Hey all.

Im currently finishing off the new engine for my track car. The car is a series 2 r33 gtst and its a rb25/30 not that it should make a difference though. I have a greddy manifold on it and am looking around on the net for a throttle body.

I want one that bolts on to greddy manifold as im dont want to weld different flange on like some of the cheap shit requires.

Now I have noticed that some of the throttle bodys to suit rb25 and greddy plenum are specific to series one tps.

Now are they meaning that series one and series two r33 have different tps?

Or do the mean that the neo rb25 is a series two rb25 and they are calling all r33 gtst engines a series one rb25. I know of a few differences between s1 and s2 r33 gtst rb25 but havnt noticed the tps being different.

Can some one tell me where they have bought an 80mm inside diameter TB that suited a greddy or greddy style plenum and interfaced correctly with their tps and throttle cable etc in a s2 r33 gtst

You will need a S13 silvia throttle cable as the R33 one isnt long enough and once fitted sits on too much of an angle. I bought a 80mm throttle body from a ebay store for my 25/30 ( im also runing the Greddy manifold) and insted of welding the spacer to the plenum that came with it i had the throttle body bolt holes re drilled so it would bolt right onto the plenum( the bolt hoels were only about 2mm out anyway. I also had a gouge machined out on the face of the throttle body to hold a O ring so it seals up against the plenum nicely and wont leak. Another issue with the ebay throttle bodys is the spindle that inserts into the TPS is too small and has alot of free play so you dont get an accurate reading from the TPS so you have to have the spindle built up with small welds then sanded to fit inside the TPS snugly.

The series one TPS is spindle driven and has one plug fixed to the side of it with another on a 5cm fly lead coming out of it. Series two TPS have two plugs fixed to the plastic body of the TPS and the way they mount to the throttle body is different ( When i bought my Greddy manifold it had a R34 TPS on it and its completly different to the series one R33 unit. I think the R33 series two TPS is the same as the R34 one. Also the pin out on the series one and two TPS is different so they are not plug and play but can be rewired to work.

Save yourself the hasle and just get the TPS which suits your engine loom.

I have just upgraded to a Q45 throttle body so my Greddy throttle body adaptor is for sale.

Bolts straight onto the Greddy plenum and allows you to keep the standard throttle body.

Also has the Greddy logo on it to match the plenum :)

$100 Delivered.

Thanks for the info jack88. so by the sounds of it I should be searching for an r 34 gtt throttle body?

Do I uee sr20 or ca18 s13 throttle cable?

Ia also dont like the idea of the spindle being poxy and having play on cheeap items so it lools like ill have to buy jap which I bet will cost an arm and a leg. Any local options?

Thanks for the offer nytsky but im after an 80mm item. Will an aftermarket Q45 TB fit my wiring or do they suit S1 r33?

I just assumed all these q45 TB I see on ebay was dodgy after market replacements for the q45. I didnt think they was genuine. And if I use one that means I need to rewire it cause s2 plugs are different and so is the pin layout. I was hoping someone made a plug and play sort of throttle body for series 2.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
