Hi everyone i have a automatic skyline R33 GTST S1 i have run a A T Cooler instead of running it thought my radiatar because it was easier to by a manual radiatar than auto radiatar and i also run a PWR Transmission cooler just to make sure i was wondering what line i could get accurate tranmission temp reading because i think i have it in the wrong line cause it is on reading 110 D F which is about 44 D C and i have a funny feeling i have got the sender after the coolers instead of before the coolers.

cheers joe

are you only running it through one oil cooler? how big is the oil cooler? running it through the radiator is recommended because it removes a lot more heat than wat a little external one does. as for the temp sensor why dont u mount it in the actual sump. then you'll know wat the actual temp is in the box

hey mate thanx for the reply it is running though both coolers and they are both 19 row coolers and i thought about putting it in the sump of the box but i was told the sump would worp with the heat because you would have to weld a nut in so the sender could screw in.Wouldn't it leak if you didn't weld it

just silvier solder it in with a oxy an the solder rod. if ur careful an do it properly it doesnt affect the sump at all. 19 row coolers should be ok but you'll still have to watch how hot you get it

      Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
