Automatic Transmission Shift Kit. - Updated Oct 2006


Recommended Posts

I have a 34 and I'm in.  I'll be speaking to mike today so I'll post back here.

sweet... let me know if u get any details.

but i had thought u werent gonna be part of the groupbuy and go direct to MV.

anyways, all sounds good.

Ok, just spoke to him then.

He can't find any valvebodies for R34 so we have to send our own down. About a week turnaround and I got the impression he would do his best to look after us knowing that our cars would be off the road to get it done.

So whens this look to be going ahead 4door?

Im just eager i guess :wassup:

I know its fairly straight forward, but is some installation info going to be provided by mike?

Will an upgrade to a better trans fluid cooler be necessary? If so, how much does one usually cost?

Will an improvement in acceleration be seen even on a lightly modded/stock R33?

well i hope this goes ahead soon, b/c i've already got a week scheduled for my car to be off the road anyway.

so its perfect timing if this goes ahead.

now i just need to find a reputable place in melbourne to complete the works on my auto-box.

Not necessary but a good idea, you can get new 19 row coolers for about $150 so it doesnt cost alot especially if you do it yourself.

The shift kit will most definately make the car faster, how much faster im not sure, but im estimating it will take atleast 2 10ths of a second off my 1/4 times in the cars current mod level.

So does anyone know when the group buy going ahead  

im ready to go.

x2

Can u tell us what we're sposed to do 4door?

Do we call up MV and tell them we're part of the group buy for the RE401A upgraded valvebody + Service kit.

K I'm in. I need my car over the next 2 weekends but after that I can pull it off the road and strip. Or can we buy this and just send our old ones a week or 2 later to get our deposit back?

I've been wanting to do the manula conversion but after reading the artical I'm more interested in doing this.

OK guys, the final prices are posted. (prices posted above and below)

WinK - yes you can keep your valve body, but can we do your order in the second group so others aren't held up when Mike only has 3 valve bodies in stock.

Price $295 + $50deposit on your valve body (refunded upon the return of your old, but still servicable, valve body)

Postage Costs (5.5kg) with TnT - $22 to Melb, $28 to Syd Perth or Bris (each way)

Service Kit $33 - dont skimp, get one of these if you can (either from Mike or from whoever installs the valve body for you)

The easiest way to organise payment is to ring Mike at MV Automatics (08) 8370 0430 - (the price is already discounted so there is no benifit in transfering it to my account and then me paying him, and its better insurance for you to deal direct with the supplier) and give credit card details to him. If you dont have a credit card PM me and transfer the money to my account and I will pay him for you.

Good news for owners of R34s

these can be done (one at a time) for the same price, Mike will get a valve body soon and modify it for us but at this stage he is reluctant to get 4 or 5 of them at once, so there will be a bit of a delay, but they can also be ordered.

Phone MV automatics (08) 8370 0430 and mention that you are a part of the GROUP BUY from Skylines Australia, and that the prices are $295 + deposit and shipping.

    • The spray cans were in the "Kiln" room whilst I was preping the parts,  so probably around 2 hours to get them warmed up, the kiln room has 3 small ovens running at 100°c, 3 medium sized ovens running 100°c, and the large one I used running at 80°c, the room itself was about 28°c, I also spent a bit of time taping up the parts in the room as well, and by the time I was done I would assume that the parts were around that 28°c As for power, I expect a couple of Killerwasps up high would be achievable with the current mods, I'm still running the MZR 2.0 intake and throttle body, and there is a slight mismatch with the 2.0 intake (smaller) and 2.5 intake ports (larger) on the head, this intake is matched and specifically designed to fix this issue with the ports mismatch, the throttle body is also a couple of mm larger, OEM is 65mm, the Bosch is 68mm In the end it will look "prettier" than the molded plastic thing that is the OEM MZR 2.0 intake As for the LSD, it's the OEM Torsen which works fine for what I use the car for, plus, basically no maintenance apart from the occasional oil change
    • I was at Tunehouse in Marrickville (great team over there really know their VR's) , and I spotted this Very clean R35.  
    • Mate , I have the same issue right now with the exhaust noise , if you can tell me what your local guy did , I'll talk to my guys and see if they can do the same. Power is good but it just too loud when put it down. 
    • The other trick I've found with wrinkle black is to put the can in hot water for a bit to warm the paint up, and to pre-heat whatever you're painting. It'll be interesting to see if you pick up any power with the intake, following with interest. Got a proper lsd for this?
