Its an auto shifter.

Pull up the fork and get it outta park, down to drive, push the fork in when in drive and it ratchets thru the gears 1, 2 and 3. Over drive is wired up to a little on/off switch near the snow / power switch.

Pull the old shifter off, position the new one, cut a hole in the tranny tunnel and run the cable thru. Some brackets courtesy of MV Autos adelaide where used. The cable setting and cutting the hole was the most difficult part.

It is certainly unique, and as u said, i dont think its for everyone lol.

Your install looks good with the manual surround. Iv got a BM pro ratchet in mine, i painted the case black as to not stand out so much but i like it.

Yeah thats cool how its black. Reason i wanted a mega shifter is cause the Pro Ratchet has been done before lol. But i havent seen one with the case painted black like that though lol. That very cool! :)

I got a bigger leather boot to sit around it to get rid of a lot of the chrome. Now it looks like the whole dash is coming out and will get painted in a colour a little less bright me thinks.

thinking of doing this sometime down the track

has anyone else done it or have any more pics?

are you guys running standard auto gear? or do you have manualized auto setups?

was thinking of going that route once ive finished engine mods etc, i hate how the auto kicks down off throttle would like to be able to hold a certain gear/more flexibilty possibly.

anyone have any comments on this?

3k stall and stage 2 shift kit is all mine has.

If ya wanna manualise it talk to Mike @ MV Automatics in SA.

If ya do manualise, dont get a megashifter. Pro Ratchet is easier to use. My megashifter is farking hard to punch around lol

Post your video here mate! :)

At Howie's request,

Here is the link to a video of my ratchet shifter getting used.

The switch to the right of the shifter is 4th gear, which is usually the o/d button on your stock T-bar.

Cheers to my brother for the camera work lol.

Let me know what you think.

i got a 4spd pro ratchett 4 my r33 do i need the button 4 overdrive or can i make it the 4th gear

You could in theory rig up the switch for the (on/off) overdrive by having it engaged when selecting the 4th gear, however, the mucking around ya gonna go through to get it sorted out properly IMO outweighs what its advantage its gonna have for you.

Be a lot easier to hook up a missile switch or a straight ON/OFF switch in the centre console area.

      Auto Electrician Workshop Recommendation for Reverse Camera Not Working CKV36 (SYD or WOL)

      By JoVo · Posted

      Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.

      to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it

      A31 Digital Climate Control

      By S1_C34 · Posted

      For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
