hey ya'll

as most skylines owners know, the 33 has a bit of a stalling problem

most would say theres a vacuum line problem, some would say your afm for suuuree

now iv draw the conclusion that i have a throttle sensor problem

after installing my new version 4 Wolf3d (plug in and play) iv noticed that the throttle position display is saying eratic things like it claims it open at 30% when in fact i dont have my foot any where near the throttle

from logic, i suspect that the computer thinks that the throttle is open therefor supplying more fuel resulting in a stall when infact the throttle isnt open at all

would this make any sense?

the guys that installed the unit tell me that its most definantly the problem

has anyone replaced their sensors before?

how much?

nb. rb25det have two TPS's one for large increments and one for finer points

The TPS is 2 units in one.

The first bit is 2 simple on-off switches, 1 tells the ECU that the throttle is closed, the other tells the ECU that u have WOT. In between, it tells the ECU nothing.

The other bit is a position SENSOR, which tells the ECU how much throttle you have applied. It is fully variable from 0 to WOT.

Is it possible that the Wolf is reading the SENSOR and not the SWITCH (or vice versa)? Also, from memory of the v3.0, the Wolf ECU needs to be adjusted to tell it where 'closed' and 'WOT' are.

If someone else installed it, and they agree that its the problem, then they should be making it right. The Wolf installation manual should be able to tell you if the Nissan TPS is compatible or not.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
