Yes I am.

I had decided to go nitto invo, called up earlier to make sure they had stock and they dont :( they have offered me yokohama advan sport v103 for $210ea which I think is pretty reasonable. So unless someone has had a bad experience and can tell me to stay away that's what I will be going with

Did you try St George Tyres for the invo's?

They are listed on FleaBay now so hopefully have stock. Cheaper on their web site though, showing the 245/45/18's at $175 each (bargain!).

Like the Dunlops Dale mentioned, they too can be rotated onto any corner which is great for wear.

I found it easier to install by flipping the car upside down. No idea why the picture is upside down. Shows up the right way on my phone and everything else

Gave them a call they do have stock. $185 fitted and balanced. Might give them a go then

How do you find the throttle cable. Have you had any ecu issues following this mod. This is one mod I would like to achieve next

Josh is running a full "Wire in" Adaptronic ECU now; This would be near on impossible on an OEM ECU.

I'd rather see Adaptronic support the OEM throttle, so it can be made to operate in a completely linear fashion (what you ask for at the pedal; you get at the TB).

Then it will be a complete solution.

As dale said you will need a full after market ecu. There has been no issues as yet. Quite a fan of it. The only negative some people may have is that the gear uses the throttle through the standard ecu to control it. What this means is that in auto mode it uses speed to change gears rather then throttle and engine. The positive side though is that it doesn't hunt around for gears on the freeway etc which I love. Also with my combination it shift faster then if does normally. Manually the car drives heaps better.

So will it actually kick down in auto at all?

Are Adaptronic interested in properly integrating the OEM throttle, or have they not been approached about it?

It will kick down via manual mode, or as if goes down to lower speeds it changes down automatically.

Craigs was tuned using the standard throttle

First impressions? I guess you haven't had much of a chance to try them out properly.

Yeah I haven't been for a proper drive yet. And had wheels in the back I didn't want flying around the car. But I can say they feel super smooth and are very quiet.

Hopefully get to drive it a but more tomorrow. The big test will be launches at the track on Wednesday

well the first night at the drags since being tuned wasn't a success, but i thought i would post a video here anyway.

the car had two issues, one that it wouldnt build boost on the line and second was hte gear box was over heating (tranny cooler will be fitted very soon) so it was changing up gear by itself and not holding in third like i told it to.

Best time 13.8 170km/h

      ER34 AT ECU and HKS SLD pins

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      That’s the one. Yeah, the seller has confirmed the base ECU is from a manual car.    To be honest, I’m only worried about the TCS light being illuminated due to registration here in NL - unsure on rules. Back in Japan, we weren’t allowed to have any permalit error-related lights (or so my shaken guy said).    Looks like this Nistune is the way to go then, appreciate it GTSBoy, and the others that chimed in.

      ER34 AT ECU and HKS SLD pins

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There is no impact. Granted, mine is in an R32, so there are a couple of other things going on, but.... my auto ECU came with the auto engine. Bolted it up to the manual gearbag and suddenly the TCU is just spare parts along for the ride. The ECU doesn't (really) care. Nistune is the fixer of all wrongs. I have no ABS CU or traction control. That would be a recipe for fault codes and permalit check engine light. But....just go into the diagnostics pages and turn them off. Presto, ECU no longer cares that it can't talk to those CUs. If you're worried about the TCS light being lit on the dashboard for some rason (that I am not catching right now), then.... remove the globe. No-one needs the TCS anyway. That is what throttle control is for. I certainly don't have it - haven't missed it in 12-13 years or so. Never wanted it.

      Thank you Duncan, and I will say, before reading GTSBoy’s response, this was more or less my logic.  I can’t argue with that. The part I couldn’t get past was thinking that the speed sensor in the 30A was replacing whatever was in the AT transmission before, and therefore completing the prior circuit.   The other thing that I failed to mention was that, across all HKS documents, despite mentioning compatibility with AT R34s, there is no mention of a different pin. These Japanese instructions appear to predate early man, so there’s always room for error.    I’m speaking with the seller of this R34 GTT ECU with Nistune at the moment. It’s pretty cheap and eliminates the possibility of me soldering my fingers to the ECU when installing the board myself. I am yet to confirm whether the base ECU is from an MT or AT car, so the question is: When using an MT ECU in an AT car, and then losing the TCU part, are there any other implications?   Another thing I’m not sure of is whether I can pass local regs with a TCS warning. Of course, swapping between ECUs is a fairly simple task.
