After having some serious trans perfomance issues, it was found to be travelling in "safe mode" ie 3rd & reverse gear only

so I followed the recommendation of some SA forum members & took my baby to Michael @ MV Perfomance Automatics

...it required a shift solenoid set to fix the non-selecting gear problem & I agreed to a shift "improver kit" (quick shift) as well.

It cost $390 for the Shift Solenoid Set (that Nissans wanted almost $900 for) & $350 for the Shift Improver Kit + the trans fluid & gaskets etc $75.

Now I am a seriously OLD fella but far out, I can not believe the extraordinary difference in it's performance !!

it is frigg'n AWESOME !!!!.... it is a totally different car.

If you have not put a quick shift in your auto yet, do it ! It is the best $400 you will ever spend.

living just 5 minutes down the road from MV, your giving me good reason to do this. Must say with most makes/models I have had with autos - MV has always been the first reference anyone has given - top guys.

Indeed Aaron...he does different "levels" of the shift kit ranging from softer gear changes to "slamming" into gear for high performance & drag cars.

I am OLD & just wanted the "softest" change....now there is immediate, no flarring changes & the box is immediately receptive to the increase & decrease

in revs...it is how it responds rather than the type of response that changes. HOWEVER, when I change over to manual control on the steering

wheel, it feels just like a manual box change...unreal !

It actually feels like I have a bigger turbo kicking it...the immediate gear change response is that good...all for $400

Had one done in an RS a while ago and it blew my mind how it changed the car, better shifting into lock up mode when cruising and better oil flow to the back of the box. I wouldnt bother getting under the car for myself, Id go straight to MV.... as I intend to with the current RS$...lntentional typO

      I would again like too thank Matt for his help in me sourcing the detachable hard top for the little red car, without Matt's assistance in inspecting it and locking it down, I can guarantee it would have sold before I could get up to see it,  and as that was the only available NC hardtop in Australia, I consider myself extremely lucky on multiple levels To say I'm more that happy would be an understatement And, it is 100% water tight, I drove through torrential rain coming back south, and by torrential, they type of rain that doing 40kph in a 110kph zone was a real thing, and even then, the standing water on the Hwy was deep enough to throw waves I'm also more than happy that the huge "BEASTS" that Matt calls dogs didn't eat me for lunch, I'm sure the sniffs and licks were more to "taste test" me, over being to friendly Now to work out what colour to get it painted, panel match, or gloss black........first world problems are real

      Actually I might have figured out. Looks like there is a tab according to google images but it's hidden. Silly me.

      No clips on this one like the other connector. Only that red tab that I can push slightly up.

      For any loom connector that has an obvious release that resists pushing far enough to unclip, just spray some silicone lube into it. You might also benefit from using a bent screwdriver or small pick to push in the right place at the right angle.

      R34 GT Indicator not Cancelling

      By silviaz · Posted

      Hey all, I went to try and fix my indicator not canceling, but I couldn't remove the clockspring cable under the column so I could twist that green thin. Anyone know how to remove this cable? I see this red tab but didn't have any luck. I was thinking of unscrewing it but wasn't sure if it would cause issues. I did notice for my indicator stalk, 2 out of 3 cables were plugged in but the last cable wouldn't fit in the stalk. I'm getting it's for fog lights. It was like this when I originally pulled it off.
