Hey all, i have notice the auto box behaving a bit odd lately. And by lately, the last month, month and a half or so. :dry:

After i start up, i am on a highway doing 100 in a few minutes. It is holding revs at 2900rpm at 100 klms, then after a certain amount of time, it settles back to 2650 odd where it always has.

On colder days, it seems to take ages to find that final 'gear ratio' for lack of a better word. But when i start her up and get on the highway later on in the day when it has warmed up a bit it settles to 2650rpm quite suddenly.

Is this normal? Has the cold affected anyone else's slush boxes at all? I put a shift kit thru the auto last sat, flushed the fluid etc, but it still seems to do it.

Cheers,

Chris

its the toque converter locking up. is normal so dont worry. doesnt do it suddenly when cold is cos the oil is still thick. the oil thins out wen hot.

So if i flush the lot out and replace with fully synthetic, would that make a difference at all?

When i put the shift kit in, i only drained and replaced with the normal rubbish.

I am planning on an upgraded 3000rpm torque convertor soonish, so i might do it then

My car has done allegedly 64000 KMs, about 7000 KMs ago I serviced my auto tranny with Castrol Transmax Z... meant to be one of the best fully synthetic oils out there for autos.

I know that the oil in question is castrol, not sure what it is exactly. Fingers crossed its this one your refering to lol

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
