jezzerrr Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 forever, so long as you visit occasionally ie once per month or so. I think if you donate it is permanent. Or you could post the pdf (too?)

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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/69151-air-regulator-maintenance/page/2/#findComment-1438424 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezzerrr Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 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? 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...

Kwyjibo Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 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.

Trooper Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 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.

Tristan21 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 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.

Sarumatix Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 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 .

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."
