Quicker Auto Shifts

[SECURITY]

im trying to figure out how i'd get my car to change gears quicker for drags and track work.

what can be done?

You get a valvebody upgrade from MV Automatics in Adelaide. I had it done. Absolutely awesome.

They do exchange so you buy it and put it in then send yours back for a partial refund. There's an old group buy thread about it with heaps of info.

as per my review above, i can highly recommend the MV automatics stage 2 shift kit...

oh, and just for your info, a "valvebody upgrade" and "shift kit" are the same thing

awesome. thanks guys.

i was thinking more along the lines of playing with the auto box computer.. but i guess a valve body upgrade is just as good.

[WazR32GTSt]

unfortunately there's not the knowledge out there to do that with the auto computer... not like they do with commonwhores and falcons

everyone that tunes skylines focuses on manuals unfortunately!

i got my box rebuilt with bigger/stronger internals

at Dynamic Race Transmissions at Penrith

still with auto valve body but shifts hard/fast

[WazR32GTSt]

so you got a shift kit, as above...

[FATAZZ]

not if you call a valve body upgrade a "shift kit"

my valve body is original.

just the clutches n synchros inside the box are different.

i will be going back for the manual valve body

and little black box to intercept the auto g/box

computer so i can run a powerFC.

He does the same as MV automatics in that aspect.

I Just started of with strengthen my box before going

manual valve body.

Not sure if its any better then just a valve body upgrade

but it sure is better then stock.

what does a manual valve body do to the auto boxes?

and how much did the box rebuild cost you if you dont mind me asking?

[WazR32GTSt]

"manual valve body" = stage 3 shift kit

(from what mike at MV automatics has told me)

this means that the gear stick controlls what gear you are in via 1-2-D-o/d and only changes when you change the position of the gearstick

also, RSTME, as far as i was aware, the solenoids which are commonly changed to help with shifts, are part of the valve body, aren't they?

and the most important question is also for RSTME:

do you have any more info on this "black box" which supposedly allows you to run a powerFC? who makes it? what exactly does it do?

thanks
