Hey guys/gals

seriously thinking of makeing that tranny "warmer" of mine in my r32 gtst auto redundant. I noticed r33 auto's have an external tranny cooler, was wandering is this enough/efficient for a "stock" ( no more then 140rwkw) r32gtst auto?

Also how do you change/flush out auto fluid? is it just a matter of dropping a tranny hose going into the radiator and waiting for it to leak out, or do i run the engine in P until its dry?

i am just wanting to flush out the old oil and add new oil in(which u do thru the tranny dipstick pipe right?

thankyou!

never run the transmission dry

its pritty easy to do but i suggest you get approx 10L or more of fluid before starting

remove the trans hose off radaitor (after the radiator/cooler) meaning the cooler will be flushed also.

you will need to pump the fluid in as soon as the key is turned on, and i do suggest you get someone on the key.

ok once your all set up with the hose off and in a big bucket, one you dont want to use again get your 2nd persion to hit the key.

the fliud will now be flowing and you should be adding fluid all the time at this point.

also keep an eye on the draining fluid, once you see the fluid change from a brown burnt color to the color of the new stuff thats when your helper shoud key off and stop pumping fluid in.

connect up all hoses again and check your level, adjust as nessesery. if its too full than remove the hose again and crank but not start motor. reconect and check level again.

--------- DONT MISS THIS STEP-----------------

once your happy, go for a spin. come back and check the level again. and your set

and about the tranny cooler idea, yes verry good idea, mount it all up after doing the flush and dont use old coolers (there cheep $110 or so for a kit)

no point.

go into supercheap auto, they sell PWR cooler cores for cheap. i saw one bigger than mine (which i got from tranny cooler group buy) and it was cheaper. the bigger core was $80 and the group buy was somewhere near $118. and you'd get the trans cooler pipes for around $15.

but in the end if you want an r33 auto cooler core, ive got my standard one here >_<

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
