I am in Brisbane, and I have such a turbo, ripe to be hiflowed. Housings and centre section in prime cond, just has a clicky bearing. How much are you offering for this alleged 'purchase'...?

I just used a selftapping roofing screw, they have a reallly flat head too so sits flush in the limited space there

would imagine flames would give you 1000x street cred in semi rural area....?

I tried turbosmart kompact, its way smaller inside than stock bov and gave me turbo flutter. Thought it was shite, snd ditched it, put stock back on. Small hole is 'slight leak' making the on/off of bov smoother but less responsive. Plug it up as scotty says, better from a performance point of view.

saw something similar in a 'foreign film' recently, only with a purple dildo fitted in the business end. The user had good aim, i'll say that much.

Agreed, if issue is happening with timing set where it should be, don't 'solve' it by advancing timing. Could well be auto trans pressue issue though, if not engaging overun clutch properly to keep engine revs up when going to closed throttle? I think, anyway, its what mine is doing and the issue i'm looking into.

I was extremely careful to measure sizes and allocate to right chambers as per workshop manual so hopefully not but anythings possible.

Yeah but would be surprised if cusco bushing has same dimensions as oem. Anyway poly bushes aren't usually a force-fit, it should judt push in by hand without that much effort. Measuring with verniers will tell you soon enough.

Clearly seller is meaning 'engine is forged' in the other sense of the word....

Isnt that a cusco upper arm, not stock? But on oem arms yes u remove internal metal ring and fit superpro bush straight into bare arm(on r33 gtst)

Ask to see room at hotel, steal toothbrush kit from bathroom while viewing room, then tell them u don't like 'the vibe' of the room and don't check in. Raid salvo's bin and nab old t shirt. Result, free tools for headlight mod. But agreed, thread title could be 'broke-ass mods' or similar. Anyway, 2 faves are, plug up bypass hole in base of bov for more responsive throttle, and 3in pipe into rubber intake mods. Cheap n good.

I thought it was stupid Windows 8 issue not sau, as I have the same problem posting on extremelysexysex.com.....I mean, another website... but yeah yeah the bbcode thing seems to work fine for quote/paste/attach..

there's no replies below.......oh wait daaang. You win this round Benc34

thanks man that's appreciated, guess I would need to hook up a pressure gauge and do some testing then. I spoke to an auto trans workshop today about it and his feedback was that something wasn't sealed right and pressure was draining away, causing it not to engage. It could well be, although I was pretty careful to make sure everything lined up right and put back in correctly. I really don't know anything about auto's other than what I'm slowly learning from the workshop manual so extensive troubleshooting is out of my depth. The loss of engine braking in 3rd makes the car worse overall to drive really as it's lacking feedback to part-throttle, so worst case will remove valve body and reinstall the original springs.

damn, posted before I was finished....in the attached instructions I only did the highlighted yellow sections, not any of the other parts that involve dismantling the trans. Can anyone see anything in the instructions that might cause 3rd gear no longer having engine braking? Tried to contact Transgo directly to ask them but wouldn't you know it, can't find any email address for them, only a US phone number.

so did it on the weekend, time consuming but easy enough. Shifts are snap-fast now, I wouldn't want it any firmer. Only bad thing I've found is there's no longer any engine braking in 3rd gear (overrun clutch?) although 1st and 2nd still have engine braking. A bit weird in that the first time I drove it, on the way home there was engine braking in 3rd gear 'pulsing', like going on/off in maybe 1 sec intervals, when getting down to about 1500rpm, but now none at all. Thought it might be a solenoid playing up but I've run through the auto diagnostics and no error codes being thrown. transgo.pdf

Thanks for your photo.

thanks man, yeah not expecting miracles from it but it was cheap from the US, $92 delivered. Main issue I have with the trans is the slow change from 2-3 which the kit apparently addresses to some degree. I did see the accum springs in the workshop manual and wasn't sure if they were held in or will fall out so thanks, will be aware of those.

yo so bought one of these kits http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Nissan-Skyline-Pathfinder-RE4R01A-Automatic-Transmission-Transgo-Shift-Kit-/221468393075?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item33908b7e73 to sharpen up the shifts a little. Car is a s2 r33 with RE4R01A trans. Doing this with the trans on the car still so will only be doing the valve body upgrades, not the sealing rings. Have downloaded the workshop manual for the re4r01a trans and seems pretty straightforward, just wondering if anyone else has done this so far and has any tips on doing this? One concern is the manual details dismantling the trans upside down to when it is in the car, so not clear if springs/balls will fall out everywhere when I put the valve body off while under the car. Thanks

Wow thats weird... There was a dude started exactly the same thread about 4 months back, with the same username as you......waaaaaaait a second...

Lets just say, i would replace every other bush with poly first before doing these.

Done, and no difference noted. My rubber ones were still in very good nick though.

You massive perverts....... But sure, will pm to u

That sounds extremely anticlimatic.

You should keep it stored in the end of the tailpipe.
