I remember reading a while ago that there was a way to lock the R33 auto trans into 2nd gear, without it kicking back into first.

I cant seem to find the page, could anyone remember what needs to be done to lock it in second?

Thanks

Chris

I am going to a skid pan day and I really want it to stay in second as it keeps kicking back to first. I read a while ago that tuners would do something to lock it in second but for the life of me I forget what it was.

I know this is possibly the biggest thread dig ever, but i have a non turbo auto R33 and my car wont kick down to first at low speed. how can i make it do this / how can i lock the car in first gear so it wont shift up to second? thanks

You're joshing us, right?

At the risk of appearing a know-it-all, might I suggest you use the gearstick to select "1". That should certainly lock it there. As for why it doesn't kick down, might I ask how long since the 'box was serviced?

FWIW, I always drive an auto like a manual - I select the gear the I want for the particular circumstance.

    • Sane enough. Remove the roof liner, because the acid will go everywhere.
    • Thanks guys, I really appreciate the help and experienced opinions.  I have spent a lot of my life working on boats so I'm pretty good with fibreglass. I'll take everybody's advice in here;  I'll cut a little more of the 2nd layer away as it's a bit crunchy rust and also it's sitting high now. Then I'll wire brush it all a bit to get off anything loose, then I'll soak the bejesus out of it all in rust converter. I'll make sure to get a little hose piece and feed it into all the holes and gaps between the roof layers. Then I'll fibreglass up the holes.  Then I'll get a pallet of filler and mix it with 3 buckets of hardener and hope that is enough to build up the roof corner.  Does that sound sane? Is one type of filler better than others for this?
    • My goals for it atm are to get it registered, respray and some mild power gains eventually... I picked up the car from an elderly gentleman near the border of NSW and VIC, its honestly a bit rough and looks like its been driven on a farm (because there was so much dirt underneath). Last week I dropped the subframe and emptied the old fuel out + added a new fuel pump (think the old one went bad from old fuel). Now I'm onto fixing a coolant leak at the rear of the engine + adding a new radiator as the old one is corroded. After that i have a new bumper, coils (as the old were leaking) and lots more
    • Welcome buddy! Plenty on here and YouTube. What are your plans for it? Good luck with the Rwc and Rego bud!
    • Love this so much! Please post a photo when you have a bike on the trailer.  I was a little bit worried about having a tow bar on the Skyline, but having it hidden behind the number plate is genius
