Quicker Auto Shifts

[chadr33]

Hi all,

I have come across some information that will be an absolute Godsend for those out there with an AUTO r33, I have done this mod myself and can tell you it will definitely quicken up your shifts for $0.

O.K here goes, on the inside front, drivers side, of the engine bay, facing the engine fan are 4 plugs on a bracket.

The TAN coloured plug is the one you want.

Find the red wire on this plug and cut it.

You can put a switch on it if you want,I did, which will allow you to switch your shifts from hard to soft.

Although I am told, its not as fast shifting as the valve body upgrade, the difference is very noticeable, Going around a corner at under half throttle my r33 chirps when it hits second.

Give it a go, it works wonders.

Disclaimer:-Do at your own risk as I am not a mechanic, and don't have any degree I am simply passing on this awesome info (I got from a mechanic) to fellow skyliners, and am void of any responsibility if anything were to go wrong with your car. (It sux how much you got to cover yourself these days)

so the million dollar question, is...

what does this wire do?

there's no point cutting a wire without knowledge of what you are doing. you don't think people in bomb squads cut random wires when they are disabling bombs, do you?

dont be a pussy, cut the wire

[WazR32GTSt]

i have no reason to - i have a shift kit

but i would hate for someone to cut an unknown wire and have something die on them

just some healthy scepticism.. nothing wrong with wanting to know why...

haha nah man your right i was just joking .. lol nah i wouldnt go cutting something on my car if i didnt know wat it did

haha nah man your right i was just joking .. lol nah i wouldnt go cutting something on my car if i didnt know wat it did

So you do know what it does?

[xr8eater]

is this for real!

have you followed the wires to see where they go?

[DJRIFT]

id also like to know what it does and what wire it is on a r32 auto?

[Dome69]

on my 33 ive found those plugs but i do not have tan plug can u tell me counting from the top of the engine

i would like to try and trace the wiring but id like the correct wire

[mr_crust]

any got an engine bay pic and can put a circle around the plug so i know which one it is ...im intrested to know what it does...

and with harder shifts do you think it will cause any damage to the auto, as the shifts are a lot more harsh ??

EDIT: HERE IS A MY R33 ENGINE BAY PIC (OLD PIC) CAN SOMEONE CIRCLE WHERE I SHOULD BE LOOKING

[mr_crust]

thanks SECUR1TY for pointing that out..now can anyone give an explaination on what this red wire does ??

[SECURITY]

i wouldnt have a clue mate.

after exams ill follow it around, maybe even wack a multimeter to it and see what it tells me.

[Panikin]

The wire you are talking about is listed on the wiring diagram as one of the feedback for the Auto to tell the Ecu when it is shifting this would cause a similar problem to using aftermarket Ecu's. No feedback = harsh and erratic shifts as the ecu will not retard the power with out the Auto telling it to do it.

I will definately not be doing this crazy D.I.Y. you can make your own decisions.

[mr_crust]

doing this mod is BS.. the shifts would put sure excessive wear on the gears it would smash the box within weeks

[WazR32GTSt]

surely this is nonsense.. just a quick way to damage your car in the search for a cheap modification

mods... i vote for closing this thread

Moved to General for further discussion. Something that seems potentially unfounded shouldn't be in the FAQ section just yet.

[ix9]

What kind of feedback does this measure? G-sensor? Accelerometer? I've got a blank

[**JaR**]

dont be a pussy, cut the wire

haha

meh, ive already killed one auto box. if i kill this one... shift kit.
