R34 GTT - Bottom end build question
Dose Pipe Sutututu replied to LjB123's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Your NEO head is worth quite a bit of coin, and since it has been serviced it is already in tip top condition. You could sell that and you'll have only a small shortfall for a used 2nd hand NEO motor. Slap on a new head gasket, using major service kit, a few new seals here and there and you'll have a very capable motor to do 300kW ~ 400kW all day.- 61 replies

Why enable a feature and not expect it to be used? It's like having a hot missus you can't bang.

Yeah the DQ500, uses wet clutches and found in the RS3 and TT-RS. It's the clutch position sensor that has failed, hence it can't determine any of the odd gears when the box gets warm. From scouring the web, it only seems to have affected earlier Tiguans only, some have speculated it was a manufacturing issue at one of the plants. VW will replace the entire mechatronic board instead of the sensor (which involves removing and soldering a new sensor on). Guess it requires less effort from their techs. Just my luck.

Thanks @Duncan let's see how I go next week. For good measure, just happened again. Daily occurrence 🥲 Will get it fixed and wait till the Minister of War & Finance is back to work so we have more cash flow instead of torching our savings before we buy a new shit box (won't be a Nissan, soz).

I hope so, hope being loyal to the stealership has some positive(s). Shitbox has been exclusively serviced by VW, even though I could do it myself for heaps less.

That makes it 2x broken cars at home. Both kind of work, one leaks coolant when warm one skips 1,3,5,7 gears when warm. Lol.

R34 Brake Upgrade advice
Dose Pipe Sutututu replied to Dil-Dog's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Double check with the guys at HFM, might be because they're using different rotors. Regardless, you can adapt the rear Brembos, that's the main point. -

@Pete Hoek looks good! Yeah the rears don't fit straight on, however HFM make a bracket to adapt the rear 350Z Brembos onto S/R chassis cars. They just released it too, so you're in luck! https://www.hfm.parts/shop/brakes/rear-brakes/340mm-rear-rotor-caliper-adaptor-s-r-chassis/ -
FWIW, Tao from Hypergear made over 500kW at the rear hubs with a stock plenum/intake manifold. I've done 407kW at the rear wheels with a stock plenum/intake manifold. Moving to a sexy looking Plazmaman plenum, I've a bit of boost response down low. Could make 1bar by 4100rpm before now it's about 4400rpm.

provided the you've work out the centre of the rack and positioned the wheel in the centre, then everything else is dependent on the alignment. (Not sure this is the correct way, but this is how I've done it with my own cars) Measure equal amounts of the exposed rack, this would be the centre. Now note where the wheel is in the car, and remove/adjust the steering wheel so it's also centred. I find with these old shit boxes, steering wheels have be removed, replaced, then returned back to factory for compliance reasons and/or previous owners have stuffed with them OR worse, cars have been binned into gutters so now the car "drives" straight with the wheel pointing in the wrong direction so people remove and re-centre wheels so it's perceived as centred.
