a torque converter is a very efective upgrade for autos from what i can tell from the performance buildups technical tips no1 mag i got a month or 2 ago has a 7 or 8 page writeup on em.

has to be the last performance modification you make to your car tho so once you have done everything else you want because they are made to suit the car.

Hmmmm I was looking at possibilities for upgrades for my 34 gtt also. Am physically limited to use the auto so have been kickin dust all over to find upgrades...and MV Autos has indeed come up in many places. From what i've read so far, they can do a stage1 shift kit for skylines for 300 to 400 bucks and not only does it make the shifts quicker, but this also translates to less wear on the gearbox internals coz the factory setup which allows excessive slip induces more wear on all the rotating parts to gain more smoothness...but you don't buy a 300hp car to cruise the boulevards at 30kph...

I stay in New Zealand though so if anyone else on this forum is from NZ and knows where i could source PROPER shift kits there, gimme a holla please.

Oh, and when you have the right kit for you, ask about torque converters because this also comes up in all the threads i've read so far including of course the one above (higher stall revs for gruntier take-offs). I think less slip will also mean better fuel consumption which is worth noting coz this thing's pretty damned thirsty when you drive it hard.

Good luck and keep us posted if u manage to source the kit and fit it. I wanna learn as much about it before i take the plunge..although now it's more a matter of actually finding where to get one rather than whether or not to..

cheers

    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
