Picked up a set of Drift seats from RoadsterGarage on the weekend.....Cheers Adam. Was very excited bout my new purchase. It didnt last long, as soon as I reversed out of the driveway I noticed a slight shudder. (Thought that was strange), selected Drive and put my foot down.

Yeah, lets just say that at the revs shown on the tacho I should have been doing 40kms.......not so. Limped home and checked fluid level, all good. Now gotta find someone reputable in Sydney to get it diagnosed.

my m35 gearbox crunched under full boost when you take foot of pedal. Now put my foot down and engine takes off but transmission has to catch up. Good thing I have dealership 5 year warrenty. Taking to to slacks creek on thursday to get fixed. Hopefully its something simple

OK so I rang the trans place close to mee in Seven HIlls, got the car booked for Wednesday. Was told that when they replace the solenoids A & B he will do another diagnosis to see if the computer is ok.

Will keep you posted on progress & cost, so far approx $450 mark.

just a trivial point, if the box is slipping then to do it properly it would be a good idea to get teh TC looked at/swapped over as well. it would have a fair bit of trash in it from the slip.

mention that to the trans guy.

Torque Convertor. even though you do a oil change on it you are still only doing HALF the oil. the rest of it (with trash in it) is still in the TC. I had this issue with a JATCO 4spd in a Subaru. did the oil change / sol's and it shit itself 6 weeks later leaving me with a $4.5k bill. the best way to look at an auto box is with an extreme eye on caution. if its giving you grief and carrying on in a weird manor rebuild it or find another box.

      R34 GTT Central Locking Pains

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      Ok, can confirm.  if you use it like a normal human being in the real world, it works fine.  it only starts crossing wires if I keep using the fob over and over again in a very short period. So if I just chill the f**k out, it works 😂😂

      Does 98ron contain ethanol?

      By crustycereal · Posted

      Im about to run a e30 mix of e85 and 98ron but i read that australian fuels specifically 98ron doesnt contain ethanol so on the calculator when it says pump ethanol percentage do i just put 0 or is this statement even true? And if it is true i assume i dont need to test any 98ron pumps.

      R34 GTT Central Locking Pains

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      So... the fob I had for my Skyline always had this issue where the "Unlock" button worked with no issues but the "Lock" button did nothing (and I always had to lock with the key) I thought I'd try resetting and pairing the key to the car today to see if that fixes the issue. I did the standard steps to program a key but realised my central locking was doing its own thing from time to time. 1st time: The driver-side doors would not lock or unlock when using the fob. No issues with the key. I figured it was the right time to change the battery in the fob so decided to go get one. When I went to the shop all doors locked and unlocked with the fob (while it had the old battery 🙃)   2nd time: When I locked the car, it would lock itself and immediately unlock. If I unlocked it, it would unlock and immediately lock.   3rd time:  After a bit of cursing and praying, that weird bug stopped. But then the rear passenger door started being a pain. It wouldn't really follow what the fob was asking it to do. Sometimes even using the key would not do what I wanted. So I'd lock the car with the key and all doors would lock, but the rear passenger lock didn't do anything at all. And then after a few moments, it would work again.   Is there a fuse that I should be looking at? or, is this one of those things where the door card needs to come off and some unit needs to be replaced? It just seems to happen from time to time and if I give her some space and come back later, there are no issues  🤦‍♂️ Also, should I try to program the fob again to the car just to see if that solves it?

      One would assume a turbo is somewhere in its future down the line given they slap turbos on pretty much everything that arrives

      I’m guess it’ll end up with a turbo
