Now is it true that triptonic skylines are slow?

I dont believe it

Slow at what? Gear changes? The upshift on the 34's about .5-1second, the downshift's pretty quick also. But a MV Auto shift kit would do wonders to the tiptronic box.

If you're wondering what's achievable.. with shift's check out video's alexcim's posted.

Now tell me that's slow.

But if you mean tiptronic line's are slower in terms of getting power to the ground.. the general power loss is around 8-10rwkw going for the auto.

the tiptronic is still an auto box, meaning greater power loss, and shifts that are similar to a manual (maybe a just a bit quicker/slower whatever, but not much in it), so in stock form i'd imagine it would be slower down the quater or on a track...

if the auto was properly built, then it would absolutely destroy the manual for quater mile performance

Straight line there ain't much between it (8-10rwkw drivetrain loss ain't too bad)... around the bendy bits.. well we've all seen enough video clips to know the auto (even in tiptronic form) doesn't cut in there.

Check out the number of quick drag nissans there with auto boxes.. some australia's fastests drag 300zx's and 200sx's are autos. Same can probably be said about skylines.

Where you hit a limiting factor is in tuning options for auto boxes... not all aftermarket ecu manufacturers support tiptronics (e.g. PowerFC). So guess you'll have deal with that when you start making some serious power.

My R34 is Tiptronic and I only drive it in tiptronic mode, not as fun or controllable as a manual but better than auto. Who else has been in auto mode and thought they were in tiptronic mode shifting up to neutral only to hear that horrible free rev and think they have broken the auto, then embarrassingly realise what you have done :D

LOL i've done that once. I'm with you, for normal driving i always leave it in tiptronic and change through the steering wheel - it's just nicer to be in control most of the time.

I always drive my 34 in Tiptronic mode. and YES have accidently shifted to Neutral when in normal... its not a good feeling is it.. but overall its not too bad... I have heard all about MV being able to work wonders on the boxes... I love it when your stuck in peak hour traffic.. just shift it to auto mode...

tip isn't that shit...auto isn't as shit as every1 reckons...I have both and they both have their advantages.

I gotta say I love to drive the tip after driving back in peak hour with my twin plate...

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By dbm7 · Posted

      For sure the later RB26 variants had a different setup (6 cam voltage sender?), but the RB25DE/DET share the same ECU pinout/PCB footprint, and at the ECU plug it ends up being 'throttle sensor in' & 'throttle sensor out' (to A/T TCU) ...you stick a multimeter on these pins and you'll find them directly connected (0 ohms) ; I had an pair of Nissan ECUs on the bench long ago, and I noticed this throttle sensor in/out link, actually linked to an op-amp ...which was unpopulated on the NA board, but present on the T board and I went 'ah-ha!' in some moment of clarity... ...it wouldn't surprise me if they changed strategy here though (in the software and actual monitoring of this signal), because they did with other stuff (A/T signals).. and 0.45v as a trigger point makes sense, as that's what the external TCU units expect at idle ; kudos, thanks for that insight...I suppose it boils down to whether or not Consult can display real time data of that signal's voltage... ...in any event, it presents the same target...ie; rotate TPS unit to achieve 0.45v to suit both ECU&TCU, and where do you goto from there? Just disconnect TPSwitch connector and/or that plus TPSensor connector....or do you go for the throat and disconnect IACV solenoid and see if it still stalls? (probably throws a recoverable fault code and goes for default idle strategy?)...

      Exhaust silencers/varex exhausts

      I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.
