hi guys,

recently purchaced a series 2 r33 auto. was considering doing the whole shift kit thing but my car seems to have some of the characteristics i have read that you get once it is installed!

It spins its wheels into second. At lower speeds changes are a little harsh espessially when the power button is on, and when i am manouvering in car parks (5-10km) the revs go up and down (does that sound like the gears searching) and makes the car sort of surge on and off a little.

im starting to wonder if it is already done? does the gear box still let off that pop sort of noise between gears if the shift kit is done? i was told its ingnition cut between gears to preserve the box (a factory setting).

the previous owner was a chic and the car was fairly stock, and i couldn't imagine she woiuld have done it! what do you guys think?

there is actually a wire you can cut to get the same effect. its not really recommended though.

i think user secur1ty (or whatever his name is) posted it up agesss ago.

maybe check that out?

sounds like it is low on fluid if it is hunting, service ASAP.

I prefer the attitude of RVO too knox, and TJ had his trans built there. I have heard more good things about RVO every day, and have heard the opposite about Knox

      Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf

      Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.

      Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.

      Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
