So far i just know that the R32 RB25de and R33 RB25de came with the 5 speed auto. I'm not sure if all of them did.

My HCR32 has a 5 speed auto.

It has 3 gear selections on the shifter and then 2 other gears on overdrive.

The overdrive sucks because when I'm driving Miss Daisy in the back and select OD after 80kmh, both 4th & 5th gear shift within a couple of seconds and the next thing I know I'm doing 80kmh with the engine turning at 1500rpm - needless to say it's pretty bloody gutless down there in that rev range. But when I'm on her she'll swap into 4th at 150kmh and 5th at 190kmh.

My only real bugbear is the inability to select 4th and 5th at will, which is why I'm in the middle of procuring everything for my manual conversion, no more auto for me.

I saw a five speed in a non turbo rb20de R33.... 4 door.....

I thought it was very strange as the dash in the 33 has the gear selection lights it had 1-4 then drive... a normal auto r33 had 1-3 then drive...

I dont know where youd get that info other than nissan japan... I have only ever seen one myself and i was confussed... I spoke to the guys in our auto devision and they had never seen one nor did they have any tech info on this box....

Yeah putting a manual box in a standard auot is a good thing...

I did it in my old GTSX.... The diff ration is taller and makes for a faster acc but lower top speed... But top speed is not important at QLD raceway nor on the strip as you will never reach red line top gear..... So yes this is a great idea....

Nissan had the 5-speed auto transmission designated RE5R01A, it's sister to the 4-speed, the RE4R01A and was used in both the Skyline series and the 1999 Q45 4.1 V8 Infinity, although there are other vehicles, I can't remember exactly which ones.

The manual coversion is going to be a wait and see as the gearbox I have coming is a Nismo close ratio, so the diff ratio may be a bit extreme for the box, should be fun for a while though!

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
