All R33 Auto Owners Please Read

running the auto on a dyno can be a pain.

you either leave it in second and it smokes the wheels,

or you try doing the run in 3rd, and hope it dosent kick back at high revs.

There is a solution..

on the driver side in the engine bay near the radiator.

down near the chassis rail, there are three eletrical plugs.

if you disconnect the brown plug your car will only have 3rd gear.

which is 1 : 1 or 4th in a manual.

make sure you tell the dyno operator that he now only has third and can slowly build up to

about 60kph then give it to it.

it makes dyno time so much smoother and far less stress will be placed on your trans..

i hope this helps a few people.

You dont start at WOT if doing it in second.

Excuse my noobness, but what does "WOT" stand for?

[Spook's_Skyline]

wide open throttle (full throttle)

what do you mean by this?

i never said you do start at WOT in second.

but im sure a lot of people with more then 200 kws would be spinning the wheels in second.

Dangerman I gather what you mean is you can get high loadings on the engine at low revs without it running up the rev range as it may in 2nd .

I don't run an auto myself but I am curious to know if they have a converter "lock" like NA VL's did (I think) and if so can this be manually achieved (electrically) to get direct drive . Just a thought .

Cheers A .

as most auto owners would know its very hard to tune your car well in second.

by unplugging the brown plug you can then tune all the cruising and off boost part of the map.

as well as ramp it up consistently in the same gear every time.

im not sure about the VL but by removing this plug it disables all gears apart from 3rd which is direct drive.

WoW...i didnt know that!

I've spoken to a few that say they will tune my Auto R33 but none have mentioned this....
