It's a separate board but it has a huge number of pins. It's not truly separate - it relies on a lot of the engine ECU's stuff to do it's job.

If you want tiptronic in the R32, your best bet is to get a whole Auto Neo engine and trans and put it in. It will make it better in every single way....except that it will be an auto instead of a manual, which will ruin it as far as I'm concerned.

I took great pleasure in removing the TCU board from my Neo's ECU and throwing it in the bin when we opened it up to put the Nistune board in it.

I'm only looking at it because I've got a dodgy knee and while I love a good clutch kick, it's probably not the best in the long run :P Might keep my eyes open for a Neo head and start prepping it to go on the 30 :thumbsup:

wut?

Bubba there are 2 types of bloke on this site. Those that have a skyline and those that do not. I think we have heard from several blokes in this thread that do not. thumbsup.gif

You get that consult cable up and working yet?

Indeed.

Yeah, we picked up a blazt cable that is doing the job :thumbsup:

i have a 1995 S1.5 R33 auto.... my car was putting out 225rwkw with a gt30 internal gated version. Ok, so now ive started to make more power, upgraded to a T65-25G, highmount 44mm ext gate running a power fc and mods to suit, my gearbox has a keas valve body, shift kitand manualised(3.5k worth of gear) it is now putting out 255rwkw on 17psi and so the fun begins. the clutches started to go on the dyno thus the low power figues, i rang around to have it rebuilt + a stall converter which im now looking at around 3.5k to do, and nobody can guarntee me that it will hold the power i chasing(350rwkw). You CANNOT beef up these boxes there is nothing available, so if your hunting 300+ at the bags, id look elsewhere for a box. im now sourcing and going to build a C4, its pointless spending big $$$ on an auto that "might not" hold out the power im after.

cheers.

Not sure if this will be of much help.

R34 non-turbo autos have a separate trans control unit to the ECU (Compared to the turbo model's all in one ECU+TCU). But in saying that you may have alot of work ahead of you if you wish to have it strengthened for higher power outputs.

The advantage is you will have tiptronic functionality.

r34 autos are weaker across the board i was told strictly to stay away from them, and as far as ive been told you cannot put an r34 auto into an r33

I suppose it depends - If he is running an aftermarket ECU - The TCU will still function somewhat independently.

"Maybe" is possible to use the TCU from a non turbo R34 to control an auto from an 34 GTt...

Just throwing some ideas around - I don't know if it will work though.

But there must be a way to make the 401b boxes strong as I'm pretty sure there's a guy in WA using a 4WD 401b box in a drag car...

So let me get this straight, at 225rwkw it was a standard auto and was doing fine or it had been modified already?

I was just looking on Calais Turbo's site and it took to no 19 to see a manual for the fastest ET in QLD.. Maybe the other 18 need to look here if the manuals are the quicker option as they must be missing something!

Just get a C4. You wont look back. Mine has held 475rwkw so far

MV Autos in Radelaide...or get a C4/TH350 if you want stupid power

MV Autos in Radelaide...or get a C4/TH350 if you want stupid power

Sent them an email asking the price of the valave body and shift controller to make the auto manual since i have a power fc and also what sort of power the standard auto would hold, here is there reply.

Brett

260rwkw if the transmission is in good working order.

A shift controller costs $295

Shift kitted valve body $385

+ a core deposit of $100 which is refunded when we receive your valve body back.

+freight. Will need postal address to give you a quote.

So let me get this straight, at 225rwkw it was a standard auto and was doing fine or it had been modified already?

the box had a KEAS shift kit in it, the same as the MV auto's one, except i had no shift controller and had no issues. seriously the best quote i have gotten so far is $3200 fully manualised box, built to handle 700rwhp using the keas kit(www.keas.com.au) + another 1500 for a cusotm built 8" pro drag stall converter from TCE. so your up for a good $5000 to build a decent RE4R01A box.

it ran day in day out with the shift kit and 225rwkw, but the clutches in the 3/4 clutch drum(3rd and 4th gear) always slipped, it was 2 much power for it, so after 2 yrs, it finally stuffed up when it was on the dyno and only hit 255rwkw when it should have made around 280rwkw.

so no matter how u look at it, the box wont hold big power without money thrown at it. my gearbox had 180,000kms on it, so maybe a low k's box will do better as long as you use good oil in it.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
