Hi mates

My friend just bought a R34 GTT Auto Tiptronic, after i went for a test drrive.we were kind of argued/discussed how to use the Tiptronic properly.?

I would say it just others auto car, when changeing the gear you don't need to put your feet off the accelerator.

However he disagreed that and said when changeing the gear it just like a MT without a clucth , you need to put your feet off the accelerator while you're changeing the gear.

So is anyone knows what is the proper process to use a Triptronic?

cheers

did you try not taking your foot off at all while changing? if you did this it probably would have been fine.

i would agree with you, as when you drive an auto you don't take it off... and tiptronic is a controlled version of auto?

meh, i'm not an expert at all so shall wait for someone who knows to reply...

Thanks rrrage, yup i did try put my foot on the accelerator while changeing gear, for the 1 -2 gears works fine, but for the 3 gear the car just like gear slipping.

e.g. when you drive a MT you release the cluch faster than you press on the accelerator!!

Anyone own a R34 Auto or knows about Tiptronic, please reply!

cheers

well having driven one of the BA model fords with their auto tiptronic version u dont have to take your foot of the accelerator as is with all auto cars whether they are tiptronic or just plain auto, that is my understanding so i shouldnt see why nissan has made it any different. When ur friend drives around he'll probably fool people into it being manual :rant:

      The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.

      It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....

      Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
