Tiptronic conversion ?!?!?!

[Cyric]

Hey guys,

Well I bought an R33 auto coz im lazy (arent we all) but I'm kinda missing changing gears

Was thinking about doing a manual conversion, but like I said I'm lazy so I dont want to get stuck in traffic and have to do it all myself!

Anybody got any thoughts on putting in a tiptronic transmission? Is it even possible? I know it was an option on the R34's but how would I go slapping one in an R33??

Any feedback much appreceiated

Cheers

Haha sorry, No idea actually. I don't thnik tiptronic would have the same affect as you still only have 4 cogs. I'd go the manual conversion instead of tiptronic. Just my idea but yeah, much more fun in a manual, especially a turbo

[VIPERGTSR01]

yeah manual all the way

manual is the way to go. ican sell you my tiptronic transmission if you want cause i'm converting mine eventually. you have to find out if there is anyone who can swap a 34 trans onto a 33

Stick to the topic

I think there was a sequential shift kit floating around somewhere. Not sure what company, and i think it was for a WRX - but that could be a possibility?

sorry, but i don't know about auto to steptronic conversions...

i have been thinking about this too as mine is auto. I think it will cause alot of problems trying to get it working properly electronically speaking. I dont know if the 34 tiptronic box has its own ecu to the main one, but it would need something to tell it what to do.

I think putting a r34 ecu in the 33 would cause problems too. I would like to hear if someone has had success doing this though

don't bother with any attempts...you will be disappointed.

do much electronics to muck around with and will cost you a arm and a leg with the auto electrician the r34 triptronic has its own ecu which would also have some connections to the r34 main ecu which would cause problems. Too much ****ing around..also you would need the console for the gear stick made up etc cost extra money too..My 2 cents

[hippy]

r34 tiptronic is worse or just as bad than an r33 auto i think ... i mean the tiptronic will change gears way slower than a manual ... if only it didnt'

[Guest RedLineGTR]

from what people have said with the triptronic down shifting is very good but going up the gears the reaction time is pretty average.

Not a big fan of auto preformance cars, just doesnt feel right
