The R34 GTT ECU and TCU are contained in the one unit.

I have had my transmission rebuilt and I'm told it can handle 300rwkw without needing the soft landing, ie timing drop, that the stock ECU does.

I was reading Sydneykid's thread on the SITC and thought perhaps I need a piggyback ECU that goes between the stock ECU and the coils.

Which ones do this? Unichip?

Then I had a brain wave.

What if I get a PFC and plug most of the wires into it so it can run the engine. Then run extensions to the signal wires that the TCU requires to run the auto transmission over to the stock ECU so that both the PFC and the stock ECU will be receiving input from all the sensors.

Any wires that are sending information from the stock ECU to the engine will not be connected. The wires that send information the transmsission would be connected.

What do you all think?

adam, the pfc will run an auto car. The only problem is flaring on the shifts as it doesn't pull back timing for the shifts.

I can't see your theory working but I am waiting to be proved wrong. :)

Why can't you just wait for darkhalf's boards? hehe

I did think there shouldn't be any clear reason with enough wiring to run both ECU's simultaneously it shouldn't work??

I haven't seen any previous mention of this on here..

Any reason why?? other than the ~$1000 pricetag of course. I guess for R34 they have a slightly different version of the autos.

The shifts wont flare on my car because my gears changes are too tight.

I know there is the odd R33 with PFC but don't R33's have a separate controller for the auto? What happens if I press the button on my steering wheel with a PFC and nothing else? Probably nothing cos it wont be connected to anything.

Adaptronic 440. It has a lot of integrated features which can save you money, ie boost control, serial input for a wideband, programmable outputs, plus some neat adaptive tuning features, ie with a wideband it can automatically alter a fuel map (though best results are done manually). Plus theres a flex fuel functionality if you're interested in e85.

Just be mindful that you're starting from scratch with ignition and fuel maps, so the learning curve is very steep. Although there are base maps available, they arent very good. You'll need to learn how to tune yourself, even in conjunction with a tuner.

i was looking at other options to have a true 4" intake without going down to 3" for the z32, or not having to run a z32 in the cooler piping thats all

Nistune is not limited to running Z32 AFM. You can install an R35 AFM sensor into a 1000mm drainpipe if you want and set Nistune up to run with that.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
