hey guys with another problem at hand again need your help.

ive just bought a tps for my sereis 1 R33.

i have done the acc valve cleaning,afm cleaning, new coilpacks ,sparkplugs,but cant fix my idle and very bad fuel economy.

so i thought id try and replace my tps.

ive pluged up the tps and let the car warm up to normal temp on idle with the tps conected and run very bad in missfires and shakes and just runs rich bad and bad fuel economy/performance.

i disconect the tps plug and the idle sky rockets to around 1700/1800rpm and then adjust the screw to set it to around 1000 which is the limit as screw wont really go no more clockwise,maybe just alil more.

but the car runs perfect smooth no smoke, nice note, turn it off no shaking nothing and no missfires.

when pluged back in the tps it goes down to 500/600rpm and i adjust it back up to 1000 threw the screw and runs like crap all the things that stated above that run fine with it off are happening.

am i doing something wrong in adjusting and that,i have a gready e-mange blue one and also my voltage on it is at 1.5v and thought it might be that to but not sure.

any help would be great cause i have no idea wat to do and really missfires on idle and fuel is bad aswell as perfomance wise too.

yea it was tuned but never could thought out the idle issue,can here the exuast making lil poping sounds like trrrr trrr trrr and thought maybe leakings and that but when i disconected the tps plug that all went away and idled almost perfect and no lil poping or missfires.

i havent tryed disconnecting the o2,might try that as cant think of really anything else.

I know with RB26 TPS', the ECU expects the voltage when 0% throttle is approx 0.43 and roughly 4.4 with 100% throttle. Try adjusting the TPS with the engine off until it reads 0.4x volts with no throttle

Thats what i did it was sitting on 1.5v wen and was running like missfire and thought of clears up and then set it to 0.47v and open was 4.9v could here the engine smoothen out and at the exhaust rerally smooth with no lil poping or missfire but idle then just wen up and down like crazy,stalling plus performance wise didnt feel anywhere near the 1.5v wen the way i got the car.

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
