Nightcrawler Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 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.

S13 SecaBoy Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 (edited) 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... ah well... hopefully these wiring issue will be sorted out and i'll be back on the road... 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...

4door_Sleeper Posted June 27, 2007 Author Share Posted June 27, 2007 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.

4door_Sleeper Posted November 15, 2007 Author Share Posted November 15, 2007 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.

4door_Sleeper Posted November 18, 2007 Author Share Posted November 18, 2007 (edited) 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) Edited November 18, 2007 by 4door_Sleeper Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/62854-automatic-transmission-shift-kit-updated-oct-2006/page/15/#findComment-3482273 Share on other sites More sharing options...

R334door(s2) Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 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.?

pkblade Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Higher speed torque converters of between 2800 and 3000rpm are $410 changeoverwhich 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.

stevie g Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Hi there, If you fit one of these to a R34 GTT do you still get engine braking when in the manual shift mode?

Basti Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 should do. isnt engine braking a function of a lower gear? you arent removing any gears, just making it shift faster Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/62854-automatic-transmission-shift-kit-updated-oct-2006/page/15/#findComment-3798328 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkblade Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 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.
