Steven - the shift kit cost me about $250 (I think) installed, and I believe MV automatics will sell them to people interstate/internationally so that you could have a local auto trans shop install it for you.

Lukits01 - I havn't changed the stall converter yet (but I have thought about it). I decided that unless my motor/turbo combination were to only come on boost higher in the rev range then it wouldnt be necessary at this stage. The shift kit made a big difference so I am not sure that I will need to look at the stall converter at the moment.

I hear that only some R33's come with an auto fluid cooler. All the R34's do. If it doesn't have one or it's pissy small then get one. Mine has only overheated once and that was on about lap 12 of Wakefield.

I have a S1 R33 auto and it has a auto fluid cooler.

What do you guys think would be good upgrade for the cooler and how much do you think it would be, most of the jap one are to pricey.

Once you convert your car to Manual you can never go back. Just convert it. Its nice n fast n fun to drive.

But a bit pricey.. and a pain in the ass in traffic.. I DO miss my auto sometimes... Like on tuesday where my Clutch Box pedal broke in sydney traffic.. had to drive it back to the hotel with no clutch.. cost $300 to replace. Stupid thing is held together with FRIGGING SPOT WELDS. no wonder its going to break with a extra sprung pressure plate.

So im going to re-brace the old one and change it over sometime soon before the new one breaks too.

Thanks mate, do you have their web-site address that i could look at, and how did you fee the performance difference? Do you feel shift a lots quicker?

cheers

      Quick Lifts? Anybody got one?

      By PranK · Posted

      The jack pad placement always had me scratching my head. I only have a small section to work with on both the E90 and E70 (and insert new project car here ) and I could see lining it up to be a bit of a bugger. For me, the E90 is just too low and needs small ramps and then the front centre jack point is a bit tricky to line up (it's half way down the subframe and about the size of a tennis ball, its really hard to see unless your head is on the ground), so I definitely like the idea of not having to do a multi-stage jack and just sliding these bad boys in under the sides. There's only one small point at each corner, so I can't jack AND add a stand on the same corner. Or, maybe I can and I'm too nervous to try. 😟

      Is this not the biggest deal of all? I was hoping the whole "will slide under cars with skirts etc and lift evenly quickly with minimal fuss" was the entire point of such a device?

      Yeah I've got one of these, Quick Jack not Quick Lift, but your link looks like a good copy For me, it's better than no hoist, but it is definitely not as good as a hoist  It lifts the car about 60cm which is a nice working height compared to regular stands and it is only under the sills so it doesn't get in the way like regular chassis stands do.  No need to use regular stands, it has a safety lock on it. On the down side it is really heavy/unwieldy to drag into place, and you have to place it after the car is there (no option to drive the car to where the frames are. You need to try and line it up with the proper sill points which is hard as it swings up in an arc and there is surprisingly little adjustment in the distance between the rubber pads for different car lengths. Not a big deal, but in practice a jack + stands is probably quicker. Also there are hydraulic lines to each side and you need either a 240v or 12v source to power it depending on which option you have, I use 12v as I always seem to have a battery around.

      Finally addressing my catch can and oil setup Plan is to do as much as practical without having to remove the motor or pull it apart. (no back of head to sump drain/breather or oil restrictors) First step is a set of full length baffle plates from Hypertune and a Tomei cam cap stud kit. I could probably have laser cut and bent up my own ones but this took any guess work out
