Had a VL Calais turbo with 360rwkw with a stage 3 shift kitted auto / 3 grand stall converter and trans brake - just outstanding to drive and ran a 10:39 at the drags..........much faster than an equivalent powered manual!

i'm guessing u ran that time in another state?

Anyway back on topic, i guess its each to their own joel! Maybe once i'm old like you i'll want an auto, hehe but for now i love my hills and punching it through corners so i'm going to stick with my manual but i can't wait til the end of the year once you have the auto and some more power so you can take me for a spin!

It really depends what you define as better.

If you enjoy railing around corners and punching it out of corners then yes the manual will be better.

I disagree Joel .... with my tiptronic R34 I can change gears in the middle of a corner and get revs up for the exit, without my hands even leaving the wheel :ban: (and wait until I get a 3k stall converter that will have me on full boost at the exit of every corner - thank God for R34 traction control) .... I'll take any manual on through the hills with the same power and suspension - you'd be suprprised how much better a tiptronic auto is :wave:

Can't wait to see the finished product! Will be simply awesome off the line, and like me, you can sit back and cruise when it suits you, but can hammer when the going gets tough!

Its good you disagree. :wave:

I had a spin off max's but it still had that auto lag where if I drop it back it took a fraction of a second to do something. But in reality its no different to a manual where you have to manually shift which takes time.

Does the shift kit improve the kick down and down shift speed? I would assume so.

LMAO ash at the old comment.. Yep my driving style has changed, I find I cruise everywhere with the odd squirt in a straight line. Shall be good fun; Andrew, might have to show these manual homo's a thing or two on a cruise. *jk* :ban:

Mine doesn't seem to have too much lag - I hear lots of people complain about it, but it doesn't slow me down through the hills. But yes, the valve body upgrade fixes that entirely, and I am going to have it done soon. I have been kinda thinking I might just wait and do the whole $2,500 valve body + high stall (modify standard stall converter) + kevlar plates upgrade done all at once, rather than bit by bit. However, so far the mods on my car have gone very slowly and I have no real need for it yet. Then I keep thinking sooner or later I wll grab an R34GTR so it might not be worth it anyhow .... but I never know what I'm doing one minute to the next :wave:

can YOU spin the wheels in every gear?

It's called a burnout :D:mellow:

Look at the end of the day peeps they made one of each to accomodate every type of driver, why are you all saying "oh mines better cos its............" each to their own, depends on what you use it for! :)

but can u clutch kick?

Don't need to clutch kick with the RB30. Put the foot down and it lights up the rears. :D

I've never been that much of a boy racer to clutch kick. In fact I've never done it in the R32. The old VS 5ltr 5speed commodore I ownder prior received lots of 'clutch kicks' as it didn't have the balls to get the arse end out by simply applying power when leaving a corner.

My auto 33 hasnt had any trouble keeping up with Trick's GTR on some of the more spirited hills runs. (No I'm not saying I'm faster, just that I can keep up without pushing it 100%) My guess is that some of those sesions are as hard as you should want to push the car on public roads, but if you were at the track that might be a different story.

A well set up auto will have problems on some some race tracks, but through the adelaide hills its never held me back or made me nervous with strange shifting

maybe Joel, but apparently the R34 ECU does all the shifting work and the trans will not functon without it. Abo Bob off these forums tried to change ECU, but couldn't get the trans out of limp mode with the ECU disconnected.

hrmm I wonder if the R34 steering wheel can be bolted up to the old R32 to offer steering wheel shifting. :D

sound like opening a big can of worms to me...

The auto is completely predictable, so why do you need buttons on the wheel?

put it in drive and steer with the go pedal...

Guy understands what i mean... :)

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
