From my knowledge... Any ECU will work in an auto 33 Skyline... They just don't change gears properly... The shift from 1 to 2 is HARSH!! And it holds gears too long and it doesn't kick down...

This is definately the case with the Wolf Plugin and more than likely the case with the PowerFC...

I'm in the process of working out which signals need to be brought across to the auto ECU to "help" with this problem... It will never be perfect though, but some gains have been made...

hey im pretty much in the same situation

haave an auto r33

i was wondering with the haltech ecu i think its the e6X

if ya can put that into an auto, i'll find out more info but

yeah at the moment thats what im goin to do with replacin the stock ecu

just got the t04E hybrid turbo

be doin front mount soonish

and will have to find someone who can do a custom manifold for a good price .

Yeh ive done some research into this aswell and found that NO stand alone management works properly with the automatic gearbox. There is no gear logic code (thanks sk) :(

Been in autos with a wolf and powerfc now, wolf was better but still too much for me.

We know that the only way to have control over fuel and timing on the automatics without any change in the gear logic etc is to use piggybacks - most commonly SAFC2+SITC. Ive been told by a few people now that tuning the SITC does not affect the autobox at all, making it the only device i know of able to controll timing properly on an autobox without affecting it.

Obviously this limits tuning capacity and capability,

by only having about 260rwkw (highest ive found on standard ecu with piggybacks) of power available, only +- 50% fuel cotrol and timing control of 5 increments (800, 2400, 4000, 5600 & 7200rpm) with adjustment upto +- 15 degrees.

We know the SAFC2 can work with a Z32AFM in an automatic, well pretty certain anyway :)

And that larger injectors CAN be used by tuning the SAFC2 but its still uncertain how well they will work and what problems will occur when only being about to controll the air/fuel ratios to run the injectors.

Thats bout all i can think of :wassup:

sst in perth seem to claim that the wolf plug in will work perfectly with no splicing on a r33 auto . does anyone have concrete info contrary to this ?

my fav autronic tuner in perth claims he can get an autronic shifting perfectly also . he also is working on a remapable nissan ecu replacement , using a different ecu modified to work in the r33 . Im inclined to belevie him on the autronic as he knows his shit and had some very hardcore s13 autos running them

arkon i have wolf in my auto 33 and steve convienently doesnt say anything about any shifting problems with the auto.......... but my gears hold much longer then they should the kick down didnt work properly and 1-2 gearchange is harsh

i bought this unit under the pretense it did work perfectly with the auto as that what a workshop in perth told me..... hmmmm

Yes I have been going through this for a while I currently have a Wolf3D but I still haven't got it installed as yet just waiting for my intercooler to turn up.

I have tried the Power FC and it was harsh I have tried the wolf but just with steve-sst base map it was harsh but not as harsh as the power FC still needs some tuning.

Now people are saying that there wolf ecu are not working properly with there auto ecu and the gear changers are still harsh, I really didn't want to hear this.

Maybe Auto Skylines are supose to stay stock :( and just look good.......................

When the gearbox changes gears it tells the ecu to drop the timing and/or fuel momentarily so that the power is dropped and the gearbox doesn't suffer on the change.

ECU's like PFC and Wolf don't do this so you will probably eventually blow up your box.

I have a chipped ECU in my R34 tiptronic.

how much of this could be controlled buy tuning the wolf , would some wolf installs be better than others ? or is it a matter of its just not possible because of hardware.

perhaps a manual conversion will come sooner rather than later

i am enjoying the lazyness of the auto though

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
