Automatic Transmission Shift Kit. - Updated Oct 2006


Recommended Posts

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 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,

so may somebody can help me to get one of this valve body upgrades for my Stagea?

I'am from Austria, does this company has an email or so?

and do the shipping to europe?

Thanks

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)

MY QUESTION IS,

has anyone in Brisbane done this? and where did you take it to get done? prefably north side?

anyone?

cheers

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.

:D

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

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
