Liberty make transmissions for RB 25/26. basic unit is rated for 1500hp and next one up is 3000hp. Come in 3,4,5 speed and unlimited ratios. Clutchless. Prices are in USD but still seem way cheaper then any sequential. These things seem to be just about unbearable. Why isn’t any one using one in a GTR?

Supposedly those are drag-only and can only be shifted up. To go back down a gear requires going into neutral to reset the shifter then trying to rev-match your way into the desired gear.

Well I’ve sent them a message asking if the transmissions in question are streetable and what’s involved in fitting one. We will se what happens. I’m still surprised that none of the dedicated drag cars run them if they are a proven product in much much faster cars.

Surprised this hasn't been mentioned, they pop out of gear if you let go of the shifter. So yeah, hand off the shifter and your back in neutral. 

So no, not a streetable gearbox for this reason and all the other reasons listed above.

With the way people have to fight the steering wheel in these cars to keep them straight, I’d hate to be having to do that with one hand because of not wanting to end up in neutral if I use both 

also if you miss a shift, it’s a rebuild and you need to cut a big portion of the floor out to get everything to fit

It's totally streetable. It's just that the streets are pretty short and have lots of concrete barriers, lights and a return road.

So applicable... if you live life [drive?] a quarter mile at a time.

      @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.

      I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
