wolf 3d's in skylines

[MR R33 GTST]

Hi all i am just wonding if a wolf 3d would work in a r33 gtst auto ? also if yous know do u have to get a special one or can u just get any wolf and get it installed ? well thanks for your help

contact whistla on these forums, he's in VIC too and got his Wolf 3d installed in his R33. I think his was manual tho. Work was done by some rotary workshop from memory.

talk to SST_steve i think his nick is

post a wolf 3d message in the WA forums

hes sposedly the biggest seller of wolf in australia?

and when it comes to tuning them everyone goes to SST in perth

i have a wolf plug in in my auto r33 the only thing thats wrong with it is gear changing from 1st to 2nd is pretty hard and it holds gears longer i had mine supplied and fitted by peter at rank rotary in mentone ph 95851906

a mate of mine is selling a brand new plug in wolf with warranty etc all brand new in the box never used for 1300 i dunno what thats like price wise but it sounds ok to me..... if u are at all intrested it may save ya some cash... cheers Jon

That seems to be the problem with aftermarket ecu's in autos, the gearchange quality suffers. That's why I am going with the less than perfect solution of an SAFC.

gear change isnt a problem as long as you bridge across the plug for both the 3/4 throttle position (kickdown) and the TP sensor for shift points. These inputs go into the original ECU, then back out to go to the PCM.

Mine changes beautifully....

Hi i dont spose you have any pics of the plug that has to be bridged? did you do yours yourself?

[kjb_r33]

its the plug at the ecu, you just have to bridge some pins at the plug.

I have all the diagrams somewhere, ill have a look tomorrow and let you know, what i have here is the signals go from pins 38 and 57, i think they go to pins 14 and 5, but ill have to look at mine to be sure and see which one goes where.

thanks kjb_r33

That's the price you buy it from the "retailer", no savings there.

I too have a wolf 3D, my car is a manual. Also tuned at Rank Rotary, with some finner idle adjustments done at EAS Performance.

kjb_r33 id also appreciate the diagrams and process on how you did this as im putting a wolf3d in my auto r33 pretty soon.

Cheers

Just be careful you know what your doing..... Last thing you want to do is blow up your new ECU. They dont like shorts or spikes very much, and you shouldn't be using a conventional test light (you need and LED test light) around them.

[kjb_r33]

i didnt get around to it today, but the easiest way to do it, the way i did, is the check pins 14 and 5 with the nissan ecu connected, see what voltages they have coming out (use a digital multimeter, NOT analogue). one should have a voltage that increases from around 0 volts closed throttle to around 5 volts WOT. This pin is the sensor signal OUT to the PCM. Once you have found it, and you have your new computer ready to plug in, simply run a bridging wire from pin 38 to the one that showed the variable voltage.

Without this feed from the TPS, the PCM has no idea of throttle position, so upchanges and down changes will be erratic, AND, line pressure could also be low, which could cause slippage in the clucth packs and bands.

I think from memory that the 3/4 postion throttle switch also goes out to the PCM, for kickdown, but i'll have to check mine to be sure.

I'm not running the wolf, im running a motec m48, but obviously the principal is the same.

Hope this helps.

This wiring diagram is one of the best i could find, its large, (1.2 mb jpg) but very clear.

If you can, print it out on A3,.
