Morning all,

in the past few days i have noticed when in 3rd gear driving along normally, slowly increasing speed, the revs would drop by about 300rpm (ie: would just hit 4000rpm, then the car would drop to 3700rpm and have a hard time going back up)

Sorry i cant be more descriptive :)

any ideas?

also, the car is a auto, when im in tiptronic and shift to 3rd, it seems to take ages to actually disengage 2nd and engage 3rd, and when it does shift, it is quite rough.

again, any ideas??

Thanks a bunch!

I'd be thinking along the lines of the shift solenoids making rough changes...but the uresponsive changing could also be the electronic lock-up torque converter that the M-ATx box has. Normally it's completely disengaged when you're running tiptronic mode (you can see that on the highway going from D to 4, the revs will increase slightly)

I'd run a diagnostic of both the ECU and the transmission ECU and see if any codes are stored.

In 3rd gear lockup torque converter is not meant to engage.... :)

Correct me if I'm wrong :)

Ive lost my torque lock up at speeds over 80km.

will engage at lower speeds. but once i get above 80 it doesnt engage.

My de-acceleration seems to be a bit heavier as well. like theres more drag on the engine.

    • This car has run before on this z32 ecu can get the part number for you, I have tried with no AFM it didn’t change anything, I compression tested today 140-150 across all 6 cylinders, also set fuel pressure to 43psi. The only weird thing was cylinder 1 plug was black and fouled other 5 cylinders were just wet with fuel. Spun cas by hand and confirmed injectors are clicking 
    • Since you came here to ask for help, have you thought about answering our questions, that might help us lead you to why it was skipping, or have you given up on getting advice?
    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...
