For some reason when i start my car up first thing in the morning it hesitates if i pump the accelerator a tiny bit untill its been on for about a minute or so.

Lets say i start it up, its idling nice at about 900rpm, i pump it a tiny bit and it drops and fluctuates at 500-400 rpm for a second or so and then jumps up to 1000-1300 etc.

Could this be the TPS, only thing i can think of as I swapped over to a Q45 throttle body (but used my old TPS that was on my old throttle body, came off a S1 RB25 so it was all good to swap over). Anyone know what the TPS should be reading at closed and at full throttle?

And before you say it yes i have removed the water valve spring (valve that holds the throttle open a tiny bit untill warm water flows through to close it)

Thanks!

Ill check that tomorrow and let you know :thumbsup:

Nothing else really done, only started happening when i installed the greddy plenum, idles fine so cant be the plenum installation only happens when the accelerator is depressed which is why i assumed it might be the Q45 TB or TPS.

It just seems a bit odd that it only does it when its dead cold, meh.

    • My Neo turbo only went last year. Not 35 years old, to be sure - closer to 25. But still.
    • There's no way they left the factory like that. In R chassis there is nothing stopping the steering wheel being put on one spline out from straight, and then adjusting the steering arms to "correct" it (sort of). As well as the indicator cancelling there would also be an issue with how tight you can turn in one direction to the other. The other (less likely) possibility is that the "clock spring" (the circular electronic part that allows the wheel to turn while still having an electrical connection for horn and any other buttons like cruise) might not be in place correctly. I don't have any pics of the R33 (or Stagea) setup but there would be a circular locating tab which sits in the steering column to have it straight...if that is not seated properly then the indicators may not cancel at the right point (and, you might also get a HICAS error since it would think you are driving in circles)
    • It will mostly be bad scoring on the bores, which you can almost certainly fix by machining for oversize pistons. I have to say, I am super surprised that any standard turbos made it 35 years down the track before exploding!
    • Thanks for the info mate was thinking 255/35 rears and 235/40 fronts
    • What's the difference? I would have said that between the front and rear axle lines, there's no noticeable diff between a GTR and an NA 2-door.
