been working on a the engine trying to get it wired up correctly. I have got it started now and it seems like it doesn't want to run right.

Problems:

very low idle, almost dies

gauge is showing little/no vacuum (this might have to do with my homemade vacuum block)

running super rich

doesnt want to rev up

When I unplug the maf it runs much better, idle raises up and it revs much more smoothly but stops at 2500 rpm like it should. As soon as i plug the maf back in it drops down again to 300 rpm or so and wants to die again.

I was thinking maybe the maf wiring or maf itself are bad?

what would cause it to want to die and not idle?

Haha I am actually located in Texas, in the US.

I went out and tested the voltages that the TPS is sending back to the computer and its something like 3v at close and almost 8 at full throttle. this is with the car on and engine running. I tried adjusting the tps down but I only got it to send at a minimum of 2.6v at close throttle.

Isnt the tps supposed to see 12v on the + wire?

throttle shut the tps should read .44V but i'm not sure which wires that is across

a good idea would be to grab either a consult cable or an ecutalk display and hook it up to a pc and see whats going on

www.ecutalk.com does the cables and the display (display is soooooo handy)

take a pic of the vac system and post it up, it will give us a good idea of whats going on

we told you in your other thread that the TPS see's 5v and you haven't taken any notice. no wonder your getting ridiculously high TPS readings. you'll be lucky if you haven't done any damage to the rest of the sensors that are designed to receive a 5v supply.

FYI, anything above 2.5v on the TPS at low load i.e idle, makes the ECU think you have your foot planted so it starts dumping in shit loads of fuel, this is all in preparation for hard acceleration and wont cause an issue if you do just that. because your not accelerating its just running mega rich at idle. to give you an idea of the fuel enrichment, your basically going from a normal idle injectors pulsewidth of about 3m/s to one of about 20m/s.

oh and just incase you still don't believe it

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
