R34 Gt-T Auto Transmission

[-Boz-]

Hi all,

I will be taking ownership of an auto GT-T next week and the first thing I want to get done (after a full service and new fluids) is to get the gearbox overhauled. I'm looking for recommendations for good workshops in Brisbane/Gold Coast that can install a shift kit and give the box a thorough going over. I want to bring the final power up to around 220-250wkw and want to make sure that I have all my ducks in a row in regards to the drive train before I go chasing more power as the last thing I was is to blow up my gear box because it wasn't able to handle the power.

I'd love to get it done by the guys at MV Auto's in Adelaide but I'm not sure a trip there and back is really feasible so if anyone knows a good workshop in SE Qld that can do similar quality work that would be great.

Can't believe no one responded?

Must be someone in Brisbane who's good with Skyline autoboxes and has experience with shift kits?

Meh, remove transmission, courier down to MV (~$90), pay them, courier back, profit.

apparently mv is the way to go, gets talked up a lot on here. have also heard of knox autos but not as much info on there work.

That certainly is an option I have considered, if I needed a complete overhaul then I would be very tempted.

Well they do get mentioned quite a bit, I hope it isn't a case of forum viral marketing.

After I found this thread I did a little more searching on google and came up a company in Melbourne that also distribute shift kits, and they have a partner company in brisveagas...

Also found in the same search was another Brisbane automatic transmission workshop that seem to be performance oriented, don't know if they have experience with Skylines though...

When I'm closer to getting the Shift Kit I'll phone up MV and that other Melbourne mob and see if they are the same item, I'll also ring the local agent and get a quote for supply and installation, but right now I would probably get MV to send me the kit and I'll have a crack at the install.

Already found the tutorial...

Don't buy an auto. More problems than they are worth.

Western suburbs would be the go
