Yeah, took me about a week to figure that out! Thought they were for the stereo (as mine wasn't working when I got it)

Just to add a twist to the thread, what different techniques do people use to drive with there tiptronic?

Just smash through at open throttle

Or back off when you change

not being super awesome racecar driver or machanic ... id say open throttle as your ecu would provide retard for gear shift in tip tronic? but i could be wrong, i dont use the tip tronic at all.

Just smash threw the gears at the limiter... hearing the stagea backfire was one of the coolest things of owning one...

and down shifting at high revs and hearing the burble and popping sounds out the back as the revs dropped got a few odd looks as people has no idea what was going on...

I tried the back off before changing.. but i felt it was way to rough on the gear box.. back off change gear slam for down.. didnt feel right to me..

Bad point was forgetting your in trip tonic mode and your on a long drive, as it down gears for you at a stand still.

Go to take of at the green 1st gear would be bouncing of the limiter real fast haha

Quick slap of the gearstick slingshots the car into second

I use manual mode in my PM35 most of the time around town, I don't lift off on up shifts, downshifting is cool as the ECU takes care of rev matching for you.

I suffer the same bad point as RBPOWA. Still trying to figure out how to trick the ECU to allow brake and throttle to get the toque converter up to speed for launches.

      There's probably an underlying issue with the A/C system too. I recently fixed mine, now it's fully control by the Haltech and car's factory HVAC controller  Have a squiz here:

      And by the way, I've also checked the ECU diagnostic numerous times and got a bad O2 sensor code and initially an Ignition Primary code, which is why I replaced the O2 sensor and all the ignition components (coil packa, plug and loom). No codes have been coming up lately despite the ongoing issue.

      Hey pber13, unfortunately still no luck. At this point the following has been done with little or no success: - Spark plugs replaced, gapped to 0.8mm - Splitfire coilpacks installed to replace originals - Replaced Ignition Coil/Coilpack harness with a new genuine nissan one - New fuel filter - Replaced AFM/MAF sensor - Injectors have been thoroughly cleaned with an online flush (without removing) - Upper engine and inlet decarbed - blew tons of black smoke out, cleared the carbon deposits from the top of the engine and exhaust.  - IACV removed and thoroughly cleaned with carburettor cleaner - O2 sensor replaced with new and genuine one -  Smoke test revealed no vacuum leaks - Healthy compression test of 160psi across all 6 cylinders Overall the car does run a lot smoother now, no backfires between gear shifts like it did originally... but the rough idle when warmed up is still there. It may not even be a misfire but simply a rough idle. Seems crazy to me that so many people have had this issue and seemingly no one has gotten to the bottom of it, or at least never bothered to post if they did! Hope you have more luck than I did pber13, I'm at a point now where I'm just going to try to ignore it unless it gets worse. Would love to fix it but I've genuinely run out of ideas of what it could be.

      I got the full frenchys kit too. Really awesome kit. Easy to install my only complaint was the hardlines I think could be routed differently (I modified mine) but I realise the kit needs to suit multiple applications. This was the hard lines before I modified them. They were touching the wastegate pipe. I ended up reducing the distance between firewall and first bend. The made it so they tucked along the frame rail.

      Deeve, I don't suppose that you've made any progress on this? My Stagea has the exact same problem, and just like you, I've read through as much as I can online, with no real progress. My car isn't throwing any codes at all, which is a little frustrating. I've changed plugs, checked the wiring and harness. A new MAF gets here next week, but I'm not hopeful it will solve the issue.
