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.

    • My first thought is to use something like this https://www.bunnings.com.au/goof-off-177ml-adhesive-remover_p1580913
    • Here it is nice and clean and for shits n giggles he's the clearly structural piece of trim it was holding down. 😬    
    • A lot of the trim pieces on the E39 are super brittle and just dissolve when you try to get them off. It looks like a previous owner has used what can only be described as an industrial construction foam adhesive to glue down a tiny piece of trim.  Unfortunately this part of the tailgate is starting to rust because of how much shit is in here. This is stopping the water draining and there's a big build-up of dirt that is just staying wet. How can I remove this? Would a flap disc get rid of this?  I think this car spent a lot of time inland. There's so much light coloured, fine dirt and dust everywhere.  Sorry for the pic. I've cleaned this all up now so I'll get another pic of it clean today.
    • Surely, just about any shop that has done a Skyline (or Supra, or RX-7, or EVO, or WRX) will have done E85. But perhaps you need to specify what type of car, what type of engine, what ECU, you propose to be using.
    • Try an oil additive. There's a couple of options for "easier shifting". These are essentially a similar idea to what Redline put into their Shockproof gear oils. I had a 2nd hand R33 (in fact, as of right now, it is still in the car) that simply would not engage any gear with the engine running, with normal gear oil in it. We dropped that and replaced it with Shockproof lightweight, and suddenly the gear lever did what it was supposed to. At a cost, of course, of the then ongoing damage to internals done by running Shockproof. But the synchros were already totally uninterested in life, so there was no loss.
