Hey guys, have had a quick search but unable to find any difinative answer to my poor idle problem with the A/C on, will be having a look at the AAC valve - anyone have any other suggestions? Oh am running the stock BOV not leaking and it idles ok with no A/C on!!!

Cheers

This probably isn't the best idea but I have been told by a few reputable mechanics/tuners that the "R33 Skylines idle too low for a 10yr old car and should be bumped up abit".

According to my RSM my manual R33 GTS-t used to idle pretty solidly between 640-660rpm. It would hunt every now and then, so I bumped it up to around 740-770rpm and it is 300% nicer when idling/at the lights/etc.

If it costs me an extra $2/wk in fuel big whoop.

Edit: Obviously make sure your Air filter / AFM are clean.

Agreed! We cleaned my mate's airflow meter the other night and it worked a treat. As Ben would concur, you may also want to try resetting your computer.

Oh - and clean your AFM with CRC Electrical Contact Cleaner - NOT CRC Carby cleaner! :(

Another possibility to consider: My rev hunting problem disappeared after i changed my fuel pump. Turned out my old fuel pump is dying and not supplying enough/stable fuel pressure to the engine, therefore causing it to sometimes hunting for rev or almost stalling on traffic lights or in crawling traffic jam. All happened either with AC on/off (was slightly better with AC off). With the new fuel pump all is nice now.

    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
    • Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
