Hey guys, whilst driving along the motorway today i noticed my car riding in "d" gear, it got worst and worst and before i knew it, i could barely go up to 30km....the revs would just fly up, and fly straight down, as if in neutral.....what does this mean, it feels as though it jams up in 3rd and doesnt want to go into 4th???

BTW 1st and 2nd are running fine, 2nd gear was wat i used to get bak home, as i revved higher but it was moving unlike "d".

the auto's for a r33 are generally pretty cheap. They usually are sold for around the $300 mark i think. Manual conversion would be a lot more expensive (about $3000 so cheaper to sell auto skyline and buy a manual one).

If you want something in between those two figures maybe re-build the auto with stronger internals and a new valvebody etc.

just courious, how many RWKWs could the stock GTST AUTO box take before it breaks?

Chris

Around 250rwkw (or a turbo upgrade) and you'll be wanting to strengthen the box with a bigger transmission cooler.

i just done a auto conversion on my r33 and cost 4500, gone are the days of the 3000 conversion. i am selling my auto to luket01 at the moment for a spare. i can get hold of him and see if he still wants it?

the box is at xspeed and will require picking up from there if he does'nt want it .

sorry probly to far away, in w.a

cheers, well before any of this happened, i was going to fix up my car a little and sell it, so im really looking for the cheapest alternative, which would be to buy a 25t auto box (~300) and replace, correct?how much would labour cost for such a job?

also im going to have around 200rwkw, will the stock auto box handle this sort of power easy?

im about to replace the whole gearbox with a 2nd hand one, 500 all up inc labour, though i've been told that i'll need 7L of atf fluid???, i only filled 4L after draining mine, the guy said that its ~4L for the Transmission, and around 2-3L fluid needed for the torque converter???

everyone i heard says around 4L is right

He is right, you'll need at least 7l if the trans an convertor have been drained. Just out of curiosity, did it just go all of a sudden etc, and is it making any nasty noises in any of the other gears?

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I used to have Walbro 255's when they were a pretty common update. (or were they 044? 040?) In any case I had a dirty tank. I thought the tank was good, but I would find the filter would clog in maybe ~50km of driving. If the issue persists, well, your fuel system or tank has crap in it that the pump is sucking up.

      Hi. Ok thanks for the info. I/we do not know what tune is on that Nistune ECU so it is why there is stock ECU and that Nistune is for later when the car is done. I have guy who tunes Nistune and other ECU so i will then take it to him to see and properly tune for the car   And for the update. On 99,9% it is bad fuel pump. Which is wierd cuz it is like 2 years old(brand new walbro 255) and that filter (also brand new) was dirty.  I was alwaya pumped premium(100) on very good petrol station so i dont know how is that possible...

      Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.

      So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here
