hey all,

having a wierd prob with the auto .. not sure whats causing it, wondering if anyone else has had a similar prob

usually only happens when the car is cold, after about 5 mins of driving, and only if i have accelorated hard (usually)

the prob is it wont change out of first, will just keep revving away... one way around it is to use the "power / snow" switch to force it into 2nd gear, it will change and hold in that .. but not change up. tried using the shifter to manually change, and doesnt do a thing. then after a few mins of that it will change into 3rd and all will be fine.

any ideas ppl?

cheers

  • 2 weeks later...

from what i was told when i had the shift kit installed they did a service at the same time. i seen ya in adelaide, i had it done @ MV auto's, they seemed pretty good so i wouldnt wanna think they didnt do something when they said they did ??

no harm in having another done tho ...

cheers for the advice

hmm... i was thinking it could be an electronic prob, but i didnt consider the ecu having any affect on it?

i guess it wouldnt hurt at all to do a reset?

does the trans have its on comp, and if so would that be "reset" if the supply is removed too? i wouldnt think the auto comp (if it has one) would learn **** all tho, so it would have nothing to reset back to.

so i explained it ok then if you had the exact same probs i guess ....lol

cheers

i got an alarm installed within first week of buying car, but cant say i noticed it until months later i think.

first would happen once in a blue moon, its progressivly happened more and more often til now when its on kinda a daily basis, perhaps every 2 - 3 days

was it exactly the same prob that i described, if so did it happen to you everytime you would drive the car? or occasionally like mine

cheers again

shannon, my problem was EXACTLY what your talking about. I disconnected my battery overnight, so it may have had an effect on the auto's computer also.

Maybe you have been driving your auto a little like a manual?, holding it in 2nd till redline? *shrugs*

anyway, try disconnect the battery overnight, if it doesnt solve your problem i would suggest a tranny flush.

Shannon:

Just wondering if you had an aftermarket BOV....

...too weak a spring on the valve can cause it to stay slightly open on partial throttle, ie mild acceleration.....and that seems to cause the auto box to stay in gear ever so often...

...easily solved by uprating the spring, or adding a washer or two to shim it out....

If you have a standard recirc BOV, and think it might be weak, borrow someone else's, or blank it off for a bit...just take it easy if you do...

Hope to help..

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
