Hey guys,

I recently joined this forum because in the states there are a few good places to get information but I found a lot of people that recommended coming on here. For the last few days I have been digging through a lot of posts on here and have come up with a basic notion but I would like to here from the guys that actually have r34 rb25det with a tiptronic transmission. I got extremely lucky and found a r34 neo rb25det front clip here in the state for a really good price and I am considering getting it but the fact that it is a tiptronic turns me off a little bit. What I wanted to know is just the overall ratings you guys would give this system. I have a room mate that has a rsx with tiptronic and it doesnt seem all that bad, but what worries me is the strength of it. I read that one guy was running about 250kw through his but it eventually blew. I would probably try to get mine up to running around 10psi on the stock turbo just because i dont want to stress out the transmission all that much. Also I was wondering if any more of you guys got that shift kit from the group buy and if that has been proven to strengthen the tiptronic at all. Last but not least I'd just like to know your honest opinions on this motor and tranny, hopefully the guys that have manual transmissions dont come in here and go crazy :P but any information you guys could give me woudl be a great asset. Thanks

woops and I wanted to know for those that have raised the level of boost what type of engine management are you using? I have read that a lot of the products out do not get along with the tiptronic all that much

all 4 wheel sensors? what's this fellow on about?

you might need wheel speed sensors for the traction control butterfly if you want to use it, but you can easily replace the whole throttle body on the neo for something else that doesn't use it - our just don't connect it..

i forgot to state that this will be going into a s13. now what i was wondering is if i could get away with sourcing a rb20/25 tranny bolting that to the motor and using the manual parts that are in my s13 shell to complete the transmission swap or am i just a retard and only scratching the surface? because the s13 shell has everything related to the transmission in it

If you are going manual... You should be able to get by with using the S13 pedals, R34 clutch master cylinder (required for a heavier clutch), the s13 lines and things -in fact you wouldn't be most of the neo parts ones anyhow as they are for the R34 shell.

Where you will have to adapt probably is use the slave cylinder line and slave clyinder from the rb25 gearbox, and also the cross member you may need up to suit S13. And a tailshaft made up as well (would need that for the auto anyhow would say)

You will probably have a few issues of working out which parts of the neo is wiring for the auto transmission, but most often its the auto has the extra crap for wiring, controllers, etc that in a manual is not required at all.

In the tiptronic there is probably more interface between the auto ecu and engine ecu (guessing here), so its possible without the auto controller hooked up in may go into spastic mode... In that case you might have to source a manual R34 ECU.

so i would need the r34 master cylinder and couldnt get away with using one from say an r33? the guy selling me the clip has the full original wiring diagram and extras taht he imported with the neo clip

edit: also if need be i can pick up a power fc to do away with the ecu

Have you done a swap and have experience with this? What are you supposed to swap the TB with?? What if his front clip doesn't even include the AT computer?

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.

      The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned.

      Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?

      I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
