yep me neither .... like Guy said I would be checking your boost controller. Even better plumb the wastegate actuator into the exhaust outlet pipe and see what boost your actuator is making on its own, and see if it spikes with it set up like that.

I pulled my valvebody out on the weekend and sent it to Mike yesterday. There are sooo many bolts in there its scary. There are about 6 different kinds of bolts too. They are different lengths.

i ordered one of those "magic black boxes" to make mine a fully manual automatic...

i have a slight issue with the gear selection order, but called mike and he has given me some things to check, so off i go with the test light! hahaha

but i honestly cant recommend these guys enough... he has been really helpful with my issues...

the silvia i bought has been a wiring nightmare, so i'm not surprised if there is a wiring issue somewhere... the guy who did the conversion should be shot!! i had wires shoved into fuses in my fuse box... :action-smiley-069:

ah well... hopefully these wiring issue will be sorted out and i'll be back on the road... :thumbsup:

even though the gears are selecting in the right way, all i have to say is HOLY SHITE!!!

when it comes on boost in 1st gear it just frys the tyres and keeps spinning through 2nd gear... i thought i'd loose this when i converted from manual to automatic (yes, you read that correctly! :lol:) but i'm glad to see its still sweet... :)

Hey, i understand that these available for the r34 tiptronic autos aswell ??...

i understand that it makes the gear changes alot quicker, but with the tiptronic, do the gear changes made via the buttons ont he steering wheel / gear stick (in tiptronic section) quicker aswell? or only good when left in D???

sorry for the Noob question but i couldnt find a mention of it

My understanding is that both the floor shifter and stearing wheel buttons will be a lot crisper.

To be 100% sure you should speak to Mike. (details on the first post)

Yes they are still available.

This is one of the advantages of dealing with a reputable long existing business.

As shown in the comments above the support and service you recieve is excellent.

Give him a call and mention this SAU group buy and he will look after you.

Initially this wasnt one of those "if we can get 20 people" type of group buys, but rather a deal I set up with MV Automatics if he could produce his kits for a discounted price.

I believe that they modify many types of auto-trans, some require valve bodies, others can be modified electronically - just call him and ask.

Hi

I know that several people from overseas have purchased this kits, and were happy with theprobucts and after sales support.

I had a look for an email address but I cant find one, so it may require a phone call (08) 8370 0430 or a fax to get a price for shipping to europe. (or if u have lots of money i'll happily deliver it to you if you pay for my airfare LOL)

Higher speed torque converters of between 2800 and 3000rpm are $410 changeover

which one would be good for my R33 already has stage 2 shift kit but what converter would you suggest going with.?

Generally you'd want a torque converter to match your turbo & application (ie. city/ highway driving, drag). So, if you still have the stock turbo & street tyres the 2800rpm stall would be better suited as, the stock turbo will start to build boost at around ~3000rpm. Also, note that with most turbo engines the converter will have a flash stall higher than 2800rpm, so when launching it will be more like ~3300rpm.

However, with the non-tip-tronic R32's & R33's if you maualise the auto you will loose engine braking in 4th & from 4th->3rd.

Hi there,

If you fit one of these to a R34 GTT do you still get engine braking when in the manual shift mode?

Regards

      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?
