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

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
