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?

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
