Chops (Calais) and 4Door_Sleeper (R33) have had theirs re-valved, and Nightcrawler (R34) is planning on it, for hi-po shifts.

Ask one of them about it and maybe get that done the same time as a rebuild. :(

Edit: Or graduate from slushbox school and get a 5spd conversion. :D

Hey Ghostdog

When i had my Statesman i got my Auto re built at a place in Blackwood called MV Automatics think his name is Mick. He does drag cars and all sorts. Does a pretty good job for a reasonable price.

Couldn't agree more, Mike at MV Autos knows what he is talking about and is reasonably priced too.

MV Automatics certainly get a good rap from everyone I know who has been there.

Unfortunately Oosh was slightly mistaken, in that my shifts have been tweaked by electronically increasing line pressure, not by upgraded hardware. Full control of the factory PCM is a wonderful thing.

Holdens have got electronics now? :D

In all seriousness I'm impressed you can do it so simply, are there any major downsides, i.e. do the lines and valving etc. stand up well to the increased pressure long-term?

Edit:GDogg, sorry for the OT, but i think you have your answer now. :)

Cheers for the help fellas.

But its for a 1990 Ford Laser 1.8L

=(

Ill try MV and the one in town.

Cheers.

If it aint performance orientated then go to Rowel & Searle, and talk to Colin or Kelvin - Ive got my Commodore in there at the moment and they are certainly professonal.....

If you want a performance boost then I keep hearing MV Automatics is the way to go - I'll be going there for perfromance work to my Stagea RB25Det auto.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
