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 >_<

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
