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.

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
