Hey guys,

i got no idea about transmission n shit for my car just got a couple of quick questions (yes they are kinda noob)

1. Do auto r33 s1 N/A's have a rev limiter if i put it in neutral / park? kinda a argument / debate between a few of me and my mates have (dont ask)

2. Say i put my car in 2nd, then drive it get to high revs in 2nd then put in 3rd then rev it out again then Drive. Will this do damage?

thx, leigh.

I don't have an auto r33, but my thoughts would be - Why would the transmission make a difference to whether the engine has a rev limiter? Or what gear the transmission is in at the time?

My answer would be - of course it has a rev limit.

2. Say i put my car in 2nd, then drive it get to high revs in 2nd then put in 3rd then rev it out again then Drive. Will this do damage?

4 speed auto? Probably won't do much, since in this case D and 3rd will be the same thing, but drive will switch it into overdrive (4th, assuming overdrive is selected) if the revs are high enough for it to want to switch.

5 speed? I'm guessing, but going from 3rd to D will just switch it to 4th when the computer wants to (assuming the revs are correct for it to switch to 4th, otherwise it might stay in 3rd), which shouldn't cause it any real issues

(* Unless you're doing this stationary, in which case, yeah, it'll probably break something; *reving out 3rd will probably put you beyond any legal speed limit in australia as well)

No idea whether the R33's N/A's have 4 or 5 speed auto's though, perhaps somebody can clarify

i can only go as low as gear 2 for some reason (which means like 110 k's).. seen some with 1.. whats going on there? how come some are different? (i got 2, 3, D does this mean 5 speed? seems like i have 4.. + overdrive ofcourse)

Edited by leighzor

I might be wrong (I can't remember cause I've never used them, being tiptronic) but my R34 GTT auto only has 2 & 3. They're a 4 speed.

I thought the R33's were 5 speeds, but I don't know if turbo's and N/A's are different.

Tried just counting how many gear changes you go through to work out if it's a 4 or 5 speed? Don't even have to floor it, just count the changes as you go up through the gears.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
