Hi,

I have done an R32 conversion to a RB25DET and bought a new engine loom for the 25 however it didnt have a plug for the Throttle position sensor.

Does anyone know why and if its required? will it just idle rough without it plugged in or will i have overall issues?

did this initially, wasnt happy with loss of VCT and the hassles of tracking back a lot of wires which were dodgy on the rb20 loom. So now, replaced the ECU, ignitor box, injector loom, coil loom and over all engine loom. only bit missing from this setup is that one plug....

from discussions with people i had you have issues with the vct running off the rb20 like it only working up high if you manually wire it however i cannot comment on it as im no car electrician or expert of any kind. and the other issue of fixing the rb20 wiring that was already f***ed is the reason of swapping it all..

The hard work of ripping it all out and putting in the new one is done. i am stumped by the idea of this one plug which there are no signs of ever existing in the loom.

    • I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...
    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
