R34 GTR MFD - Throttle Percentage Unstable/Erratic

 

Hey Guys,

I have noticed during the last few weeks that the MFD throttle percentage display has been noticeably erratic in which the readout is jumping +/- 3 or so percent (flashing almost) while the throttle is steady. I replaced the TPS and the problem continues. While the car is not running but in 'On'/'Accessory' Mode the readout is smooth and steady with no fluctuations at all. Does anyone know of a fix/solution?

Any help is appreciated, Cheers

Nick.

What happens at full throttle? Can you look with the car off (as less vibration etc so less chance your foot is moving small amounts)?

What is your battery voltage like?

At full throttle (while driving) the MFD percentage readout still jumps from (100%-99%-100%-98%-99%-97%-100%) very rapidly. With the car off but in 'Accessory mode' the readout on the MFD is very smooth without any kind of jumping or hiccups and is very accurate to the position of the throttle. I did notice that when I am measuring the voltage of the TPS, it drops significantly when I start the car which tends to trigger the '4WD/a-lsd' error lights on the dash so for the moment I have set the TPS voltage higher than the 0.5V (closed throttle) recommended. The Battery voltage on startup is around 13.6V which I think is low compared to what I normally see which is at least 14.2V.

Did you ever find a fix for this?

      I recently got their dbw 74mm throttle body and pedal kit. It is sensational quality especially the wiring harnesses. Unfortunately I can’t answer u about the fitment to stock inlet manifold as I’m going Rahjab Racing forward plenum. Only one thing to be careful of is understand u have to pay gst and import fees if your purchase is over $1,000 in one shipment.

      yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.
