There is but only one criticism I have of your setup, and no, it's not the fact it's auto...

The radiator support, if your gearbox and motor setup was anything like mine, it means you're going to have to do the old split the gearbox and motor apart while in the car if you need to pull the motor out again... It's my only issue, I personally would have made that rail a bolt in piece...

And in saying that, it makes me want to finish mine off really badly :(

Yer I'm aware of this, I have a sneaky feeling that if its a bolt in piece it's illegal :/... Ill have to do more research lol.

GT-R > S2 > S1

It has an LS1, it needs a big T wing! :yes: haha

Come on Nik, more photos, more updates! And do your best on the weekend to get a vid of it running!

Now I know why you mentioned about putting a Holden badge on your R33.....

You should put an HSV badge on it :nyaanyaa:

haha u didn't realise from you know my car, listed... There <<<<

No hsv badge, thinking about a gts57 sticker done in gts25-t font ;).

And I'll do my best this week end for some videos mmmmkay, won't be anything exciting that will have to wait until happy laps in April.

Quick rev just to prove it runs ;) (best listened to with headphones as its really deep)

Haha no worries man, and yer i only live about 45 minutes from willowbank so the car is being built as a weekend car for a bit of fun (but obviously with drag racing in mind as its my Motorsport of choice :wub:) and also as something different to a majority of the other 33s you see around.

When I eventually get it out to the strip ill post up videos.

yep, heard that.

I had my time at the drags a while back. A bit of hike for me though coming from the Gold Coast, but now I intend to be doing the same trip but to QR instead as I have converted from drag to circuit ;)

be great to catch up one day.

Don't do it, I thought the same thing 2 years ago when it was not the abomination it is today (And NIck I believe I was the first to call it an abomination) and I haven't been able to get rid of him ever since

bahhh ahahahaahah Cap must be a top bloke then ;)

Nice write up mate. Love how easy you make it seem to fit the LS1 in lol.

Can't wait to see where this goes though :)

Haha I can't give away all the secrets, there is some issues you will run into ;)

Yer Chris hearts me :P, bring sime beer or scotch and we'll be best mates lol

Hell yer man come up I attend most Wednesday night test and tunes just go around poking people and screaming "CAPTAIN!" until u find me lol

So had the car into an ultratune (rip off merchants of the earth) to be put over a diagnostics machine to find out what is wrong with this stupid gearbox the pricks charged me 106.45 for mayb 15 minutes "work" ie plug machine into obd2 port.

Anyway, it returned the errors codes for shift solenoid a&b and torque converter lock up failure. They basically told me to fark off as the had no interest in dealing with the issue any further. So now I'm back to square one, ill be checking the transmission fuse this arvo (as it only just occurred to me that it could be blown), other than the I guess it's anyone's guess as to what's wrong and just start with trial and error :angry:

THE PROBLEM: no 1st or 4th gear even when manually trying to select them, car takes off in 3rd unless you physically lock it in 1st or second in which case it starts in 2nd gear.

(Could be a faulty shift solenoid... I duno :rant:)

If anyone has experience with a 4l60e gearbox help is appreciated

Have you not got an auto place to take it too? If its a shift solenoid its not the end of the world man....

Is it staying in limp mode (assume 3rd) due to the fault codes? Did they clear them?

Yer up in Toowoomba, everything's just an inconvenience due to the stupid p plates, will ring some auto places later this week. Hopefully a solenoid change isn't to expensive (if that's even what it is)

    • Sigh... yeah OEM mount rear battery, very R33, very demure, very mindful.
    • Would need a substantial current draw in the car to make a bunch of sparks. Obvs to now test resistance to ground of the car's B+ lead. If there's a short there, you'll see it. Only likely place for that, as you suspect is alternator. But there is also the possibility that rats have had a chew on some insulation. Shitbox has the battery in the boot, yeah? Plenty of cable to attack.
    • Oh, I thought of that too... I disconnected the battery and hooked up the leads direct to the car without the battery in place. Sparks... I suspect the following: Alternator has decided to kill itself Starter has decided to kill itself I'll recharge the battery, then unplug both, and go from there. The above might take 6 months - however I did buy a Victron 15 AMP trickle charger, apparently it's better than CTEK? Amazon, delivery by tonight. https://www.amazon.com.au/Victron-Battery-Charger-15-Amp-waterproof/dp/B07P4LMMMD?ref_=ast_sto_dp    
    • Test actual voltage on battery. It's probably way low and possibly got a shorted cell. Something that might explain everything in your report.
    • In other news, my shit box R33 is Gregged. I kid you not, 3 months ago it drove perfectly fine, parked it and it sat on the trickle charger for about 2.5 months. A few weeks ago, noticed the charger stopped working.  Oh wells, 15 years out of a CTEK charger, across 3x shit box JDMs (and other dailies) you've done well. Went to try start the car today, nothing. Thought, yeah ok, let's get the jumper leads on. This is where shit escalated lol... Initially popped on the leads and noticed a great deal of sparks, not to worry. Let's triple check shit and try again, yep same. Thought perhaps was just an initial current draw from the 2x audio amplifiers, etc. nope, leads got warm and the fuse box jump point started to GLOW! 🥲  Luckily the Tiguan wasn't on, I can't imagine what Christmas lights combination would have appeared on the dash if the motor was running. Anyhow, hastily gave up and messaged Brett for a laugh, or commiserate whatever you want to call it. Skyline (Shitbox) Lyfe 😂
