was just wondering how much fluid the r33 auto boxes hold??

checked mine the other day and it was almost bone dry ( even though i had it serviced not long ago, wont go there again).

searched and couldnt find anything so i thought id check the collective wisdom of SAU!!! :santa:

Well did you check it in park with the engine running? The dipsticks on autos are sumtimes hard to read so if you arent getting an accurate reading with it in park you can try neutral. Do this before you blame anyone.

To fill after auto service put 2 litres in then run it thru the gears IE: from park to reverse for a second with your foot on the brake then to neutral for a second then to drive (all with foot on brake). Repeat this 2 or 3 times then check the dipstick and add more Dex as necessary till you get a level on the bottom mark of the hot section.

Deren

BTW: if it were nearly bone dry you wouldnt have any drive at all...

an if its bone dry that means u also have a leak to fix. as said above check in neutral with car idling on level ground. all up from an empty sump to full cold level it should take approx 3 Litres give or take some. use dexron 2 or 3. id be getting that leak fixed soon also.

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
