darkzebra Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 WTB the TPS for a 60mm throttle body upgrade to a 1982 280ZX turbo, suitable for use on a 5 speed gearbox. My mechanic claims the one I received when I purchased the upgrade throttle body years ago is for an automatic transmission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexter72 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 What car did the 60mm throttle body come off of ??. If it was a 240sx That tps wont work correctly. Shouldn't matter if the tps came from a 5spd car or auto.. What you or your mechanic may be able to do is, adapt the 280zxt tps onto the base of the one already on the 60mm throttle body..

darkzebra Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 Actually bought and modified it (spacer, cable linkage, etc) about five years ago. It was from a 240sx. Did not realize it was from an automatic. Had the head rebuilt and then the car was laid up. Just gave it to one of my sons and his mechanic got the car started. Sounded great but the mechanic said the TPS was wrong. I do have the original 280zxt TPS but the bolt up is different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkzebra Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 I don't know if this will matter but we already have a megasquirt setup to install as soon as we can have the downpipe done for the T3/T4 turbo upgrade done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
