Does it need to make that clicking noise when revving on idle to ensure it is working?

If the solenoid isn't clicking, then it obviously isn't moving and hence it isn't working.

Isn't that fairly obvious lol?

Hello there,

I have an RB25 with Z32ECU+Nistune.

The Z32ECU activates VCT by (engine)load, not RPM, however you can change this by

changing parameters in Nistune.

Look at what I (User: Torque)wrote here:

http://forum.nistune.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2125

This is tried tested and proven...

However despite Z32 giving the VCT-Signal, I think VCT is not working on my car.

Judging from my Dyno, I lost about 100NM ar 3000rpm.

Also the car is like a slug at low RPM.

I will (tonite) test if my solenoid is working by applying GND to the selenoid itself.

How did you get on with the issue at your side?

Torque's try disconnecting it and go for a drive, then power it up and go for a drive, see if there is a difference.

I read ur thread on nistune a while back. I am just about to tune my rb25 in r32 with z32 ecu but my car doesnt have a speedo so im not sure if i can get vtc to work

When I put my clutch it and just TOUCH my throttle and hold it, I can hear a click, in a gear, stationary. When I lift my foot off the throttle, it clicks again. RPM doesn't matter, even at 800rpm I can hear a click, when its in gear and clutched in the click when release the throttle. Is this the VCT thing? Just wondering because I have NFI what it is. Doesn't do it in neutral. Power FC.

Have you considered just getting an R32 speedo head and connecting it to a speedo drive cable (and gearbox obviously) and electrically to the ECU and then hiding it somewhere, so it does what it is supposed to do for the ECU?

You'd need to do the Navara speedo drive mod for the RB25 gearbox of course, but that's no biggie.

this is how i tested mine and its very simple if u drive it and it is faulty u will notice a huge power difference between it being plug in and unplugged mine also was leaking oil out of the plug.

i ordered the navara speedo drive from nissan this morning, $65 retail part number is 32702 - 02G17

i havent checked to see if it requires a neutral switch yet.

You can, when you set up the minimum speed for activation to ZERO.

If you have questions let me know.

As for my VCT, I tested it yesterday by connecting a light bulb to the solenoid.

Sadly it worked ;)

Also I activated the solenoid manually (by applying a voltage to it)

(It clicked and then the valve train rattled a bit, also rpm went down)

I have to say that I have Poncams, and these might just work as if VCT was on most of the time.

(more overlap)

Anyhow, I will find out what's wrong.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!

      End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall

      A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
