Also change is pretty good as long as you bounce off the limiter!....it's just the shift down thats crap.

ive found if my foot is on the floor, it will change when IT wants to, not when i hit the lever lol

maybe ill let it get a little closer to redline :P

that said, im still VERY interested in a shift kit. i dont think an ECU remap will affect gear changes much. as already stated, the speed of the shift is in the mechanics of the box itself.

i still rekon its smooth to save the driveline additional stress. but we all know you can take driveline components well over the factory 'limits' hehe

A valve body upgrade (aka shift kit) will make the gearbox stronger so at least that part is taken care of.

The ECU may be able to make a slight difference (My brother is a ford guru and says that ford gear shifts could be sped right up through the ecu for a particular model) but any improvement here could have a negative impact on the reliability of the gearbox - so thats why the above mentioned valve body upgrade is a better option, since it can then handle the extra pressure put on the gearbox.

Not sure about the rest of the driveline though. I had a shift kit in my last stagea (s2) for almost 2 years and it never had any trouble at all - best mod I ever did and it made the car perfect to drive.

I'm also very interested to hear that our auto box is the same as the one in the 350Z - thats great news. :)

Problem?

"The gear are slipping! It does not change when it should & there is a delay when it should shift... See (show tiptronic delay)?"

"This will only get worse until WE have to replace the whole transmission which will cost thousands!"

"I heard that there is a company that can strengthen the gearbox for around $500-600!"

You see Iain, getting the kit fitted now will "save" you money in the long term, something I am sure the Mrs will appreciate :P

Hey man, that is what makes Melbourne beautiful.

We can have 4 straight days of 43 degrees book ended by 38 degree days and still be optimistic of rain at any moment!

haha this is almost exactly how I got the shift kit on the last stagea. However that one was $440 including a transmission service and that was ~3 years ago now. If I mentioned $500-600 it wouldn't matter what else I said, it'd be too expensive...

that and I no longer live in Adelaide so there's that as well...

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By steven7270 · Posted

      So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?

      Rusty roof repair

      Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!

      That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
