I don't think there is any calibration as such? The sensor senses how far open it is and feeds the signal to the ECU as far as I know.

Adjusting your cable is another story. Take out the slack, and you could use a consult cable and software to confirm WOT. (with the car ignition on, but not running)

what i mean about calibration is so the tps is sending the right signals to the ecu cause at the moment i think the tps is out of its right position, meaning that is prob sending a signal that the throttle is like 5% open when its actually closed.

i just want to know how to set the tps back to the right position so its like 0% thorttle and the ecu is actually reading 0% thorttle

get me?

there has to be another way, like using a voltimeter using the resistants on it etc etc

It can be done that way, you will need to find out the correct voltage for it (EG: the 300zx tps is set to 0.45v at 0%) the easiest way to do it is to find the correct voltage for closed throttle and then get a multi metre in there and set it to it. If you have someone with either a consult cable or an ecutalk lcd display this can be done easily (5 mins)

yeah you can just use a multimeter to check the voltage. the voltage should be around 0.45v when closed. this is pretty standard for a lot of nissans. pretty sure the sr20 is also the same. there will always be a slight variance though. i'm not sure exactly what the allowable margin is, but if yours is dramatically different then i'd have a play around with it. if i get time i'll have a look through some stuff i have and see if it says.

Sorry for dig up this topic, hopefully i'm in the right place to post my problem. Currently my car(bnr34) MFD show the throttle reading at 1-2% when idle, for what I know it should be 0% when idle, I pop-up my bonnet and check the stop-screw, it is backed off without touching the throttle linkage(1mm gap), but why the reading show 1-2% when idle? Will TPS cause the MFD throttle reading like this?

your MFD is probably guessing what '0%' means. e.g. if it has decided 0.44v is 0%, then if its reading 0.46v then it will show as 1-2%. maybe there is a setting in the MFD to calibrate the 0/100% throttle voltages?

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
