hi

i have done searches regarding this but can not get a definitive answer.

i have an rb25 with a forward facing plenum which was designed to be used with a xf throttle body.

i know they open up differently to rb25 ones.

so i need to know which TPS i need to use. i have heard that you can use an rb30 one and modify it or an sr20 but cant find any concrete info on which is easiest.

if the sr20 one fits without modification id prefer to go that way but if not and i need to go for the rb30 one well ill deal with that as it comes. if you need to use the rb30 one is there a wiring diagram that shows exactly what needs to be changed? and are the rb30 n/a and turbo ones the same?

thanks

Ford Falcon XF Throttle body with the PowerFC

Some owners upgrade the standard Skyline GTST single throttle body to a larger unit. A common donor for this part is the Ford Falcon XF Throttle body. The problem with this swap is the throttle body opens backwards on the XF unit so the TPS signal wont match. You need to use the Nissan RB30 TPS sensor which is the same as the standard skyline one and works with the XF unit.

WHY RB30 TPS ??!? Why cant the standard XF TPS that came with the XF throttlebody be used ???

FORD XF TPS PINOUT :

GREEN - SIGNAL

ORANGE - 5V

BLACK - EARTH

They both operate at 5 volts so why cant the ford unit be wired into the standard RB25DET harness ?

I know the series 1 and series 2 RB25DET TPS are different as the series 1 has one plug and the series 2 has two plugs -

This forum listing explains how a 3-wire 5 volt TPS can be wired into the series 2 RB25DET (2-plug) harness

    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
    • Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.
    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
    • Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...
