all you should do is use the q45 tb and put the rb25 tps on it

It's not that simple. Here a pic so you can see the difference. http://rb25det.org/rb/tps.jpg

left SII, right Q45 (unknown year, pre 1995)

the USDM 1996 Q45 TPS looks like it wil plug into SII harness but I don't know if it will bolt to the greddy IM.

hmm they look kinda the same design but the turning mechanism seem to have different joins or something.

have u got a 1996 q45 tps?

my guess would to be either go this way or u will have to have the tps custom fitted

Nope don't have a 96 tps, however I do have a 96 Q45 FSM. The TPS it shows is similar to the SII TPS, they may have the same P/N.

But getting back to the issue, why does my TPS read ~5V at idle with the SII tps or the Q45 TPS? When at WOT the voltage drops to ~.5V.

Seems it's reversed.

Some guesses......(based on R32)

*you are measuring the voltage between the wrong two terminals. The supply voltage to ground measurement should be 5V. The signal to ground measurement should vary ~0.5V-4V.

*If not the above then are you sure the TPS's are wired in the same way. Because it is a potentiometer if you swap the + & - wiring it will read in reverse.

*Are you sure the TB's actually open with the same rotation eg RB30 and RB20 TB's open in different ways - one opens clockwise and the other opens anticlockwise. The TPS's are therefore designed to rotate in opposite ways and so mixing and matching can mean the output can get reversed.

As a check, get a multimeter and measure the TPS resistance (signal to gound) at idle position and at WOT position (both with the plug disconnected). What readings do you get for both TPS's?

Have you got the connectors on the right way round?

There are 2 TPSs - a Trotlle Position SWITCH, which normally tells the ECU that the throttle is closed or WOT, and a Throttle Position SENSOR, which tells the ECU where how far the throttle is open.

I'm the other guy having the same problem. Both Q45 and RB25 TPSs show ~5V at idle and ~.5 at WOT. I'm pretty sure I have it connected to the right sensor, not the switch. I measured the resistances of both. They both showed ~0.8 kOhms at idle and ~4 kOhms at WOT. When I measure the harness side of the plug (unplugged), I get 5V on one wire, ~4V on the middle wire, and 0V on the last. Is that right, can someone be so kind as to measure theirs for comparison?

Also, can anyone tell me how to check the codes on my ecu? I have an SII RB25, but it has no LED or adjustment screw on the ecu case?

On the R32's there is a diagnostic connector. This is a small brown plug located at the fuse box.

To enter the diagnostic mode you need to short two of the terminals for two seconds. This then puts the computer into check mode and it flashes the results on the ECU led and the engine check light (these are on the same circuit).

I don't know if R33 is different.

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
