Hey all ive got a 1996 4 door R33 GTS-T auto.i have put forged pistons and metal head gaskets in and a highflow turbo with all the other normal mods 3inch, pod, fmic, ebc and a stage 3 shift kit put in. I am looking at getting a full replacement ecu and new injectors. The car is making 300hp atm with a SAFC2. My car is poor on fuel even driving off boost. I was just wondering what workshop is best for my kind of car being an auto ,which management would you use ? thanx

im from down south i got the shift kit done at South West Automatic Transmissions bunbury. i reckon it was 1 of the best things ive done to the car so far .be good to see how it gose with a good ecu and tuned.

Can you PM me details please? This is the first mob I've heard of that do them in WA! Hopefully they can do the tiptronic boxes..

any ecu will work

the auto transmission is not controlled by the ecu like on the r34

you will lose timing retard on shift changes , shifting will be more abrupt . but if your getting a shift kit anyway it won't really mater

hi.. um is that true? the auto is not controlled by ecu????????

an wat you mean will loose retard timing on shifts?? is that all the ecu really does??

coz i swapd ecu's one day an it wouldnt shift to good at full noise..

was like it lost the electronic shift at full throttle....

so a shift kit will fix??

cheers

In R33's the TCM and the ECU are separate, R34 they are in the same unit.

When you use a non-auto ECU it doesn't know to receive signals from the TCM to cut timing when the gearbox wants to shift gears.

This is pretty much what happened with the Haltech in my wagon, it would flare horribly on the 1-2 change and not go in at high rpm unless I lifted the throttle or bounced the limiter.

Got a shift kit installed and it is phenomally better, it doesn't care that the ECU isn't cutting timing, it just GTF in there.

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
