Hey guys,

I recently joined this forum because in the states there are a few good places to get information but I found a lot of people that recommended coming on here. For the last few days I have been digging through a lot of posts on here and have come up with a basic notion but I would like to here from the guys that actually have r34 rb25det with a tiptronic transmission. I got extremely lucky and found a r34 neo rb25det front clip here in the state for a really good price and I am considering getting it but the fact that it is a tiptronic turns me off a little bit. What I wanted to know is just the overall ratings you guys would give this system. I have a room mate that has a rsx with tiptronic and it doesnt seem all that bad, but what worries me is the strength of it. I read that one guy was running about 250kw through his but it eventually blew. I would probably try to get mine up to running around 10psi on the stock turbo just because i dont want to stress out the transmission all that much. Also I was wondering if any more of you guys got that shift kit from the group buy and if that has been proven to strengthen the tiptronic at all. Last but not least I'd just like to know your honest opinions on this motor and tranny, hopefully the guys that have manual transmissions dont come in here and go crazy :P but any information you guys could give me woudl be a great asset. Thanks

woops and I wanted to know for those that have raised the level of boost what type of engine management are you using? I have read that a lot of the products out do not get along with the tiptronic all that much

all 4 wheel sensors? what's this fellow on about?

you might need wheel speed sensors for the traction control butterfly if you want to use it, but you can easily replace the whole throttle body on the neo for something else that doesn't use it - our just don't connect it..

i forgot to state that this will be going into a s13. now what i was wondering is if i could get away with sourcing a rb20/25 tranny bolting that to the motor and using the manual parts that are in my s13 shell to complete the transmission swap or am i just a retard and only scratching the surface? because the s13 shell has everything related to the transmission in it

If you are going manual... You should be able to get by with using the S13 pedals, R34 clutch master cylinder (required for a heavier clutch), the s13 lines and things -in fact you wouldn't be most of the neo parts ones anyhow as they are for the R34 shell.

Where you will have to adapt probably is use the slave cylinder line and slave clyinder from the rb25 gearbox, and also the cross member you may need up to suit S13. And a tailshaft made up as well (would need that for the auto anyhow would say)

You will probably have a few issues of working out which parts of the neo is wiring for the auto transmission, but most often its the auto has the extra crap for wiring, controllers, etc that in a manual is not required at all.

In the tiptronic there is probably more interface between the auto ecu and engine ecu (guessing here), so its possible without the auto controller hooked up in may go into spastic mode... In that case you might have to source a manual R34 ECU.

so i would need the r34 master cylinder and couldnt get away with using one from say an r33? the guy selling me the clip has the full original wiring diagram and extras taht he imported with the neo clip

edit: also if need be i can pick up a power fc to do away with the ecu

Have you done a swap and have experience with this? What are you supposed to swap the TB with?? What if his front clip doesn't even include the AT computer?

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
