Automatic Transmission Shift Kit. - Updated Oct 2006

[HR31COUPE]

Are these prices going to be a continual thing or just for this group buy? I'm installing a R34 RB25 and auto box into my HR31 Skyline and would be interested in getting the box beefed up slightly but it wont be ready for about a month or so.

Cheers,

Allen

I think you will be OK for the next few weeks (so long as others are taking up the group buy - cos I can see it taking a week or so turn around for each block of 4 Mike can make)

So who has rung up for this already.

[lukits01]

I have! Sent the fax and all first thing monday

Also getting a transmission oil cooler kit

Will call them again soon just to make sure all the paperwork is done ok

after all this... Im actually still a bit blur to how a new valvebody actually improves the gearbox's durability and shift quality... :confused:

[4door_Sleeper]

Valve body - controlls the pressure and timming for gear changes. The higher the pressure the faster the gear change.

Durability - Slower shifts mean that the bands (clutch packs) slide together much slower, thus more wear and heat, but very smooth. Fast shifts are a little less smooth but produce less wear on the bands and less heat.

Ill be calling up and ordering mine later this week, ive just moved out so thing have been pretty hectic lately

im still in though, and those to install make sure you post up a report for everyone

[linkems]

Excuse my ignorance but where does the valve body fit on the auto gearbox. Is it a gearbox out job?, if im correct i have taken off a couple oil pans on various transmissions and when you remove the pan, the valve body is right there? hence its a pretty easy do it your self job?

Also can someone calling mv ask what modifications he recomends to handle 280-300rwkw range? Will a tranny cooler and valve body be enough or is there a lot more to do.

You take the pan off the bottom and there it is. Not many bolts and it drops down. Don't forget to drain the fluid first...

I'll be ordering mine first thing next week. Been on a cruise (ship)so the bank account is a bit dry.

[nedb]

I've ordered mine today.

[tikki169]

Right screw it I've ordered mine. Fax has been sent with details. Now it's just a waiting game

[nedb]

I've ordered the transmision cooler kit too coz my R32 doesn't have a cooler. It's $187.

[knore]

So the trans cooler kit is $187?

do you know what size the cooler is?

I havent ordered mine yet, will do so next week, ended up getting food poisoning from fasta pasta on valentines day

[nedb]

I think it was 29x22x2 or something like that. I think there is a difference between the oil and transmision fluid coolers but don't quote me on that.

$187 is a OK price for the whole kit.

LOL at getting food poissoning for Valentines. What a way to finish off the day.

lol tell me about it

mod your car have some decent priced coolers aswell, http://www.modyourcar.com.au/?cPath=5_272

was thinking of upgrading and putting the trans cooler in a better spot considering i wacked a big ass intercooler infront of it last year :Oops:

[nedb]

I just checked and its 280x220x15.

I saw those coolers on ModYourCar and I'm not sure if they are the same thing coz those are 50 mm thick.

I think the one they're selling is something like the one in the pic.

I'm not sure how good are they.

i got a B&M cooler kit from autobarn for about $140 comes with all brackets hoses clamps etc and looks alot stronger than the others like yours pictured so wont bend fins etc

model was 70264

[nedb]

The PIC was juust an example what I think the cooler will look not the actual thing. I'll speak to Mike and check what kind of cooler it is.

I don't know much about these so I'm not sure what to look out for. All I know so far is the dimensions and that the whole kit is included.

[knore]

yeh if im going to get a new cooler and move to a better location i want one thats bigger than the standard cooler thats for sure

[nedb]

How big is the standard cooler? I got an R32 and it doesn't have a cooler at all, it only goes thru the radiator.

My credit card has been charged on Friday so I hope I'll receive it soon.

[lukits01]

standard cooler is tiny, about 1/3 of the upgrade

for those curious people

here's a pic of the MV cooler upgrade

got it today with the new valvebody
