There's an FICD actuator under the air filter box that lifts the ile speed when the air cond is on ...It's adjustable.
Get someone to switch the air con on & off and have a look under the air box firewall side . Hope this helps.

I've gone through the bible for info ..............rang cheezy but they no longer make engine mounts
Left hand side is the only one that keeps pulling apart

Anyone else that makes them ? Or do I just get the original from Nissan.
