I was just wondering if anyone happens to know how many quarts of ATF are supposed to be but in a tranny for an R32 Gtst. I already replaced it once, and guess i didn't get enough fluid in it (even though the dipstick said there was enough) because about a month or 2 later, the transmission was totally shot once again. I'm just wondering, because I'm running out of transmissions to put in it.

Also, does anyone know if there is a gear ratio difference between a tranny for a GTS and a GTS-t?

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, that's part of the problem is that I don't speak very good Japanese, and we already did the swap, it seems to be running ok, but i know for a fact that i have too much fluid in it right now, and everywhere I have asked won't tell me, I had one guy tell me 13 quarts, which is like 12.5 liters, and i think that's way way too much, of course mines going to take more then if i was just changing the fluid, as the tranny was totally drained, including the torque converter. A friend of mine said that I might blow my seals with too much fluid in it, but I haven't had any problems so far, just that I checked the fluid, and it has too much in it. Last time I did the swap, I put 4 quarts in it, and the tranny was totally burned up withing a couple months. The only reason I had the spare auto-trannyt this time, is because I did an auto-manual conversion on my GTS-T, and had the auto from that. It seems like the GTS is a little more sluggish, and I figured that was because of the ratio difference, but the GTS is actually my wife's car, and she doesn't need a whole lot of power in the first place. If anyone knows an auto-tranny shop that could help, or knows how much ATF to put in the tranny, I would greatly appreciate some help.

Thanks again.

      Hi Rob It's a nistune ecu. Yes same shop, good reputation. Apparently the computer on the dyno is compensated for temperature.    Chris was saying that the lean or richness of the mixture would be covered in the actual tune, but he's already picking up in advance that it's under what it should be. Regards the dyno, it's also noticeable on the road. But I just want to add something that has just come in, it appears there might be something in the setup of the external wastegate. In the exhaust manifold there is a centre divider between the front three and rear three cylinders. The external wastegate has a pipe from each side that join at the wastegate. Theory is those two pipes just might be pypassing that divider and introducing a problem somehow. Is anyone familiar with the divider in the exhaust manifold and the effects if the two wastegate pipes were to create a bypass path? Thanks for your questions Rob, interested in your thoughts on this external wastegate bypass theory. Regards Rob

      Meh, At 60 years old, I have been doing dumb stuff for much longer than you mate, I am the true King And unfortunately I cannot be a maroon, as I am not brownish red As for not getting ITB's, the plenum intake will apparently show typical gains across the board and increase induction noise a bit, but, have all over less dort than ITB's Cost difference for the extra ITB dorts was significant though, the total parts for the plenum set up is "around" $2kAUD plus shipping, the ITB's were $4kAUD plus shipping, I was contemplating really hard about paying the extra $2k for all of the dorts, but weirdly, some form of common sense, from listening to the platform experts prevailed  As for the NA mod hate by some, I've had a few boosted cars, with all their inherent issues, I'm now looking at simplicity and legalities for a street car, maybe I'm just getting old, and I'm quite happy to spend some of the kids inheritance, 5kw at a time 🤣 And think of all the money I'll be saving on consumables that something with boost needs, like engines, gearboxes, diffs, clutches,  tilt trays... etc. etc. etc. 🤪

      Haha.  I wouldn't say I am either but I've definitely been around it plenty.  I'm guessing you know the dial in is basically to make a handicap to level the playing field between racers.  The car with the slower dial in goes first and in theory if they run their dial in time and the faster car also does then they cross the finish time if they also have exactly the same reaction time - if you go faster than the dial in them you lose, but if you are too slow there's a good chance the other person will get to the finish line first. I'm normally supporting other cars but they were all pretty dialled and were egging me on to race as well, here's one of the cars I tune (Starlet) which ran within like 1 hundredth of its dial in through the competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inEBu-d9Gn4&t=69s

      Potential MAP Reference Point

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      Where ever the fuel reg gets it reference is what I use to T into for map reference been a very long time so where it goes to plenum/runners I have no idea but never had issues.

      What ecu? Same shop every time? Same ambient temperature? If timing is correct then pull plugs and see if lean or rich. Dyno can also read different if they have changed ramp rate or not set tacho/speed properly
