R33 Gtst - Cutting Out At Partial Throttle

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

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
