You can try and fit a valve body from the states and fill it with nissan fluid, It may last a bit longer and can be done with the box in the car, otherwise you will need to replace the clutch packs also, which means a full remove and rebuild. You are looking at around $3500 for that but I warn you, dont get them to high stall the converter or the trans ecu will have issues with locking it up. (as it ramps the voltage to the lockup clutch too slowly)

Kewish Automotive did mine, they have worked on similar boxes before but mine was their first M35 RE5. Shifts instantly and firmly at heavy throttle and softly at light throttle although there is still ecu lag when shifting.

Thanks for the reply. We just tried putting the nissan fluid in the box. No luck there it still slips.

Looks like rebuild time. So leave the stall converter stock is your advice.

I think i will limp it around for a few weeks

I looking into a rebuild about 1 year ago. I was going to use Dominello's in Sydney.

If you are planning on building the motor up and wanting to run a standalone ECU can I suggest you looking into a Manual Valve Body as well. That way you should be able to have complete control of the gearbox without input from the motor ECU.

No keeping it simple just rebuild upgrade the clutch packs. Not planning on rebuilding engine.

I just want to tune it any news on SAS reflash?

Ive got a supra that im forever throwing money at. I dont need another

lol.....wish I had a dollar for every time i've been asked that question.....I can tell you it's getting closer.....but then again so is xmas!

I ring every week....Tom know my voice and my fake ones now....lol.

I can only chase.....personally.....if it doesn't happen VERY F#$KING soon I think I will need to cut and run!!!!!!....I'm sick of having lag till 4,500rpm and a 6,000rpm rev limit because of misfires!

this is the only other real option!!!!!!

It might be i was looking at going down that road soon, but it looks as if it is the transmission first

I got a little bit of mapping stuff if you go down the fcon route and cant find someone to map it for you :) or want someone different to do it.

Anyone dealt with wholesale automatic transmissions in melbourne .

The tranny is a RE5R05A is it compatable with the RE5R05A's out of the other nissans. ie patrol, navara ect

Will a change over unit bolt straight on

Yeh i just spoke to wholesale auto transmissions they said it is a rare transmission and they dont have any rebuilt stock. Lol wish full thinking.

I found a second hand one for $1250 That will get me out of trouble for a few months and give me time to rebuild my one

Transmission let go today anyone know anybody with one.

My mechanic said it will take 3 weeks to rebuild.

Ouch. Mine took a month.

You could get on to the wreckers that bought the white M35, they might sell you a box cheap for 5k :blink:

    • I got the four AN10 fitting welded up to the cam covers and started up making the head to sump breather/drain lines. The front passenger side cover I used a 45 up top and a 90 at the bottom into the stock VCT head drain spot (3/4" BPST to AN10 adapter) thats unused on the RB25DET NEO with some speedflow flame shield to protect it from the manifolds heat.   back passenger side was a 90 up top with some flame shield and 45 at the sump end. The rear drivers is 45 at both ends   the front drivers fitting is capped off for now but ready to go if i want to try moving the breathers around. I was told by the fabricator to leave all the welds raw for now to make sure there are no pin hole leaks. A lot of cleaning up, re bundling looms and degreasing to go as well as final assembly on the cam cover baffles. The first real test will be 28th March at a Circuit event. added complexity and more spots for leaks but overall looks relatively neat imo
    • Yeah i think the dash needs to come out. To get the loom or maybe just climate control and radio cluster. My mirrors are done i think the motors don’t work so well after flood haha i need the ac fan, you said you wanted to keep it for your 31 and interior loom not including boot. The wiper motor. I’m not sure how good the window surrounds are on the exterior on the pintara.  I will message you to get your bank details shortly 
    • Just another barrier put up to stop cars being modified. When we're all driving Chinese sewing machines, you won't want to modify it anyway, and you'll likely already have slashed your wrists and be locked up in a padded room for your own protection.
    • Yes, but no. I wouldn't want an IC7, because I think they are ugly, cramped and most of the displays I've seen are garish (and granted the last bit can probably be avoided). I wouldn't want to pay for the UC10. Probably wouldn't want to pay for the IC7, for that matter. And, it's an R32. I have cable drive speedo. Although, thinking about it, that's not a big obstacle, because at least I can throw the electronic sender back into the R33 box and then find a way to emulate the original (R32 or R33) speedo head's conversion of the saw-tooth AC speed signal into the square wave that the ECU wants, without the 1990s approach of hiding a gutted speedo head behind the dash. (another Arduino project, no doubt). I like the technical aspects of the big digital dashes, but I aesthetically and just general originality and feel-wise, like the original dash enough. More? Yes, more. If I had a UC10 I'd want to make the dash look as close to the original one as possible most of the time, and only flash up "DANGER TO MANIFOLD" when it needed to. But the other aspect of the 3-DIN slot digi gauge that I'm contemplating is that I'm a tinkerer and can barely resist a project, even if I don't need to add another to the list of unfinished ones. And I think there's enough precedent of others out there that have proven which equipment works (ie, is not washed out, or slow, or prone to failure, or all the other problems that can afflict such a project). I'm not quite enough of a micro-controller tech head that I know the best way to approach all of these decisions, and so striking out on my own to achieve it years ago would have led to unhappiness. But now, it seems like a project that I can actually achieve on the first or second go, with only a few sleepless nights. And that's why I'm actively thinking about it now. I would much rather have a thing in my car that I made from more-or-less scratch that does what I want, rather than something that someone else made that does some of what I want, not other stuff I want, and/or annoys me in some fashion. If I'm going to be annoyed, I need it to be my fault, so I know who to blame, and who needs to fix it. As an example of that - I have surveillance cameras at home. No, I did not go buy a kit with a DVR and 4 or 8 or 16 off-the-shelf cameras in a kit. No, I did not want to use any sort of could service to record or access the feeds and recordings from outside the house. No, I bought my chosen cameras directly (from China, lol) and built the DVR myself using a couple of different (ie, this was attempt 1 and attempt 2 to get a system I liked) software packages, running on Linux, with the server being a virtual machine running Proxmox. I found a way to offload the image recognition part of the system to a dedicated AI processing board (a Coral TPU, for anyone who cares) with the hardware passed through to the server on the VM, motion detection offloaded to the GPU, all storage is local in the home network, accessible from outside via my own self-hosted VPN). All done so that I could seal off the Chinese cameras in their own network where they can't access the internet and dial home to the CCP and backdoor my network. All things that you can't have if you do what is commercially available. And even with all the f**king around it has still cost a fraction of what it would cost to buy commercially.
    • ..could be worse... but out here, renting private affords some luxuries ...we've even been told the Sept dateline isn't critical, and I'd rather move stuff in the cool of winter, than slogging it out in the heat. Recall we were talking about the million dollar view this place has?...that's what he got for it... (won't be so nice when the quarry happens at the back in the future...lol..)... ...cool, I'll stick the wiper motor in a wee box...umm.... the pinny is GLX trim ~ I think that's about as close as it gets to Silo spec when it comes to the S2 pinny...ie; electric mirrors etc etc...dunno about the trip computer/wiring...I do electronics repair, I'd be willing to take a look at it for you. As you saw, all the dash is there in that car..and thinking about it, it'd be easier to pull the whole center section out, rather than just the ashtray and rails, but your call...
