  1. Hi guys this is my first post! TLDR at the bottom!! So a bit of backstory- Im currently having a big issue with my Auto GT25 R34 where it's stuck in limp mode (3rd gear only). The code is showing a solenoid issue and the A/T light is flashing upon start up. Things I've done to fix the issue: - replacing the torque converter - installing ×2 new transmissions - replacing just the solenoids - AFM is fine - continuity/ grounding and any kind of wiring is all fine - handed it off to 3 different mechanics who basically said "I can't figure it out, anyway you owe me $800 now." - Changed both transmission ECU's - tested the IACV to ensure it was correct I can't think of anything im possibly missing, and it seems as though no one can figure it out. There's no possible way it's the solenoids or a mechanical issue with the transmission. After installing a new trans ECU it worked almost perfect and then minutes after the A/T light started flashing and went into limp mode yet again. I can see LOTS of other people have had the same issue but theirs either was resolved by any of the above things mentioned or they just manual swapped their car. I've spent almost 3 grand in parts and labour and 2 years trying to resolve this issue So ANYWAY, I've decided to also manual swap my car considering I was planning on doing so in the future anyway. Before anyone tells me "if you want a manual, you should have bought a manual from the start" I bought it for 8 grand a couple years ago when I couldn't drive manual and when they were worth about that much, and the car didn't skip a beat until 60,000km later, now a manual coupe R34 is worth at least 25 grand, and I can't exactly sell my car in this condition to make some decent money off it to save and buy a new one. So, where are the best places to buy a manual conversion kit and any tips on doing so? I can see the skyline shed is selling a kit but I know it's missing a few bits which is what I need help with. TLDR: I'm deciding to do a manual swap and need suggestions on where to buy parts and any tips on doing the conversion itself. Any help or advice is appreciated!!
  2. Just responding because I'm also having the same issue!
  3. Hi @Jakevus, I'm experiencing the EXACT same issue and I have yet to find an answer myself. I was wondering if you've found any resolutions yet considering it's been quite some time?
