Hi,

Since my car has been back on the road it has been playing up. I am not quite sure where the TPS sensor should sit as all the other GTR's i have looked at have the sensor in different positions! I have been adjusting it around to see if i can improve drivability and it is too hard to work out.

How does the TPS affect the tune of the vehicle?

Also, the idle has been mucked around with and i want it back at where it was originally. I know the car always idled around the 1200-1300 mark without any miss, now when the car idles it definitely has a miss.

Could the combination of these two things be causing this?

Some other symptoms:

-Runs really rich

-Cold start & the car run like a pig, you basically have to wait until the car gets up to temp so that you can drive it without it hickuping and caryying on

-General punch has flattened some what.

I did have a problem where the windscreen was out and there was some moisture build up on the ecu, could this be causing all of the problems?

Will a new apexi power fc and tune fix this up, or am i just wasting my time and money? Is this a simple fix or an expensive one? I have done all the usuals of timing check, fuel pressure check, compression check. This is some sort of tuning bug so i assume tps setup, idle setup or computer......

Any help?

bump...

i need this help so i dont shell out on a new power fc if i dont need to!

g'day mate sounds like an afm playing up when cold or tps like you said .my mech will be in newc sat if you want him 2 have a look(why did you have the car apart)we have power fc and controller for sale if interested also have spare afm's on shelf to try.

go to a nissan dealership and they will attach a consult and be able to tell u if afm, idle, and tps settings have been played around with..

a friend is having idling problems with his gtr, has been traced to the afm's (commoN) but to start with we went to nissan (hornsby) and they picked up the tps was set wrong, as was the valve that controls the idle, these problems showed up on the consult, and they give u readouts of before and after..

it cost $104 and is probably worth doing, after the settings were fixed, throttle response was much improved, and idle/revving generally felt smoother..

if that doesnt fix all your problems, it would probably be your AFM's(well one of them at least!)

good luck!

thanks for all of the response....

I wish i read this before saturday and i would have taken up the offer, oh wel...

The car goes to the mechanic tomorrow and he has a computer that plugs into the ecu and finds faults. The ECU has been modified by modori so it would be very difficult to see what the problem is. Because the car is running mines airflow meters, i think changing to the factory ones would cause even more problems.

I think im just going to splurge and get the Z32 AFM and power FC with HC and just do it properly....

Thanks All

    • I know why it happened and I’m embarrassed to say but I was testing the polarity of one of the led bulb to see which side was positive with a 12v battery and that’s when it decided to fry hoping I didn’t damage anything else
    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
