hey all

been having trouble with my s2 R33 gtst, idling low at around 550-700rpm and generally sounding a bit off.

Checked the throttle sensor readings on consult and when I set it to 0.4 volts closed throttle, the closed throttle switch shows as off (as in, reads as the throttle is open), and it also idles wayy too high, 1200-1600rpm. To get the closed throttle switch to show as on (throttle closed) i can only get the throttle sensor to read around 0.2 volts, and then it idles low/rough. Thought it might have been a faulty tps but have put a brand new one in, and has exactly the same issue.

This was happening ages back on and off but hadn't had it for a while, now is like it all the time.

I also noted when playing around with the tps adjustment (ignition on, engine off), when the throttle position sensor is turned between approx 1/3-2/3 open it makes something in the area underneath the intake manifold towards the rear of the engine start buzzing (like a solenoid clicking but heaps faster). It does not make this noise in first 1/3 or so of throttle opening, or when throttle is almost fully open.Not sure if this is normal, or related to the crappy idle issue?

I have searched on here and googled away on it but can't find the answer, only alot of posts about what voltage the tps should be reading at closed and full throttle....nothing really about the closed throttle switch readings or what might be causing the problems.

Open to ideas n suggestions about this, thanks!

i haven't no, because I believe the issue is caused by something not switching right (as in, something that relies on the open/closed throttle switch that doesn't seem to be operating correctly). When my car wasn't having this issue it was idling perfectly so don't want to go adjusting the idle to compensate for an error, if that makes sense...

i understand where you're coming from, went through a similar idle issue and as a result I can tell you that male pattern baldness is not hereditary, it's caused by troubleshooting Skyline idle issues.

My suggestion to you is, take out the AAC valve and give it a good clean with throttle body cleaner.

Clean the throttle body with... ahem… throttle body cleaner.

Set the TPS to 0.45V after you’ve cleaned it. Adjust it with a multimeter connected to the TPS directly.

Take out the MAF and resolder the connector pins.

Check all the hoses to and from the intake manifold for air leaks.

Once you’ve done all of the above, reset the ECU and reset/adjust the idle.

If you're still having issues, compare the readings you’re getting directly from the sensors against the consult readout for any variances.

thank you for your suggestions, I do appreciate it. All of the above have previously been done apart from using a multimeter to set the tps, I did that via consult. As mentioned in the original post I can see on EcuTalk (consult) gauges that the open/closed throttle switch is not reading right, and showing as open, even though the throttle is closed, whenever I try to set the TPS to 0.45 volts. This to me would seem to be the issue, the ecu sees that the throttle is open and so would not be controlling idle like it would do with a closed throttle. That's what I'm trying to figure out, why it's doing that. Will clean the throttle body again on the weekend, throttle plate might be sticking open slightly? although doubtful, it seemed pretty securely closed when checked it previously

yep. my thinking is the tps is knackered. there are two seperate parts too it inside. one for the voltage and one for the throttle closed. if i turn my voltage above .02 on ignition the throttle shows as open.....

ive just had my emanage tuned and that seems to have got around the problem. the tuner said something about tricking it into thinking its working.

still id try swapping out the tps. see how that goes.

so, progress of sorts I guess...turns out I have been chasing a ghost with this throttle on/off switch. After playing round with it more last night, set the throttle to 0.48v when closed, still wasn't reading as "closed" though. Unplugged tps, revved, plugged back in, and now showed as throttle closed, and reading 0.48v still. Sweet. Still have an idle issue though, runs ok then slowly idles lower/shitter 'till sputtering away at 550rpm. AAC, afm readings were all in spec as per nissan workshop manual; did notice though that the 02 voltage goes down to 0.2v and sits there very evenly when it did this though, which I believe shows it running lean? Plugs are all very evenly colored so don't think it's any one injector playing up, and they were all reco'd less than 3000k's ago. So thinking it is either blocked fuel filter causing flow to drop at idle, or faulty fuel reg....Any thoughts?

BOV is plumbed back into intake, not atmo. Stock ecu but usual, fmic, exhaust, cam gear, custom metal pipe/pod intake. Have pressure tested in the past and no leaking under boost.

Thinking more about regulator may be stuffed, as Tomei fuel pump which used to make a higher pitched sound when priming sounds a little lower (working against less pressure?) Have ordered a fuel pressure gauge so will fit that and see what is. New fuel filter didn't make any difference.

still waiting for fuel pressure gauge to arrive but crimped the fuel return hose last night to increase pressure, and idle picked up back to normal sort of level...so would say fuel regulator not holding pressure properly, anything else this could be?

Im having exactly the same problem, .2 closed anything above is open.

Ordered a new TPS but that didnt look like it was your problem hardsteppa?

I've tried unplugging but that didnt do the trick, see what the new one does i guess.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping.

      Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.

      Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.

      Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂

      I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
