Nice PM's guys.

May I suggest that the first mod should be a transmission cooler?

Leave the fun stuff until later, they need a trans cooler over here.

Doesn't it get as hot in japan as it does here? Also, I'm ganna make a guess and say they have far longer traffic jams?

I haven't put a trans cooler on my car yet and it hasn't gone into limp mode. Not saying he shouldn't, but I think if he's not going to modify it or tow, it should be fine right?

If it absolutely needed anything wouldn't it be better having scotts bypass mod or VB upgrade?

Looks like my first mod will be the Transgo Shift Kit, through Jetwreck.

How does the transmission cooler benefit?

And what's Scott's bypass mod & VB Upgrade?

VB upgrade is the Transgo shift kit.

Scotty's bypass mod is a cooling system add-on; this allows the cooling system to be purged of air extremely easily (this is one of the most annoying jobs on the whole car, and is critical to the safe running of the engine). It also cooling water to circulate from a dead area in the back of the block, back to the radiator. This allows temperatures to stabilise very quickly after a high load event.

This mod is literally worth it's weight in gold. :wub:

The coolant bypass kit is not very heavy mate, it's worth more than that. :P

Thanks Dale, glad you like it.

No, Japan's summers are not as hot as here and their cooler months are definitely colder than ours.

Decent trans coolers (hell, even small horseshoe shaped "coolers") have been found to extend the life of markedly and IMO should be on every car - feel free to ask EF Falcon/Futura owners who have their transmissions sealed from factory.

You are correct though and yes, I am a forgetful idiot. Scott's coolant bypass is without question the first thing I would install if I purchased another VQ (unless it has it from factory).

VB upgrade? Nah, not that high up on the list of things to add to a fresh PNM35 although I do appreciate the improvement it makes... hell, it is still behind roughly $3-4k of mods on my list.

We've already got a trans temp regulator type set up anyways... i guess, Also isn't a theory behind VB upgrade is that because there is less (slip or friction) so there is less heat generated between shifts?

Heh, not trying to come at you bro... I also forgot those mods in my #22 post in this thread :P.

      Does anyone know whats happening with harness on drivers door?

      The two diagrams are equivalent. The R32 one is just one sheet out of about 3 showing everything in the whole car all at once. And without knowing the functionality that occurs in the modules, they are both equally opaque.

      8v - 2.48ms 9v - 2.15ms 10v - 1.74ms 11v - 1.41ms 12v - 1.15ms 13v - 0.99ms 14v - 0.89ms 15v - 0.82ms 16v - 0.81ms I'm running these values on my RB20 Neo with 570cc Denso R35 stock jets and it's great. Also bought a set for my Legnum VR4, love these injectors!

      Thanks for your reply,  Those blue/green wires running to the actuator aren't attached to anything, so I'm not sure how the central locking is still working. I will have to take a good look tomorrow, I don't have the car with me. After googling it seems like a pretty common aftermarket actuator which even uses the same green/blue wires the immobiliser required. i'll test everything tomorrow and if it's working i'll melt the solder, strip it, resolder and neaten it all up with some heat shrink. I don't have to understand it if it works hahaha I just don't want a fire/ short circuit. That R32 diagram looks more like a continuity chart? Can you make sense of this form the R34 manual? 10V is probably due to very flat battery, i'll recheck as well tomorrow, I did have to jump start it haha. Thanks again!

      So, COM doesn't mean comms. It means common. What common itself means will depend on the type of device. For a two directional actuator (ie, one that can push and pull on the same output rod) then the common will typically just be the earth connection. There will be at least 2 other wires. If you put 12V on one of the other wires, then the actuator will push. On the other 12V wire, it will pull. Can't quite make out what is going on with the wiring of your actuator. It appears to have several wires at the actuator plug, but there only appears to be 2 wires where its loom approaches the door control module, with at least one of the others cut off. I don't know these actuators off by heart. I'd have to look at a wiring diagram for one before knowing what the wires were about, and that's despite me having to replace one in my car not all that long ago. Just not interesting enough to have dedicated memory set aside for trivia like that any more. That actuator is an aftermarket one, not the original one, which probably died and was replaced. That might require some sort of bodge job on wiring to make it work. Although nothing should justify the bodginess of the bodge job done. As to the soldering job on the door module's loom plug. Ahhahhahaha. Yes, very nasty. Again, I cant tell you what any of those wires do. You'd need to study the R34 wiring diagram (if you can find one that shows the door module). I don't think I have any. I'd have to study the R32 diagram to start to understand what mine is doing, and again, even though I've had a problem with mine for the last 25 years (where it locks the passenger door when the driver's window reaches top or bottom of travel) I'm just not interested enough to try to to work it out. So long as it's not burning down, it's fine with me. Here's the R32 GTR diagram, which, confusingly, has rear door lock actuators and window motors on it!! As you can see, unless you understand the functions of the door lock timer and the power window amplifier, you'll never be able to work out how it works just from the diagram. I don't imagine that the R34 one is any better. Hopefully an R34 aware bod can help. FWIW, the two wires that are cut and joined look like they are both power supply - so hopefully it is not fatal to join them. The 10V you measured on the cut off free end of one of them is concerning. You'd expect 12V, and it might be the reason for the bodge job joining them together.
