Hey guys, had this problem for a while now and it's doing my head in. Mods are as follows:

Usual front mount, pod, exhaust, upgraded fuel pump, Greddy knockoff intake with 90mm throttle body. That's about it I think.

Anyways, when taking off on light throttle under load, the car will just die in the ass until I give it more throttle it will come back to life. Also has a brief delay in throttle response when revving in neutral. Changing the TPS values seems to alter the point at which the problem will occur. I've tried another TPS and the problem persists. The TPS is held there in a pretty dodgy fashion although it does remain in a static position and the readings it gives off don't seem erratic etc. Another thing is if it's held at a certain rev range, around 2500rpm, it will act like it's in limp mode and bounce off of 2500rpm back and forth.

Also, I'm aware it's the greatest thing running a mod like a FFP/TB whilst on stock ecu but seems to be doing okay and it's somewhat temporary, hopefully getting it on the dyno in the not too distant future. But really need to iron out this problem before that can happen.

I'm thinking it's either afm or tps related but have as previously mentioned, tried two different TPS's with the same result and have also resolder the joints in the AFM, but that doesn't rule it out obviously.

For the record, plugged my Nistune ecu in and there no fault codes and sensor parameters seemed fine.Although I did get a TPS fault once or twice when mashing the throttle quickly but I'm not too sure if that's out of the ordinary.

A lot to take in I know but any help is appreciated, this problem is driving me insane.

Cheers

Nah no bov. But, I found the fix! The 90mm throttle body spline was a fraction smaller than the stock skyline spline,which isn't obvious at a glance, which left a small amount of play in the TPS. So months of driving like ass was fixed by a dab of hot glue! hahaha

    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
    • Probably a smart choice to buy one vs build, purely for the motivation part as you said! Imagine the metal dust everywhere from grinding all the steel to build one. Ha ha ha!   Also, post a photo of your garage.   Mine is below, this is where I've been cleaning and have already half filled a caged 6*4 trailer. And this is after my cleaning expedition mentioned previously... The middle normally has a car in it, but I'm dumping things in the middle as I sort through them. And poor skyline was dusty and has had the lightest few drops of rain and now it looks atrocious and needs to be dragged back out and washed thoroughly! And yes to the right is technically another bay, you really can only see 2 bays out of 3 in this picture.  
    • It's more like on average the things I see a lot of things going wrong. Yes, usually the people who reach out are the ones who are having problems but on average it feels like mechanics and tuners here aren't really competent. I swing between thinking my standards are just way too high and wondering whether people really are just this dumb. I just had the strangest 10+ reply argument on a Facebook group over someone insisting that the factory R34 GTT boost control solenoid reduces boost pressure to 5 psi when it's on and raises boost pressure to 7 psi when it's off despite showing the exact plumbing in the factory service manual and the solenoid behavior detailed in the FSM.
