I Have converted my gq nissan patrol to a c34 series 2 auto stagea motor, it fires up and idles like a dream but as soon as any throttle is applied it coughs and splutters and barely gains any rpm

I believe it could have something to do with the throttle control unit not being used so any wiring guru's that could shed some light on what could be happening

factory MAP sensor installed? Plumbed in BEFORE the throttle body? (ie between the intercooler and the throttle body)

The factory Neo ECU uses pre-TB MAP for transient response. If you don't have it connected up right it will be a dog on blipping the throttle but if you blip and hold for about 3 seconds then it will sort itself out and rev freely again (ie, it switches back to the airflow meter).

I had another read of the engine manaul and found that if the tps is open/shorted across the power circuit, the motor will use the base idle tune and not inject any extra fuel when accelerating, my exact symptoms, so I checked and boom, the earth was not connected, so now I'm thinking that the ecu's tps code needs to be cleared as I've tried to start it with the tps hooked up properly and the same thing happens,

My new question is about the scan tool, it appears nissan consult protocol is used with the c34, will I be able to use a newer OBDII scan tool to clear this/any codes?

No only the proper consult will work.

Have you tried resetting the ecu by disconnecting the battery for a while?

Ok so the scan tool diddnt support the ecu protocol:'( so I had to wire pin 17 ( malfunction indicator lamp) to the patrols glow plug fault light and use the paper lip method,

It pulled codes 12(MAF signal wire), 21(ignition switch signal), 26 (turbo pressure sensor signal wire) and 44(TCS/ABS communication line)

I worked out the issue with the maf sensor and ignition signal so now the computer is only throwing codes 26 and 44 now after a clearing or fault codes and a restart, and engine is revving more happily but still coughing

So now the question is about the remaining fault codes 26 and 44,

If code 44 isn't going to throw the check engine light (as according to the service manaul) should I not worry about this fault code?, or should I fake the ecu input of around 2.0volts to the communication line (pin 79) to trick the ecu into thinking everything's all good?

Code 26 pulls the check engine light, is it worth getting the turbo pressure sensor and connecting it up or just fake the inputs too?

    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
    • Just wanted to unearth this and post my baby with the new front ❤️😝 Took her to my wedding rehearsal today. Next up is getting wide skirts (after wedding)
    • Yea, that is what I was getting at in my ramblings too. The nismo one actually is a 1.5 way and a 1 way. They don't do a *2* way because a true *2* way would have equal ramp angles. Or is that a true 1.5 way? Realistically I think a "1.5 way" does not actually exist. A diff can either lock in two directions or one. It also doesn't help that a LOT of people in Australia speak about 1.5 way diffs are referring to their 1 way diff.
    • Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.
