Dude, there's a sticky in this VERY FORUM telling you how to attach images to your posts ;):)

Here's the link: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=47677

Dayuum... has anyone tried this on an r33 yet? it's right under the inlet manifold! basically need to take the whole inlet off to even see it! this will be a bastage of a job...

Hence my tut and pics to show where it is. It took me forever to work out what it was based on people's description! haha

I dont think you need to take the whole inlet manifold off. I was trying to get to mine coz i have a high idle problem. If you take the oil filter off it will give you a bit more room.

I just did an oil and filter change so the air regulator is going to have to wait

yeah it's actually in a different spot again... the biggest thing for me was knowing what the damn thing looked like! but yeah descriptions alone just dont cut it! below that WHAT, exactly? :P

good work mate

Inasnt you're right removing the oil filter will free up a bit more room, still think it'll be a caaaaan't all the same. I'm in the same boat as you, just did the oil change. it's just a right piss off! the other day my damn car stalled because of it... and I hate hearing that pinging when it pulls itself back up off 100rpm! think i'm just gonna have to skin some knuckles...

This was an absolute pain in the ass to do, had to open up the air reg while inside the car coz the harness would just not come out. But I am so happy after checking AFM, throttle body, TPS, cleaning AAC this finally semi-fixed my idle.

It has however mostly fixed my idle, I'd like to know whether inside of it the opening is meant to be over the hole at all. In the picture posted it looks like there is still a slight gap(about 1mm), and that is the same with mine, however I would have thought it should be fully closed. The idle has dropped down now(but now its almost stalling coz it drops well under 500 after reving then flicks back up), but I wanna know whether i will need to buy another air regulator to adjust it all properly.

btw I couldn't find a spring to buy that was small enough anyway.

Cheers,

Adrian

I will be trying this tonight...Does anyone have any pics specific for R33?

I had a look last night to see if I could find it based on this thread, with no luck.

I might take the plenum off to make things easier.

I took mine out and gave it a clean however I noticed that the spring was not holding the bimetallic plate on fully, allowing air to escape on idle (causing idle to stay around 1500-2000 depending on temp)

I got a quote from Nissan, $276.95 for a new valve. I will give this a go and report back. Hopefully the idle will drop back down to normal.

For an R32 RB20 you don't need to remove half the stuff listed. I just pulled off one side of the 2 small vacuum lines and the larger lines with the T-piece. The only tricky bit is working around the loom which runs over the top over the unit. Oh and dropping the bolts down into the manifold :).

Hence me saying...

"2) Have a look, and work out if you can get to it as is. I couldn’t; so I chose to remove the following, you can skip ahead if you think you can get to it without removing them."

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
