Hey all, I've searched all over the forums on how to measure the voltage on a TPS on an r33 but haven't found a detailed description. I know that you loosen the 2 screws and rotate it to adjust it, but when it comes to measuring the voltage I'm hopeless lol I just bought a multimeter yesterday and it came with 2 wires.. a black one and a red one. Do I just ground the black one somewhere on the car chassis? Also with the red one do I measure the harness that comes out of the bottom of the Tps or the plug that plugs in the side of the tps and do I measure it with the car switched on and idling? I've also attached a picture of the multimeter I purchased and was wondering which mode its meant to be on when measuring the tps? Thanks!

To measure volts... turn the multimeter 1 click and thats volts DC...then you can just ground one side of the multi meter and measure the voltage... but. but other than that i cant help ya... thats if this is helped ya at all :P

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
