I still don't get how LC makes any difference to the gear changes. I'm running LC5 and it's no different to my old LC2.

Its a whole different piece of TCM software. Its like upgrading say from Windows 95 to Windows 7. All the clutch engagement ramps for normal driving, shift points, apply pressure maps - everything is different - so there is lots of difference in the gearchanges.

Ok. Driving the car today the shifts seem smoother. No screeching from 2nd to 3rd when a little cold so that's good. Still need to adjust the cc and tp slightly but overall its much better. Smoother and quieter shifting. Well worth the upgrade to NIS-006.

Agree, since you installed LC4 on my car it is very smooth on light throttle take off....old LC? was very jerky.

I installed the 'kb15b lc4 stock' map and the shifts are definitely smoother, most noticeable is that the lurching while de-accelerating has completely gone

I haven't installed any of the launch control maps and am still using my factory vdc-r lc3

Though there are a few changes - lc3 was activated with everything in r mode before the upgrade, but now I can launch with suspension in soft mode and in full auto mode

Seems a bit more aggressive and was able to run a 3.1 0-100 in auto mode with it short shifting 1st. Must have been a fluke or vbox anomaly because I couldn't replicate it - next runs were 3.3 and 3.4 in manual and auto mode again short shifting

Going to stay with lc3 as the 3200rpm launch still gives me far too much wheelspin, and ill wait for Cobb to release user selectable launch rpm

further update

driving to work in stop start traffic was so much smoother, i actually found myself leaving it in auto mode and wasn't getting the lurching changing 1st to 2nd on very small throttle openings. I was very suprised how much it has improved

i have read lc5 software is even better for auto mode and will hold 3rd a bit longer, and that's really all the auto mode is missing

Nissan dealers really should have rolled out some kind of continual software upgrade for existing owners. In fact the r35 is the only car (dc and semi manual) i can think of where i haven't got software upgrades during scheduled servicing

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
