Hi guys

Just wondering if anyone knows how to wire up the xf throttle body with a vl manual TPS

My car being a auto originally i have two connectors. Just wanting to know which one do i use to the connect the TPS to it.

Any diagrams or explanations or steps would be much appreciated.

THanks

on skylines manuals and auto's both have 2 plugs for the tps. one is apart of the plastic tps moulding and the other is on the end of a short length of cable coming out of the tps unit.

the one on the length of cable is the variable tps output. usually 3 wires, 5v input, ground and variable voltage output. (from memory the middle one on the plug is the output)

the one that is apart of the plastic tps moulding is the throttle on/off switch. usually 2 wires, just a switched, on/off voltage.

I have converted my skyline to manual and have obtained a TPS from a vl manual commodore which has only one connector( does not have the additional wire and connector as on the automatic vl)

Just need to know how to splice in the existing skyline loom to the manual vl tps connector.

i was looking at those billet ones but dont trust them. plus being 250 bucks or whatever they are, and could have the possiblity of getting a poorly made one could stuff everything up .

Xf throttle body being 20 bucks, and knowing that they work. I dont think you can go wrong. Yes they were made in 1972 or whenever and from a shit car ( who cares).

Just wiring issues at the moment but if i find the right information, its not going to be hard to have it sorted.

oh ok, didnt notice that in your first post you said it was a vl manual tps. what ecu are you running? you wont be able to use the manual vl tps with a stock ecu, auto or manual.

the manual vl tps only has the on/off switch, when the throttle is closed the switch is closed. just do a continuity test on the pins until you find the ones that switch.

i was just going by what other people have said that works with the xf throttle body.

I didnt think the standard one would work.

I think i have lost the standard one, i have tried finding it but dont know where i put it. i'll have to keep hunting around, and see it would work.

people that are running the XF throttle body,

do you guys have the air bleeder thing on it which you can adjust or not?

I have one that doesnt have it on it? could this affect idle ? (hoping that ya know what im talkiing about.)

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂

      Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
