R33 Auto upgrade

[Rusty Nuts]

Well the standard auto we have has cried enough, this is after three months of trying to get the standard RE4R01A to play nicely with the nistune ECU much more work required by Nistune to supply auto ready ECU's methinks I own many TCU's now trying to make the box work properly. It did'nt like the torque produced by the 30/25 from day 0ne. So today it went in for conversion to a Z32 TT auto the RE4R03A also used in different configuration in Patrol, Joel at JD Auto is fitting a manual valve body , modified torque converter new flex plate to suit and modified tailshaft, oil cooler and normal pattern gate shift . Should be good for 600 hp according to previous conversions. I am looking forward to loosing the TCU and finding out how hard the car really goes without flare ,slip and not changing up.

Um....you can hardly blame Nistune for an R32 or Z32 ECU not necessarily wanting to work with an R33 TCU.  Nistuned auto ECUs usually work fine in the parent car.

I have matched TCU with ECU from R32 i'm not bloody stupid mate and read the threads on Nistune before becoming an instant expert there are many of us who have had problems with auto's and Nistune is aware as far as I know. We have tried four TCU's and two auto transmissions, changed speed sensors and corrected speed signals to no avail. Its not as simple as you seem to think. Hence my comment more development required.Its definitely the nistune ECU when the R33 ECU was reinstalled the engine ran like shit but the auto worked

Also through out this entire process, Consult threw up no error codes which made diagnostics difficult (impossible) hence reverting to checking signals were correct for ECU/TCU/TRANSMISSION combination. also hours spent checking wiring was correct and not compromised.
