My Stagea has a random TPS error that triggers limp mode and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction with regards to troubleshooting the problem. This is my first fly by wire car, so TPS issues like this I am foreign to.

From what I understand the M35 Service Manual isn't available in English but the V35/G35 manual is a good reference for this sort of problem.

Best idea would be to try to borrow a working unit from someone, and try that out. If that works, grab one from the wreckers off a V35 / Z33. I think they are the same. But watch out for any unit that has a hole drilled in the plate.

I don't think there are any replaceable parts within the unit itself. But someone will correct me if I am wrong.

I tried to rip a throttle unit apart to clean the TPS carbon tracks but i'm fairly sure it failed. They are definitely not a serviceable part.

Seeing Nissan want $1800 for a new throttle unit and these are failing like hotcakes I would grab any second hand VQ throttle you can get. A 350z/V35 one will fit, I am running a VQ25DD throttle at the moment due to the same fault.

If you need a hand with clearing the codes, resetting the idle or changing the throttle over, a quick search and you will find the information on here. Otherwise PM me if you need someone to do the work for you.

Thanks for your help guys, I'll try source a VQ throttle and give it a go. $1800 seems abit steep lol, a quick search on Ebay and I've found a "New * GENUINE * Nissan 350Z Maxima Throttle Body" with TPS sensor for sub $250

Post up a link to seller, or is it just a single unit?

Yes, whilst I didn't have a Z33 TB, my old VQ25det Stagea had a V35 (VQ35de) throttle body on it without issue.

So between Scott and I, that would mean that 350z, M35 and V35 throttle bodies all fit.

Prossibly J31 Maxima as well although I have not tested this.

What does the seller mean when he says "For your peace of mind this part comes with a 12 month manufacturers warranty at least."

...at least?

I reckon he's bought heaps of these at a clearance sale & will swap any faulty ones for as long as he still has stock.

It's more likely to be the throttle body but the pedal could be the issue. As it's just a glitch that causes the limp mode it is very hard to measure voltage or resistance issues, easier to swap the parts out.

Just to add to this, it seems that when it goes into limp mode, I can turn the car off, tap the pedal input sensor on the pedal afew times, start it up and its fine...

Is the pedal input sensor as interchangeable as the TB seems to be?

Jap manual is on here if you want it, can be good for pics and some use with googly translate.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
