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:

    • 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 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
