R34 Gtt Auto 4 Door Question

[illmatic]

Hi guys, just a quick question on whether i may have a problem or if this is normal.

If I put my foot down in first gear my car will bounce on the rev limiter for a few seconds (seems like 3 or 4 seconds) before finally shifting up into second. Im fairly sure this isnt supposed to be normal so I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this in theirs and if they did anything to fix it.

There are a few mods on the car but nothing too dramatic, just a front mount intercooler, pod filter, cat back exhaust and I beleive coil packs.

Also, does anyone know of a place in Adelaide that services Autowatch alarms?

Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks

Brett

maybe take it to an automatics specialist and get them to do a service on it and see if that helps.

I had a problem similar to this in an R32. Turned out it was a vacuum leak from a badly fitted boost gauge.

Interesting, mine only has the normal 3 gauge cluster with volts, oil temp and boost gauge on it. I do have issues with the boost gauge not actually working most of the time though. I was planning on getting this looked at along with a few other electrical problems that ive had since i bought the car.

I think I might take it in to get the trans serviced and then go from there.

Haha some days i wish i had but autos are a bit easier on my dodgy knee

the boost gauge runs off the same vacuum line the auto works off (for some of its voodoo magic in R32s at least) so that would be my guess.

Fair enough, You should get commy or a xr6t then more fun than a auto skyline imo

Yeah I can vouch that that isn't normal got an auto stagea with the same box and mine doesn't take that long to shift, does take longer when it's not warmed up though
