hey everyone i am new to the forum, just thought id ask a quik question,

my r33 gts-4 automatic is having a major prob with gear selection,

il give the best description i can

park= normal operation but cant rev the car past 3000rpm as if it is stalling up in gear

reverse= acting as a neutral, doesnt move forward or back, and also wont rev past 3000 rpm

neutral= is selecting a forward gear

drive= operating as normal, shifting fine and revs out as it should in each gear

2nd= as normal

1st= as normal

basicly its a real headache as i cant reverse the car, just wondering wat yall think cauld be causing it, i have checked all the wiring and it all appears to be fine, has this been a problem with any other auto's? cheers Dan

i bought the car with this problem, the guy said it happened from sitting, which i didnt think was right, so i took it to nq automatics up here and they told me it was caused from the clutches slipping, and had got that hot that they had melted together, i have located another trans in townsville for a reasonable price, so my worries r gone for now

ah k i get ya now. he must have cained the shit out of it to get it that hot. MAKE SURE U FLUSH THE OIL COOLER LINES OUT WITH SOME SOLVENT, otherwise all the crap that has gone through the lines an blocked the cooler will melt your new box. also recomend putting an extra external oil cooler on it after the radiator

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
