Hey guys,

Well I bought an R33 auto coz im lazy (arent we all) but I'm kinda missing changing gears :D

Was thinking about doing a manual conversion, but like I said I'm lazy so I dont want to get stuck in traffic and have to do it all myself!

Anybody got any thoughts on putting in a tiptronic transmission? Is it even possible? I know it was an option on the R34's but how would I go slapping one in an R33??

Any feedback much appreceiated :(

Cheers

Haha sorry, No idea actually. I don't thnik tiptronic would have the same affect as you still only have 4 cogs. I'd go the manual conversion instead of tiptronic. Just my idea but yeah, much more fun in a manual, especially a turbo

I think there was a sequential shift kit floating around somewhere. Not sure what company, and i think it was for a WRX - but that could be a possibility?

sorry, but i don't know about auto to steptronic conversions...

i have been thinking about this too as mine is auto. I think it will cause alot of problems trying to get it working properly electronically speaking. I dont know if the 34 tiptronic box has its own ecu to the main one, but it would need something to tell it what to do.

I think putting a r34 ecu in the 33 would cause problems too. I would like to hear if someone has had success doing this though

do much electronics to muck around with and will cost you a arm and a leg with the auto electrician the r34 triptronic has its own ecu which would also have some connections to the r34 main ecu which would cause problems. Too much ****ing around..also you would need the console for the gear stick made up etc cost extra money too..My 2 cents

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
