Guys,

i have just got myself a r34 4 door automatic with the tiptronic transmission aswell,

i got it really cheap because of this problem it has,

i have been told that it is a small problem something to do with the computer or something like that,

so im not exactly sure on whats wrong,

but any help would be much appreciated so heres whats happening,

the car always takes off in 3rd gear and there is no 1st or 2nd gear,

you can use the tiptronic but only to shift from 3rd to 4th and visa versa,

is this a small problem, i have also been told that it is quite common with the tiptronics,

can anyone tell me if they have had this problem before and how they fixed it,

cheers

jase

Hi guys.. I am a newbie! Anyway I am looking to buy a s2 stagea with the tiptronic auto trans. Is this the exact same trans in the r34 gtt?

I am wondering what sort of power the gearbox can handle before work needs to be done to it? And who in Sydney does work on these tiptronic boxes? And what sort of money needs to be spent.. if any.. to handle around 220kw @ the wheels. That is the power figure I am looking for.

Cheers for your help in advance guys!!

Was Auto that figure is with a manual...........when I had auto i think it's figure was about 215rwkw for memory........

Um go out to your car and just check your blue plate underneath bonnet and I can tell you if its the same as a r34gtt auto the number should read R401b or something like that for memory....

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
