Hey everyone,

Well Im a few weeks from finishing my tune and with the current street tune I noticed the Auto isnt liking one little bit. I checked the fluid level and the level is fine. Its the colour that is concerning.

Its more of a chocolate brown / red... imagine a melted Cherryripe :)

So first thought was "Just get a service".. but after reading a little on the forums and watching some stuff on Youtube. Im now sold on a Shift Kit ;)

Ive read a few things about the guys and girls in Adelaide visiting MV Automatics for a Kit.

I was wondering where I should/could go up here in QLD.

Note: Yes, I would love a manual. No, I dont need a manual. :D

Cheers, Aerron

Hi Aerron, i got mine done up here in Brisbane at Western Suburbs Automatics at Rocklea, might be a bit out of the way for you though. i got the service and shift-kit done at the same time, its like having a new gearbox, nice solid shifting, definitely needed when chasing more power.

Hey,

As I know squat about Auto's Id more then likely get a Trans shop to do it for me.

As it WILL require a service/flush BAD.

The biggest incentive to do this is to go to the strip :D

Need to kick a mates SS(Common-door-poo)

Hey buddy,

I remember talking to you on the Cruise the other week. I was hoping you'd reply.

I rung them last week and the guy was abit of a.. nob.. to say the least(PMS maybe?)

I dont mind doing the hike if they have done it previously on a Stagea and your happy with it :D

You wouldnt happen to have the details of your kit? Receipts might have the details?

Thanks

I presume you are going to change the fluid when you get the shift kit. The brown colour means it has overheated and is no good.

Yeah, I was shocked by the brown colouring :whistling:

Me + Auto = headaches. Give me a Manual anyday...

Trans Shop will be doing all the work for me. + I like the idea of some form of garentee/warentee.

For that piece of mind :)

when i rang up they where pretty helpful, when i first mentioned it was a stagea i don't think he knew what it was, but then i explained it was basically the same as the R34 skyline tiptronic auto, and told him the transmission number i got off the build plate (RE4R01B i think it was) he then said they were familiar with the gearbox and had done the valve body upgrade on a few of them before. i scoured the forums for ages looking for places in brisbane with experience on nissans, this was the only place that i found mentioned on SAU for QLD.

the only thing was they had my car for 1.5 days, dropped it off monday morning and didn't get it back till 11am tuesday. i don't know if it was because they were busy and didn't finish it on time, or if the job just takes that long to do. it didn't bother me anyway as i had other means to get around. there isn't much in the way of details on the receipt, just says "Remove and Refit and Modify Valve Body to Heavy Duty Valve", also mentions having a 3month warranty on work done, i can pm you a scanned copy if you still want to have a look, let me know.

Cheers for that. Yeah, Turn Around Time doesnt bother me, provided its not like 20x hours labour :D

I rung a place thats local here on the Coast. He said he's never done a Stagea before.

I should visit him in the morning and explain its 99% a Triptonic 34.

I rung him last week and he had did abit of a search for me. Said theres no Listing for Stagea's.

Stupid me not mentioning the "Same as a 34 GTT" :D

But he did mention something about removing the Valve Body and Modifying it...?

I also enquired about a service, he said, "..seeing as the Pan will be off and its Half Way there, I'll only charge for the Filter + what ever fluid is needed to flush.."

He said he wants to see what box it is just to confirm the model. As One Model has 6x Valve Bodies and the other has 1x. I'm hoping its the Series 1 box that has 6x?? :ermm:

He also mentioned about going to whole 9 yards and going Kevlar Bands etc... Est $1500...................

My reply, "I'll pass." :P

I'll visit him in the morning and see how I go. If all fails I'll visit Western Suburbs Automatics :ninja:

Thanks, Aerron

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. The shock dyno actually looks pretty similar to Shockworks (from what I can surmise from a screenshot of a youtube video - and my dyno printout...) Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I've probably also altered toe and camber in a negative (detrimental) way. I can't tell any difference steering the car.

      R32 GTR EV? The leaf of the Godzilla's!

      You reckon? I have to disagree. Notwithstanding that at some point we may all be forced to do this to our cars if we want to keep driving them, there is absolutely nothing about an electric-converted-previously-IC-car that is ever good. EVs that are built by OEMs on platforms that were originally IC already suck, let alone the shitty outcomes that result from doing it as a retro to something that was actually built as an IC car. This is because the platform really needs to be designed to house the battery in a useful place (ie, down as low as possible) and the motors are properly located relative to the wheels that they have to drive. Converted platforms already suck at this. But when you try to shove sufficient battery capacity into a previously IC car, you can't put it down on/in the floor, because that space doesn't exist. You can't find enough space where the fuel tank used to be (if it is an inboard fuel tank) and you don't want to hang it out behind the rear axle line if you had a rear fuel tank. And there's not enough space in the tunnel if you still want to use it for anything remotely like what it was originally used for. The engine bay is too big for a motor, and you'd really prefer that the motor for the rear wheels wasn't in the front engine bay anyway. And there's not enough room where the diff was for a proper man-sized E motor. And then.... there is the complete lack of soul and emotion that is provided by EVs. There are some cracking restomods out there. Like the Alfaholics GTA thingo. But it is petrol powered. Look at the alternative EV version of a GTA restomod by Totem. it is jaw droppingly beautiful. But by all reports is is objectively awful to drive, despite having 600 HP or something, simply because there is nothing there. It sounds like a sewing machine or a leaf blower. It should scream and wail and make the hairs on your neck stand up. Oh, and it's 1500 bloody kg in a car that was <900kg when new. GTRs are heavy enough as it is without pushing them up to 2tonnes worth of pork.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      don't know anyone in this thread, but i just found it, read the entire thing in a few hours, realized greg is still posting progress, and just have to say, this is awesome. it looks awesome. 100% right about the Uras kit making it a pain to get on hoists...have the same kit on my 34 and it takes six 2x4s and race ramps to do it without taking parts off. this reminds me exactly of this thread. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/build-projects-and-project-cars/r63-amg-the-unicorn-of-my-destruction/110824/page8/
