all you should do is use the q45 tb and put the rb25 tps on it

It's not that simple. Here a pic so you can see the difference. http://rb25det.org/rb/tps.jpg

left SII, right Q45 (unknown year, pre 1995)

the USDM 1996 Q45 TPS looks like it wil plug into SII harness but I don't know if it will bolt to the greddy IM.

hmm they look kinda the same design but the turning mechanism seem to have different joins or something.

have u got a 1996 q45 tps?

my guess would to be either go this way or u will have to have the tps custom fitted

Nope don't have a 96 tps, however I do have a 96 Q45 FSM. The TPS it shows is similar to the SII TPS, they may have the same P/N.

But getting back to the issue, why does my TPS read ~5V at idle with the SII tps or the Q45 TPS? When at WOT the voltage drops to ~.5V.

Seems it's reversed.

Some guesses......(based on R32)

*you are measuring the voltage between the wrong two terminals. The supply voltage to ground measurement should be 5V. The signal to ground measurement should vary ~0.5V-4V.

*If not the above then are you sure the TPS's are wired in the same way. Because it is a potentiometer if you swap the + & - wiring it will read in reverse.

*Are you sure the TB's actually open with the same rotation eg RB30 and RB20 TB's open in different ways - one opens clockwise and the other opens anticlockwise. The TPS's are therefore designed to rotate in opposite ways and so mixing and matching can mean the output can get reversed.

As a check, get a multimeter and measure the TPS resistance (signal to gound) at idle position and at WOT position (both with the plug disconnected). What readings do you get for both TPS's?

Have you got the connectors on the right way round?

There are 2 TPSs - a Trotlle Position SWITCH, which normally tells the ECU that the throttle is closed or WOT, and a Throttle Position SENSOR, which tells the ECU where how far the throttle is open.

I'm the other guy having the same problem. Both Q45 and RB25 TPSs show ~5V at idle and ~.5 at WOT. I'm pretty sure I have it connected to the right sensor, not the switch. I measured the resistances of both. They both showed ~0.8 kOhms at idle and ~4 kOhms at WOT. When I measure the harness side of the plug (unplugged), I get 5V on one wire, ~4V on the middle wire, and 0V on the last. Is that right, can someone be so kind as to measure theirs for comparison?

Also, can anyone tell me how to check the codes on my ecu? I have an SII RB25, but it has no LED or adjustment screw on the ecu case?

On the R32's there is a diagnostic connector. This is a small brown plug located at the fuse box.

To enter the diagnostic mode you need to short two of the terminals for two seconds. This then puts the computer into check mode and it flashes the results on the ECU led and the engine check light (these are on the same circuit).

I don't know if R33 is different.

    • Nope, but they are definitely one of the default choices. Well established.
    • Has anyone used > https://performancecoating.com.au/  
    • Haha actually I did join back then under a different email address,  I couldn't re-activate my account so made a new one! I didn't post much anyway so not missing out on much. Amazing to see how the value of the cars and parts has changed over the years, also ACT section appears to be dead now. 
    • Thanks... It's in pretty good condition overall, probably due to not being drifted/tuned however being a daily driver has taken its toll. Had 100k on the clock when I got it, up to 180k now. Unfortunately it's not 100% dent free, it's got a small dent on FLH side and broken indicator from where I hit a small kangaroo at high speed. If you look at closely at pic #5 you might spot the dodgy trailer light repair my old man and I rigged up as temporary repair! - It's still there due to a combo of needing the car as daily driver and then too lazy/busy to fix properly. I've a couple of other minor accidents accidents as well but nothing major. One required a new front bar and unfortunately the smash repairer ordered the normal gtst one and not the aero bar. Needed the car back asap so just went with it, regretted ever since.
    • I can't believe that anyone is foolish enough to believe that the base maps are for any other purpose than to drive the car up onto the trailer/truck or gently creep it to the dyno. No matter how good they are, they can never be any better than the factory maps**, and only the foolish trust those on a significantly modified setup. **Yeah, yeah. I know there's also the difference between factory maps being fixed to certain injector sizes and MAP/AFM/VE relationships, and the likely aftermarket ECU base maps being better able to handle the sorts of changes that would render a stock ECU dangerous, like different sized injectors. But let's just ignore that for the moment, because the principle is still the same.
