Hi. I'm thinking about buying an apexi avcr and installing it into my fully stock, auto r34 gtt. Will I have any problems in doing this ? Will it cause my ecu to go crazy? Couldn't find any answers I'm looking for in the forums so if anyone knows about any harm this could cause it would be greatly appreciated !

Not trying hard enough. Quite probably the single most over asked and exasperating question on these forums ever. I personally have answered it more times than I can count, and I can count quite a lot.

Auto mods should go

Shift kit

Exhaust

Intercooler

Boost raise

Etc.

Shift kit first?

I would go with the trans cooler, then shift kit. :P

Would a re4r01a shift kit work? I can't find any for re4r01b. If someone has a link to a cheap seller of this item as well it would be greatly appreciated

Nope.

Mv automatics.

^^ This. MV do swap over valve bodys, but they had run out recently so I hear, as none of the customers had returned them. Worth a call anyway.

I contacted mv and they said they could do it for me if I send them my valve bodies. I don't want to have to go to a mechanic and leave my undrivable car there for a week while my valve bodies are getting work done to them over east. Do you guys think it's a good and cost effective idea to remove them and do the work myself? Also to remove the tranny would I need a crane or would I need to jack the car up ?

Once again thanks for all the help I'm getting , I really appreciate it !!

It's a messy job.

Dropping the valve body isn't that hard, but you need to keep track of where all the bolts came from for when you reinstall everything, and there are a LOT of bolts.

Package it well, otherwise you will need another transmission.

I tried a bleed valve on my stock GTT and it really didn't achieve anything to run more boost. exhaust is restrictive and I'm pretty sure I logged it pulling timing out using ecutalk. There was a noticeable dead spot in the midrange. That was only a small boost gain too.

Gotta do the other breathing mods first (exhaust/FMIC). I will be going Adaptronic / hypergear high flow / ID1000 after that anyway. Wheeeeee! :)

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
