Mildly modded skyline GTT as daily driven car?

[atermizi]

for clutch u need to try and THAT Particular clutch thru traffic jam or at least start stop traffic, a friend of mine use HKS triple plate..people from outside think that he cant balance clutch like tunggang kuda haha

 

[grayfox]

im running on manual R33 GTsT daily..kete pi pasar also using this, full tank can go arnd 350km+-, nowadays full tank is arnd rm120+- as ron97 is getting pricey.. deymn...

hi fellow enthusiasts....

its me again... been looking for a good GTT and damn, it really takes a lot of time and effort...

as i read from the forums, it mentioned that an AUTO GTT cant take Apexi PFC as replacement ECU... anyone can verify this? and if the car were to be pumped RON95, the stock ECU will automatically retard itself incase of knocking?

the car that i am looking at is currently a Auto GTT, only mods will be the HKS open pod, straight flow exhaust and a FATT Timer... kekeke.... since the previous MT GTT didnt materialised, and taking all considerations, decided to go for AT.... wifey need to drive as well... no choiice... hahahah

pls advise!! thanks!

Yes Power FC does not work with the slush box ER34s. Some stock auto GTTs are running on RON95, they didn't report in any issues. I'll stick with RON97.

a friend bringing in NISTUNE , a direct replacement for gtt ecu but fully programmable. can use on gtt auto.

PowerFC won't work with auto cars as mentioned by the rest. Namely because I think auto ECUs have to be able to manage the countless points at which the gearbox changes up or down and then retard ignition timing accordingly. Basically replicate a manual driven car with foot off throttle when clutched in to change gear and mimic that in addition to managing the tuning aspect of the car's engine. And for that the PowerFC isn't capable I guess.

I can't really say I know much about tuning but someone here could. I have a few books on tuning but they ran away from home :hmmmm:

may i know how to obtain this NISTUNE?

 

[Dr.D]

well u cant either buying from ausi nistune, or go to UMS puchong to order

i use GTT manual daily..around RM50 per week of 40km daily driving..standard everything..the key is not to go to "boost rpm" (when ur turbo start spooling) everytime

for daily driving i used ron95 no knocking whatsoever..some people say we need to avoid it bt i think Rb25 can use ron95 and above in standard form.

ohh btw, skylines have big fueltank

How come JB monster drink only 50hengget per week??? Cabutttttttt!!

Please avoid RON95. Crap fuel we getting here. Equivalent to RON92. We tried tune a car for RON95, it is possible but can really see the knock values higher than expected.

I drive a quad plate and although it's not a daily driver, I don't see why it can't be driven daily if need to. I've driven it to work and back a couple of times including after office traffic jams and stuff (Klang to UMMC) without breaking a sweat.

It's an OS Giken quad plate which is as light as OEM I might say. Had an HKS twin plate which was a bitch to drive in traffic jams though others may be okay with it.

So it depends on the brand/type of clutch as well as how u drive.

It is relatively cheap to daily drive a performance car (cheap means bearable, though u obviously can't compare it to a Myvi laa..). And like what V-Spec has mentioned, it gets expensive if u start to mod it.

Erm.. Why would u have a twin plate clutch? Buying a modded car I suppose? Be prepared to spend some for wear & tear mantenance.. Which may be just the regular fluid changes (engine, differential, gearbox oils, radiator fluids etc) or could include more expensive things like tyres, brake pads, engine overhaul etc).

I'd suggest those who intend to buy these cars to get a stock standard car if possible as maintenance cost would be fairly minimal and u don't get the bug to mod that quickly (maybe).

Good luck in ur search and hope u enjoy ur ownership of the Skyline. Join us on drives.. Which is almost weekly thanks to the cravings of our Ketua Darjah..

You're using quad plate? Never knew that bro. Can test around the carpark next time? Someone offered me a quad plate sometime back but I didn't dare buy it because even with triple plate my cousin broke his box what more quad plate. Rather run twin plates, and let the clutch take all the abuse rather than the box. But still curious how it drives lah.

i have to agree on that

 

[ek_elleh]

can rb26 with apexi PFC use ron95??

 

[reccaoji]

i have to agree on that

i thought skyline got this knocking sensor to prevent from knocking
