hey guys,

The old man just yesterday payed for my r34 which is coming down from japan (WOHHOO best 19th bday present anyone could get i reckon)

Anyways i currently own a r33 manual, and unfortunately my dad saw dis 34 he liked (hes an importer) and bought me a nice lookin auto tiptronic one :D

I havent been in a tiptronic r34 so from anyones experience how does the tiptronic go? in terms of response, power etc.

Also havent told my dad yet lol, but i wouldnt mind converting it to manual once i get it complianced etc etc, anyone got a clue how much a r34 manual gearbox goes for? not including labour as hopefulli my dad will get around to doin it.

heres a pic if your wondering what it looks like, few scratches n dints but nothing a respray cant fix.

Hey dude, congrats on getting the 34. Not many people are as lucky as you :D.

I'm also wondering how much will the conversion of Auto to Manual cost on the 34. Correct me if i;m wrong but i think we could use a 33 gearbox on the 34 to cut costs? Can anyone verify that for us?

Can someone recommend a place to do the conersion in Melbourne as well?

    • I much prefer that to an actual oil pressure issue, never would of thought it would of been a volt drop issue but SAU brains win again. Guess ill be turning down the oil pressure limit for the track and hunting some grounds. Ill hopefully update this thread with some high oil pressure and solid ecu voltage logs. 
    • You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster. 
    • Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!
    • That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect 
    • i cant get them all in 1 screenshot unfortunately as i just dont know how to move things around tbh, but they are all from the same log and the line crosses at the same point for all of them
