recently my TB started playing up, while i was driving i would lose all power and not be able to accelerate I also noticed that my revs had lowered to near 0 when i started the car. Some days when i started her up same thing id get a engine light and have no accelerator. Speaking to craig he said look at the Throttle Body.

after ringing up numerouse places chasing a genuine part i was told

A. There were none in the country

B. and Quote from email http://www.nissanparts.com.au "The throttle body is $2118 available out of japan."

after a bit more googling i found these guys

www.PECONLINE.com.au

and they did it for

"Item: Nissan 350Z Throttle Body (042)

Total: $286 incl. delivery"

if any of you need this part try these guys.

It was also a very simple swap out job no learning no messing around.

I suppose you did all the cleaning etc first?

And I also assume the new one fixed your problem?

Reads as though it was an intermittent fault. Have you had it in long enough to make the 'all fixed' call?

  • Like 1

nah not sure if its fixed the issue. lol was there supposed to be heaps of cleaning involved? coz all i did was remove the old one and put the new one in. I took it for an hour drive and couldnt get it to fault?

Lol, a lot of TB issues are fixed by cleaning it. Was wondering if you tried cleaning first, before replace it.

I hope it has fixed your problem though.

lol man honestly im so lazey when im not at work, i just cant be stuffed trying to fix stuff, id rather just buy a new one and know itll last another 10 years before i have to replace it again (knowing i wont have the car for another ten years also helps).

ahhhhh i cant lie with a straight face once i replaced it i opened the other one up by cutting the pop rivets off to see whats inside. What i noticed inside is, i don't think cleaning out will fix any issues, there is only three gears, a DC motor and a Spring. if there was a sensor of some type yeah cleaning mite aid this but its pretty much mechanical besides the DC motor that has a + and - terminal. It has no other electronics.

Yeah issue happened again this morning, started car, had no accelerator with a solid engine light. turned ther car off and turned it back on every thing was back to normal took it for a drive down the street and while i was driving (about 60 km/h) same thing happened engine was still on engine light apeared lost my accelerator, slipped it into neutral turned the car off, turned it back on and engine light went away and car was working again.

any ideas?

yeah i just realised this thanks scotty and dale, had a go at it and got two codes, (thought you needed to get the code when it was happening)

P0121 Throttle Position Sensor/Switch A Circuit Range/Performance Problem

P0235 Turbocharger Boost Sensor A Circuit Malfunction

Car idles fine when its cold and warm?

not sure what the boost issue is, not running any boost controllers. last thing we did to it was swap the turbo for Hi-Flow and put in a boost guage, also i think i have one of your presprung waste gates scotty ? none of these should be throwing a code yeah ?

It will most definitely throw a code, as the wastegate will now hold 15-16psi and the car when cold is expecting no more than 7-8psi. You can perhaps just pull the plug off the boost sensor and stick a bung the hose to stop that one.

The other code is the same one I get, it is saying the throttle pedal sensor isn't within spec, and it limits the throttle. You can actually still drive like that, but you have to put your foot to the floor to accelerate a little. Do you have cruise control or a throttle controller plugged into the pedal harness? Otherwise you will need a new pedal assembly to replace the sensor, $220 I think from Amayama or $400 from Nissan.

I have Cruise controll, i just unplugged it and will drive it round for a bit to see what happens. ive had the cruise control for ages, this fault has only recently started happening. ill buy the new pedal assembly and throw it in. do you have a part number for us please? cheers

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
