most people haven't been in a car with a built auto, once you have you won't mind spending the money once on a good auto. only issue with an auto is you can't kick the clutch but i like my car with th

Tell me more about these manualised autos

No electronic control required. You manually select each gear and enjoy the fact you don't need to push the clutch pedal and the best bit is you just keep grabbing gears in a skid

What shifters work? Do you need a new valvebody? What is exactly involved? How does the stall converter react to it? After a manualised auto you can use any stand alone? etc etc... Obviously i don't know anything about autos besides the fact that mine is in good nick. I'm guessing the cost is around the 1-2g mark?

Tried searching quite a lot and i couldn't find anything, and i don't want to waste MV's time by calling them.

A few posts up I have a photo of my b&m shifter under the factory covers. I suggest you give mv a call that way you get all your questions answered they are good guys to talk to

Are these the options or tuning the auto skyline r33 :

Toshi's tune

Nistune..need more info about this

eManage blue/ultimate

Safc and sitc

Power Fc

Are these users able to retain the shift logic? Toshi is all out of auto ecu's and wont be importing anymore so I dont know if he is an option. He mentioned not being able to do over 200rwkw or so on the eManage.

Want to see in excess of 230rwkw (have usual mods - intake/exhaust , injectors , fuel pump - high flow turbo to 18psi , trans cooler , mv valve body upgrade)

What ecu can I use that will retain daily drivability but get me to 230rwkw?

I also realised after I wrote Nistune a lot, that the person asking has a 33 Auto, to which I have NFI if Nistuning will work as they typically change the ECU to a Z32 or RB20 ECU to boot.

Unsure if that even applies to Autos, actually.

Soo funny I forgot to laugh ;)

Stu cornall tuning services in qld is making them. Just sent him a msg on Facebook.

If he doesn't reply, does someone else want to call him? I've been watching him from afar and following him from work and home. I KNOW he has been ignoring me!

FYI This is what the director of Nistune had to say after I emailed him regarding using nistune on an r33 automatic:

The only option I’ve found so far is to use the R32 ECU, TCU and an aftermarket VCT controller. This has been done by Steve at Advanced Jap Auto in Vic with indicated the setup works since the r33 TCU cannot be used with R32/Z32 ECUs

You would also need to upgrade the MAF to Z32 over 220rwkw

We cannot nistune the r33 ECU at this point. Another person is working on a solution but no news since Dec

If you wished to do this way then you need to source the R32 ecu and tcu plus Summit racing, buddy club etc RPM trigger switch for VCT and Nistune Type 2 board loaded with rb25 maps

      Interesting, I've heard complete opposite on my end. Bit of a lottery I guess.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Getting Dangerously close to being ready to go back in the car. Rockers in with clearance castings now (and a quick check with the USA for the torque settings for the larger custom bolts) Covers and ported FAST Manifold sitting on there. Not fully tightened down as there's some clearancing required for the water pump with the earlier LS1 water pump styles. Example of the clearancing needing to be done: The body has to be ground a little but I'm struggling finding an actual piece of it. The later variant of water pump resolves the issue as the manifold was designed around it. It only came on the VZ LS1 in Australia, it got a different pulley for Gen4 motors. (it also costs $450... vs... $0).

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      Doing some height adjustment on front suspension on a v35 and noticed this. The passenger side looks correct. So wondering what's happened to the drivers side?

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      Oh...I have the electric mirrors as well iirc ...they're in the same state as just about every other R31 door mirrors, with the 3 plastic screw towers broken/cracked in the plastic molding. All the interior is 'dry', so the mirror switches etc likely all work fine. Some pics below of the trimmer pieces ~ looks to me like previous owner, painted chrome finished trims with black paint ...ergo, the chrome underneath is likely a-ok... ...starts to look yukky posting stuff like this, how much did it cost in fuel on your last sortie up this way?...me just thinking aloud, borrow someone else's 4cyl to cut costs, come do your own pick'n'pull like before to save me some bother...hehe.. but whatever, I'll just earmark bits I know you want, because the way this is all panning out, I'll be able to retire the R31 from daily duty at long last, replacing it with a Subaru wagon I'm lining up in the wings...ergo, my attitude towards the donor pinny shell is starting to wane a bit, and I'm more than happy to help you out there... Like you say though, no rush...and I'll guarantee we won't be moving too far from this locale at any rate 😎
