What do you mean by not holding 3rd gear Joe? In my old auto the overrun servo wasn't engaging so that the revs dropped when you took your foot off the accelerator. It was still in gear and the engine could still drive the wheels but the wheels couldn't drive the engine if you know what I mean.

usually when im in 3rd with the overdrive on it will hold 3rd like a manual does. with the wire cut, i put overdrive on as usual and it accelerates like normal, but as soon as i stop accelerating it drops to neutral.

any further updates on how the boxes are holding up after a few months of doing this???

box is fine. ive done a few runs with it and still feels fine... ive got a switch hooked up to mine so its on and off pretty often.

Maximas apparently have a similar thing. Its not quite the same, but some similar techniques could be used - such has having a micro switch setup so that you only get the hard gear changes when you have a WOT (wide open throttle).

Ok, after a bit of reading i found out how to do it, and you dont even need to cut the wire. Just unplug the little silver/grey box labeled 'JECS' near the fuse box (on the r32, not sure where it is on the r33).

Partial throttle changes were alot more chunky.. didn't notice a heck of alot on WOT, but i need to do a bit more testing in non-50k areas.

What does that jecs box do?

From what I understand its just a resistor - however when unplugging it you also break a circuit that controls a solenoid which sets the pressure in the auto boxes. By disconnecting the solenoid the autobox stays at full pressure the whole time. (or something like that)

so i gave this a shot in my r33 gtst tonight. thought why not if it doesnt work ill just wire it back up.

shifts are definatly firmer and quicker, when you give it some it feels alot smoother cause its not messing about thinking about changing gears.

with overdrive off (yellow light on in the dash) when you release the throttle it does knock it back into neutral. ive also found that when this happens and you are going around 70-80kph (downhill) the car tends to jerk on and off, like its trying to stop or change gears or something??

does this happen to you security?

anyone else have any ideas?

  • 1 month later...

i have a switch on mine like security does. its been on and off for a month or so and i havent had any problems with it.

i did get sick of it changing back to neutral when i have overdrive off and i stop accelerating, so i usually have the switch set to off so i get normal pressure and normal changes.

its probably ok for a quick fix until you get a mv valve upgrade. but id at least put a switch on it

I Dont Understand Why All You Guys Are Mucking Around With This Mod??????

For Under $300-$400 You can Get a Shift Kit Fitted To Your Car. Its Done Properly

And By Proffesionals. Cutting Transmission Wires Has'nt Been Tried And Tested.....

The Valvebodies Are Avaliable From Melbourne (Knox Auto's) or Adelaide (Mv Autos)

OK, someone asked about the viability of this cutting on an R34...and just today I got told about the MV Valve Body kits. Been wanting to do something to the gearbox for ages (tiptronic GT-t) but didnt know what/how and now that I know there's something on the market, could i get the contact info for MV Auto? Possibly e-mail too as i live in New Zealand. I am not fond of the cutting idea so i'd like to get in touch with MV Auto and ask them for specifics for the kits and shipping/DIY fitting instructions etc...

So far, quite a few people mentioned the kit on R32's and R33's but I've yet to hear about the effectiveness on tiptronic shifts for R34's.

Anyone got it done?

Cheers

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
