eXc When you pulled it apart was the centre pin out?

When I put my pin back in it was too loose to hold so I drove a thin punch up the hole in the back of the pin to expand it to make it a tight fit in the hole as well as using loctite 601.

Your spring probably fell off but it looks alright in your second pic.

Yeah it was kinda loose. I will give this a go. If it starts playing up again, I know the culprit(well most likely) and I'll keep your idea in mind if I need to make it tighter.

I actually think the pin was in it when I pulled it apart, but the part that spins, was not in the right place. Which is why I wasn't sure if I put it together right. But it seems I have. So it somehow spun out of place, but I think the pin will hold...

yay! It was the Air Regulator. It's now idleing at 800ish.

w00t

I am gonna write up a tutorial on how to do it and put it in the DIY section if anyone is interested.

congrats mate!

how did you get to the air regulator? what did you have to take off?

would be great if you could write a how-to and help the skyline community :rofl:

cheers,

Waz.

Already done...well kinda. I have made the word doc. I am gonna turn it into a PDF, and get funkymunky (?) to store the photos on SAU and I'll start a thread :( :headbang:

I don't think I *had* to remove anything, but I did remove inlet pipe (just before throttle body) and hoses around the air regulator, it was an awkward job. If I wasnt worried about having no money for a gasket, i woulda taken the throttle body off, woulda made life a lot easier.More details in the how to when it's up.

How to Doc/pdf will be up soon, and thread should be up soon. Definatly by next weekend.

I am also gonna do one for the AAC. and I am gonna do one for a stereo install if it hasnt been done yet, but i would assume it has.

Cheers

ok, here is the word DOC I created, I am gonna convert it to a PDF so it's smaller...just downloading the software. stupid dial up. If anyone on broadband wants to check out my tutorial and comment on it feel free...I have never done one before, So I welcome constructive criticism.

1.1mb - http://home.kooee.com.au/exup250/AirReg.doc

I'll start the tutorial thread once I have the PDF/html version written.

Cheers

I just had a look at your tutorial and must commend you for helping others out.

Just a couple of things you might revise.

How it works: It uses an electrically heated bimetallic strip to rotate a disc that opens a hole that allows air to bypass the throttle body to increase idle speed while the engine is warming up.

I wouldn't recommend adjusting the throttle body idle screw or TPS unless they have already been tampered with as they are set in the factory and rarely need adjustment.

If there are no inlet air leaks or faulty air reg. or bov etc, a functional AAC should control idle speed if it's adjusted correctly.

This can be done by disconnecting the AAC plug then screw the adjustment in to slow the idle down or out to speed it up. Idle should be about 675rpm. Reconnect the plug and let the ecu control the idle.

    • It’s new. It’s the cd009. I did take the transmission apart to mill down the bellhousing and had both housings come off the gears so wondering is something isn’t in right. I am running redline. I can get it in gear running too but it’s just not easier and it’s almost like 2, 4, 6, and reverse all the back gears aren’t happy going in
    • I’ll remember that as a last choice. It’s brand new
    • Got keys and did a walk around the yard planning the landscaping works with the family that I will be doing Main effort: remove all the woodchip in the gardens that are around (attached) to the outside of the house and replace with 10mm blue metal, having woodchip close to the house is a recipe for inviting white ants, currently there are no white ants within the block and I would like to keep it that way I'll be buying some large raised garden beds to grow veggies and stuff, and the woodchip will be mulched with everything else that gets dug up, pulled out, or cut down during works Next will some minor drainage and landscaping maintenance up one side of the house, where the fuse box, AC, and solar stuff will go, about 12 mtrs long by 2 meters wide, I'll break up the soil, add gypsum and then I'll dig in a French drains about 300mm deep x 300mm wide and fill it with agg pipe and blue metal, then level out the whole area with a 50mm layer of blue metal, the soil, whilst currently pretty compacted, will break up well with the gypsum to aid in drainage, I'll then cover the area with a 50mm layer of more blue metal In saying this, the drainage issue is minor, but that little hidden away area down the side is untidy and weedy, and as all of the main elec stuff is there I want it neat and tidy to appease my OCD Again, the material excavated from the French drains with be added to the garden bed mulch, as will some rose bushes and some other crap looking garden plants, and a old apricot tree that is looking worse for wear The apricot tree is currently in a little roundish garden bed that is in the middle of the back yard with few other crappy looking plants around it, that will all be removed, levelled, re-turfed, and is a perfect spot for a hills hoist There is also a area about 3m x 2m between the rear fence and shed that will get some attention, it looks like some stuff was stored there and the grass is dead, that will also get broken up and mulched, and is a prime spot for a pumpkin patch I've guestimated that I'll need: 3 tonnes of blue metal, 12 meters of agg pipe, 5kg of Gypsum, and a hills hoist, so a few bags of concrete as well to set it in place (the house currently has one of those pull out 4 line jobs, whilst it works, I want a retro old school hills hoist), I am also going to run some chickens, there's a great spot for a coop, so a chicken coop to suit 4 of those lovely egg laying bitches will also be on the job card That should keep me busy for a while, and will finish off the back yard ready for a early spring planting of some veggies and berries  Once the main effort is done I'll start out the front, there's a large rock garden that could use some TLC, but that is only minor works Should be fully moved in within 2 weeks, the landscaping works will start then Fun times, retirement is good  
    • It happens, that's what your single stage filler is used for.  If it is still visible after the 3 coats of 2k primer, it will be visible after the paint is laid down.  Its hard to give 100% perfect advice without being there in person, I'm very tempted to say stop where you are, fill your pin holes with a single stage putty first then keep going. 
    • New or used transmission? Alignment will be the same with engine running or not. If new, i'm presuming it's a clutch release bearing size issue. If used, are you certain it's a CD009/A and not an older CD008 or less? They had known synchro issues. In my opinion, these transmissions should always be purchased new, they're dirt cheap and you avoid dealing with old revisions.
