Hey all,

Just wanted to give a big shout out to Michael and all the crew at Knox Automatics in Rowville, Vic. Just got my shift kit put in and damn its the best!!! So yeh i highly recommend these guys, they install the keas system and service the transmission for roughly $400 and its a top job. Gear changes are very smooth still considering the perfomance difference, its like bang bang bang instantanious shifts... im in love! Cheers bois!

- JT.

Good service + good product!

Made my car more drivable and predictable at the expense of jerky gear shifts at low speeds (<15m/h), but offers much more control during normal driving conditions as the transmission isn't taking its own sweet time in changing gears.

+1 for Knox Automatics

Anyone got contact details for them? I looked up Knox Auto's in white pages and yellow pages and nothing came up.

After a month with this:

+: Faster shifts.

-: Driving slowly around the carpark with the transmission jumping from first to second and first again feels really jerky, which I solved by putting it into "snow", to keep it at 2nd gear until I reach normal roads.

Recommended!

Sorry to dig up the topic. I'm really new to my R34 so excuse the noob question. When manually changing gears it's quite laggy, it seems to wait until it thinks it's appropriate to shift. Is this pretty normal? Is it waiting for me to take my foot off throttle slightly? Not sure what to expect, never had a tiptronic style trans before.

I've read really great things about the Stage 2 Shift Kits, definitely plan to get one in the near future after a few other important things (both car and non-car related).

Has anyone had the same upgrade done in Brisbane? Anyone recommend a workshop to carry it out hoepfully around the same price as the above? I'm hoping this will solve the frustrations I have with my laggy auto box :D

can one put these kits in by themselves with the right tools etc, or is it a delicate matter that needs the skillful hands of a auto trans surgeon?

i have heard of people self installing the MV kits, but for 395 drive in/out at knox, and IIRC the MV kit is 450 for the valvebody alone, and they are change over, just drive in/out IMO

      To be Frank (always liked that name), I reckon this is a better idea. I'm an R32 man from day 1 and the really good surviving examples that are still in stock form should stay that way. Let ye conscience guide you my son 🙂

      Serious answer: The Japanese call them "HCR32純正アルミホイール"　(HCR32 Junsei arumi wheel). https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=9781a9b17bdb0a90&q=HCR32純正アルミホイール&uds=ADvngMi969x8VO53s3Ns6zY_q0mz1wQSG62T0CP-XYz351Bz4k-UlCLmEIs3_DOvTIrJbtR53zUINohMWufGSNcE7u-Sy3WX5TUjyDJHK7ocoDfeYw5W1tSwzUlYREw7kf4AsG4TMceIn7jdSxdsPXSr015SPQ0N4d0VoByGkenzSrAe8dyXSHA-cFV7LpaAVKCIPCKphRBK4ExnPj5Wp8Ymbl6ZrzN4uV9O1oqNcySxxJLogfY6FULbGlMPmheHkf5T89XXkWHUmA-Kn76muIhfC4LNQ0WaaP4QrndS6u2ovf8NUIsYJ7oFJ81Is4MDHNu_WMQr5vRcNCw-OO7NiSgP3rP02XVontjydtRrPYYnhoyPrwFoPHU&udm=2&prmd=isvnmbtz&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjYlNzYxcuGAxW72DQHHb8ODIAQtKgLegQIDhAB&biw=1920&bih=911&dpr=1 The English name for them would be "(insert model name) genuine wheels"?  As a side note, they fit perfectly on 1st and 2nd gen Suzuki Swift Sports: https://www.google.com/search?q=HCR32純正アルミホイール+スズキスイフト&sca_esv=9781a9b17bdb0a90&udm=2&biw=1920&bih=911&ei=aBBkZsT2KMS60-kP8IGZwAE&ved=0ahUKEwjEyoTbxcuGAxVE3TQHHfBABhgQ4dUDCBA&uact=5&oq=HCR32純正アルミホイール+スズキスイフト&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiNkhDUjMy57SU5q2j44Ki44Or44Of44Ob44Kk44O844OrIOOCueOCuuOCreOCueOCpOODleODiEjCXFCgA1iiWHALeACQAQCYAYkBoAHzDaoBBDE4LjK4AQPIAQD4AQGYAgCgAgCYAwCIBgGSBwCgB_wH&sclient=gws-wiz-serp

      Took a little trip  went to nismo hoping the get my fuel tank hoses and unfortunately they told me they didn’t have stock luckily I was able to go to a Nissan parts store and they were able to order them in for me  then can home and cleaned the tank with some degreaser and fitted the new hoses before putting it back in the car

      100% I’ll hack into the 33. Strap a turbo onto the RB25DE and/or put the 25 head on a 30 block. 33 passed in cos the reserve was too high. I’ll try lowballing it again and negotiate. Aim is to have it landed and on the road for under 15k, then spend the same amount on top in mods.
