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?

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

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
