Hi Abo,

So what do you think of the tiptronic transmission?

I'm thinking of selling my R32 and getting an GTT.

But the only ones available on the market right now are autos... (I'm from Malaysia)

Any thoughts?

How does it perform on track day?

I like it. I always use the tiptronic buttons and it's quite enjoyable. It took a month or two to get used to it but I'm fine now. It's good on the track too. I've been a couple of times. One thing I guess is that it sucks a few extra kilowatts from your motor so you need more for the same level of performance and also engine management is not so clear cut. Manuals you just buy a PFC and that's that. The only thing I think I can reliably use is the Greddy emanage.

Haven't got to that yet though.

Your AFR’s have lots of potential from about 5000rpm, you look a tad rich there. (When my coils actually fire) My car really hammers at 5000rpm to redline. E-manage is a piece of piss to tune, especially if you’ve already had a dyno run and can back calculate the required duty cycle based on your current injector cycles and the AFR readings.

You use the bottons on the track abo? I find the buttons a pain the back side.. but then again the track that I went on has a few twisties. :thumbsup:

The triptronic gearbox definitely suck quiet a few extra kilowatts tho.. :) But more fun..

ed: I wish.

Yotis: Use the buttons all the time mate, that way when you are on the track you will be in sync with your car.

I was out on Wakefield which is quite twisty the other day and had no problem using the buttons.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
