I have installed the manualised shift kit in my 33 a few months ago and I love it. My only dislike is 3rd (having no engine break).

Apart from this its insane. One of my mates recently decided to buy an auto over a manual purely for this setup.

who else has it and what are your likes/dislikes.

when you say manualised do you mean complete manualised auto? eg ratchet shifter, have to shift every gear just without clutch

or are you talking about just the valvebody for harder shifts?

Its actually a combo of both. I have the valvebody mod plus I have a the black box from MV which is basicly fully manulises the auto.

And yes I have a rachet shifter.

if you dont mind me asking how much was this setup? did it take much to install and get running? any pictures? how do you find it? what shifter are you using? etc

im very interested in running this setup but its hard to find people using it.

being in brisbane i cant get mv autos to install it. would it be difficult to do yourself?

cheers

There are some pics of my setup in this link, and others aswell.

I was lucky enough to get my full kit off an sau member who was selling off cheap. I got the whole kit for $560. Insalation is easy, when MV send out the parts they give you simple easy to follow insructions. It took 3 hours to put my whole kit in and I have never touched an auto tranny before.

The end result is a mega hard shift and instant responce, as soon as I select the next gear it engages, not like the standard shift where it lags for a half second or so.

at what rpm do you shift up gears?

At what ever you like, it is a full manual without a clutch now.

For daily driving it will be low rpm changes, and if I choose to put my foot down I can hold it as long as I want, as soon as I hit the shifter it engages the next gear.

did you install both(the black box & manual valve body) at the same time?

i meant to ask at what rpm does just the manual valve body change up gears WOT

and if you got any incar footage mainly showing shifting of gears,please post. very interested to see how it goes.

Yes I installed both the black box and valve body at the same time. You can run just the valve body and let the stock ecu do the shifting for you.

I don't have any incar footage but I will record some on my phone, PM me your mobile number and ill send it tho you.

yeah videos would be nice

so the actual valvebodies are about $350 usually if i remember correctly. how much are these black boxes?

a b&m shifter you could pick up for around $300ish also i guess. so its looking to be around $1000 all up if you install it yourself.

got any pics of the installation of the black box? or a copy of the instructions so i can see whats involved?

might be time to give mike a call

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.

A couple of my old school mates work at mv's and one of them was the previous owner of my skyline. My car has a stage 2 shift kit (massive hard shifts lol). My car only has basic mods but will jump sideways and chirp into second.

As mine used to, but im having problems with my AFM at the moment, so im half throttling until I fit the new one.

I picked one up tonight so I should be able to drive it hard again.

nice work. shouldnt that be the otherway around tho? pull back to shift up and push forward to shift down?

Yer it depends on the shifter.

I got mine off an sau member though, so maybe he chose to get the one that is the push forward to shift up type.??

Ne way I love it, and once I have my new AFM I will be able to fully enjoy it again.

Leave some feedback on the video too

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
