Hey, I have an R31 series 3, aussie skyline with an auto.

I'm having troubles with the gear change between 1st and 2nd. It was apparently rebuilt and a stage 2 shift kit, however i put it in coz the change between 1st and 2nd was really bad(to me) but after the rebuild it was still the same. All the other gears are really good though and really clamp hard.

Could it be the fact of the auto computer not letting it change quick enough for various reasons???

If anyone has any thoughts or sugestions, please let me know.

cheers

Could you elaberate more on troubles? Is it slippping or is it slamming into second? if its slamming into second your servos have had the goose. Also so I have been told that when Nissan Aus bought them out they never adjusted the bands correctly, so that could also be looked at.

It seems to be really slipping from first to second, specially when the turbo kicks in.

Have had a thought that maybe it could be the module, as it is a standard vacuum one, am not sure, but are there pressure modules??? it just seems to be worse since it being turboed

Hey thanks for all the sujestions on getting a manual, would really like to, but i still like the idea of just cruising around with an auto, just getting lazy i guess, plus too it helps when my missus drives home from the pub. hehe

I remember an issue of zoom where brains used a 300zx auto computer, don't know if that might help at all, but hey might give it a go.

Will also get the auto shop to adjust the bands along with a few other things that they didn't do.

Thanks everyone for your help.

      Pillar gauges

      See, that button sounds like perfection Duncan! My eyes really don't like light shining at them from a dash when I'm driving. Being part red colourblind, I've found for most cars that I can change colours on, I set everything to red, so my eyes see the elast amount of colour! I miss normal gauges in cars

      bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr 路 Posted

      Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 馃檪  I know what it looks like

      Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
