HELP!! Problem setting up TPS sensor and idle screw on RB26

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?

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

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
