Have had a thought on this , any ECU gurus out there maybe able to help. The other day I reset the ECU and then went for a drive and found the problem was really bad. So I was thinking if the problem occours when engine is cold and also when ecu is reset , then the car would be running on the preloaded maps in these states and if a map was corrupt then this could be the cause? Correct me if im wrong , just assuming things from my limited knowledge.

Our 2000 GTB is doing EXACTLY the same thing , have spent $450 so far trying to find it , runs fine for the mechanics and no codes , fault is very intermitent.

well did a road trip to invercargill and ended up on some gravel roads so had a play with the DCCD , end result - works very well and no more noises , must have just needed some use. ;D

Thanks for replies guys ........... off to save pennies

www.processwest.com.au Did a search and found a couple of people on here have their gear. Just wondering what they like to deal with ? local agents ? quality ? Looks like some pretty top notch stuff.

Im in coffee industry , can ask around for barista work

Thanks for the replies , i think I will just leave it as is as I doubt I will be using the DCCD too much to justify any repairs.

I dont think I wana know the price to do that , will stick with wheel spin as it runs fine normally.

Nah not launching just hard acceleration in 1st gear can feel it change at about 20kph. Is there any servicing that can be done with it?

Hi Just wondering if someone can tell me if this is normal. Have accidentally knocked the thumbwheel for the dccd forward a coupe of times and found there to be alot of noises / clunking under the car. Also tried it just 1 stage forward in the rain and found under hard acceleration it would spin the rears as normal but only briefly but then you can fell a shudder as the drive transfers , not really a noise but just a shudder like a heavy clutch engaging under load. Does all this sound normal or is my paranoia correct and theres something wrong??

Sweet post up what you think when its all running. :

Nope totally stock except a rear section bolt on exhaust

Hi all My wifes GTB is having some issues and hopefully someone on here might be able to give me some insight before i spend $$ at the mechanics. When cold it idles very rough and almost stalls when driving it will randomly cough and splutter and limit revs to about 1900rpm also power light has been coming on sometimes. none of this has bought up any CEL's Have cleaned the AFM with no improvement. Car is a 2000 GTB E-tune. Thanks Thorpy

Anyone had any experience with these and are they any good? cutting required? lag?? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Car-parts-accessories/Performance/Turbos/auction-244080344.htm

Bugger , thanks for the replys tho. went out yesterday during the day and found running stable just on 1 bar , must have just been that it was a cold night that it crept to 1.2 .

OK when i got my type R it had the factory boost control disconnected and had a direct feed to the actuator with a boost tap that was closed so only running wastegate pressure ( about 0.5 bar ) Tonight I reinstated the factory boost control and went for a test , result , a constant 1.2 bar (17.6 psi) which made it go damn hard ;D and boost really quick but also chews the gas. So my question is does the factory solenoid operate as a failsafe , ie. if it looses power it will only run wastegate pressure? Because if it does what im thinking is put in a relay to switch off the factory solenoid and run low boost then flick a switch to close the relay and run high boost. Would this work and has anyone done this before?? any input appreciated . PS it runs a 3 port solenoid.

Yeah I was told that by a few dealers when iv been looking. Picked up my V4 of TM for under $10k , dont really care if prices go up as I plan on keeping it but always good to have something thats not depreciating.

Yes tis I , The legend returns , LOL ;D

Well "allegedly" the safc was tuned and the car made 250hp ATW on 8 psi. will get it dynoed myself but just wanting a safe boost level to get it set up on.

Hi have just purchasaed a V4 type R It has had a recent rebuild with forged internals and been tuned to run 8psi My question is what sort of boost can I run safely ? It has - 3 inch straight from turbo - VF24 - Walbro pump - SAFC - Stock everything else Any help appreciated , not after big power just a safe level for a bit more power.
