. I’m hoping to set up a club to get these cars back in the road.    I’d known of my GTR for 9 years and always dreamed of owning it. At the start of this year I found it sitting outside a workshop waiting for a respray. It was in pretty bad shape, although running and driving perfectly apart from a big exhaust leak and worn out bushings. My brother in law who is a huge GTR guy came over for a holiday and I took him to see it, he got into my ear and I bought the car 2 weeks later as is.   I’ve had a pretty bad problem with alcohol and weed since 2020 and I really wanted to quit. So I used this as my motivation. I quit everything cold turkey and have been investing all my spare time into restoring this car. It’s honestly been the best experience and has been such a positive impact on my life.  There is no market for these cars here, no parts and no mechanics that can work on them, so if you wanted to sell one it would be pretty impossible unless you found the right buyer. After a bit of negotiating with the previous owner (a good friend) I got the car for $15,000 AUD ($85,000 SBD) which is insane.  I’ve almost finished doing a refresh on the engine, new turbos, spark plugs and split fire coil packs. Also new gaskets and seals, This car had no leaks to begin with, but it’s due now being 30 years old. . Next I’ll be working on the suspension, all new bushings, ball joints, king pins and new coil overs.  Then it will be body work, it has really bad rust in the boot floor, I have purchased a rear beaver cut from my bro which will replace the rusted out one. The car is originally KL0, but was burnt orange when it landed here, then it was resprayed toxic green and then Bayside Blue. I’m probably going to get it redone in Bayside Blue.  I’m super grateful to be able to enjoy this car and couldn’t have done it without my bro Chris from OG-JDM. Looking forward to the future with this car and hoping to get it on the runway at the airport here 😂  cheers fellas 
    • Also, it is just about triangularity. The less angle, the easier it physically is to do. Think of the amount of slip you're getting, as how hard you need to push an object. More slip, equals pushing way harder. Then the ramp is how steep the hill is. The Accel is less slip, which means it takes less pushing (less slip) to get it to be able to push apart. However, the steeper sides on the decell means it will take a lot more pushing (slip) to get it up the ramp.
    • It's the angle of the ramp from the vertical. You're measuring from the horizontal. To convert, take 90* minus your angle reference = Nismo Angle.
    • I agree, thus 45 degree is the *max* force one could apply to it. This is similar to what I've seen in uh... simulations... which allow you to play with diff ramp angles. Anything higher (or lower) than 45 degree would produce less force as 45 is the max... triangley.  I would state the 1 way is 90 degree, at least this is how my brain and other ways of explaining it refer to it. 90 degree also effectively acted completely open. I realise Nismo refer to it not as 90 (or 89) but "1". So I'm not understanding the angle on which these angles are based.
