ok well im new to skylines (owned an s14 and currently a 180) and someone is keen to swap an auto 4 door 34 gtt for my car and some money. Im a bit concerned about the km's. its a 1999 with 150,000 ks or there abouts but is pretty much stock and never run more than stock boost. should i be concerned about such high k's on a 34?

also how are the tiptronic autos. it has the paddle shift. anyone had any experiences with these?

thanks

I absolutely love my tiptronic R34 - the only people who don't like them are ones who haven't driven them :yes:

Never again stall at the lights or stuff up your launch, never miss a gear again, you can change gears in the middle of a corner when hammering through the hills without your hand leaving the wheel, rev out longer in each gear, etc etc.

And I haven't done the valve body upgrade yet, but this makes the gear changes even quicker and harder. Add an uprated stall converter and no manual will come even close to keeping up with you with the same power.

Plus you can drive like a nanna when you want to just putt around in full auto mode. :P

I have had a triptronic and manaul 34. Triptronics are nice, but the shift just didn't really do it for me. I much prefer the manual. If your happy with triptronic buy one, but make sure you don't just take other peoples word for how good they are as it might not suit your driving style.

Tiptronic's good mate! Gets off the line bloody quick too. I was specifically after the tiptronic when hunting for a car.. i do mainly city driving. Now time to get a MV shift kit for it and burn some tread :P

    • It might be worth having a good look at the chassis behind the bumper then; most people prefer the series 2 look so it might have been changed to cheaper parts as part of an earlier repair
    • The car itself a series 2. I was just curious about the headlights and just wanted to confirm that they were series 1. Good to know the rest of the front end is series 1. It’ll be easier for me to find parts on the aftermarket side of things lol
    • If you've wired up the coils & injectors properly, & have the neo CAS loom for the trigger, it should all work. The VCT works the same way so just different plugs between s1 & neo. Assuming DBW if no IAC. Don't bother with the stock boost solenoid with g4x.
    • THERE IS NO IAT SENSOR ON ANY SINGLE TURBO RB. And the one on an RB26 is not for "engine control" - it's really too big and too slow and is only used for over-temp alarming (as far as I can tell). Anyway, you don't have one. You want/need one for the Link, then you need to buy one, find a spot for it, and wire it in. You do know that the stock boost solenoid is not capable of "control", right? It is merely on or off, for the low boost (5 psi) and high boost (7psi), which the ECU enforces mostly based on gear. The stock solenoid is not for PWM control and is not plumbed up in a way to provide it. If you want to control boost properly, then you need a proper MAC valve. And yes, you can wire either of them direct to the ECU. Well, I assume you can - I don't know what the boost solenoid pins on the plug and play Link are capable of. They really should be as capable as any normal Link - but seeing as it is plg and play, it might be limited to stock functionality. Read the doco.   You really do just want to plug stuff together without understanding how it works, right? I can't help you there. I don't know the plug types or pinning on half the stuff you're asking about. If I had to do it I would sit down with the wiring diagrams, the car/looms and a multimeter and work out what is what.
