howmuch it cost ya

I got mine off an sau member who was going to manual, I got it all for $560 in the car. I saved alot of money fitting it myself.

The normal price is around the $1000 mark. My mate is instaling this kit in the next few weeks.

Value for money I am very happy, my last 33 was manual, I had a cusion button clutch in it and I chewed thru that in 10 months.

Apparently these actually make ur box last longer as there is very little slip between gears. (as mike from MV explained to me)

nice work. shouldnt that be the otherway around tho? pull back to shift up and push forward to shift down?
Yer it depends on the shifter.

I got mine off an sau member though, so maybe he chose to get the one that is the push forward to shift up type.??

The sequence of shifting up/ down the gears has nothing to do with the shifter, it's the fact that it has a forward (standard) pattern valve body. Also, you'll find most of the B&M ratchet shifters have changeable gates so, they're compatible with both fwd pattern (P-R-N-3-2-1) & reverse pattern (P-R-N-1-2-3) valve bodies.

I've got the pro rachet in my 31, although a KEAS manual valve body instead of the Mv.

KEAS full manual forward pattern valve body

Custom made 2500 hi stall

H/D front band + new 3/4 clutches

3" one-peice tailshaft

Kaaz 1.5 way

Good driveline package :D

Excuse the shonky pic:

EDIT: This was a 2nd hand box with 120,000kms (series 3 R31 uses the same auto as the 33)

Seals were replaced along with the front band and 3/4 clutches. Not a full rebuild.

Supporting 200rwkw and 750nm, no hasstles.

nice has any1 done any internal work 2 their boxes or just the shift kits

Dynamic Race Transmissions 02 4732 5680 at Penrith rebuilt my thrashed out auto box(rb20det)

retained the auto valve body but it shifts very fast and hard. plus a 2500rpm stall.

Im thinking whether to get a manual valve body or not.

Oh man good to be back to the forum, especially to see this topic come up again. As soon as I can access half-decent internet somewhere, I can watch the video just to be sure to take the plunge and give MV a call. I was about to post the following...well here it is anyway I reckon it's an interesting read for the new-age auto box fans out there ^^. Problem is I am in NZ and I don't know of anybody doing this valve body stuff here so I used to read about it on the forums then I got busy over the past year or so and ended up postponing trying to get in touch with MV. I found it a little annoying not being able to e-mail them as it is the best way to put a specific request when you're on another landmass...but I suppose all happens in good time and my goals are now much more defined than before after a solid 25000 kms of skyline ownership. Now for a long-overdue phone call. Cheers guys!

"I have a R34 gtt auto and a R32 gts25 auto..just got the R32 for a dialy driver coz R34 was killing me with fuel bills. Anyway, I actually don't have a choice but to drive auto so manual conversion out of the question. The 32's gearbox is old and feels beaten up so I am considering several options, as follows:

1. Get a 5-speed tiptronic 'box from a M35 stagea (at least i think it is the 5-speed as found on 350z/V35 skyline etc...) which I'd use in the R34 then fit the R34 tiptronic in the R32..obviously this is probably an obsolete choice but it would greatly improve both cars and I might be able to score the stagea box for fairly cheap. Anyway, I am mainly worried about bellhousing matching and driveshaft in this case. Obviously the gearbox ECU in both cases will have to be retrofitted to the engine ECU's and the 32 'box and ECU relocated to a dark corner until a. I can be stuffed trying to do something productive with it or b. I drop it off at the nearest wrecker's

2. Try to source a 5-speed auto from older nissans without tiptronic and fit that to the R32. As it currently has a 4-speed + O/D, I am also wondering about bellhousing/driveshaft matching on either side of the gearbox. I also need to know which RWD nissan models carried those 5-speed boxes so I can hunt for the parts, and if it is a little tricky then can I simply use any of the boxes from RB25 NA's from R32 through to R34 with the factory R32 gearbox ECU and will they all match up with the factory R32 driveline?"

I hope this starts something fun. Now imagine a 5-speed tiptronic with the MV kit behind a good 'ol turbo RB!!

going to ring this bloke today... hmmm... manual shift kit in the the celsior.... this is definatly going to make a differance... mwhahahaha

just a quick question... and probably a stupid one... if you leave it in 4th with that switch can you still change up and down......

second if left in 3rd or forth and you come to a complete stop what happens if you forget to jup it back down to 1st... does it do it automatically or not and does it stall forcing it to stop in 4th gear.

To answer your first question. If you leave the switch on and gear down it will work but as you change back up from 1st to 2nd it goes into nuetral. (iv forgotten to switch it off a few times lol)

As for you 2nd question. I somtimes leave it in 3rd and come to a stop at the lights, but if you try this in 4th it labours as you slow down. Once you come to a complete stop it is just like bein in first, BUT you have to remember to shift down to 1st before you take off or you will be in 3rd.(you will hear plenty of spool from the turbo but you wont get moving to quick)

cold fusion: afaik, the r33 4door turbos came with a 5spd

im pretty sure my r33 4 door only has 4 speed (1 2 D and OD) unless there are 2 levels of overdrive or something?

im assuming a 5 speed would be 1 2 3 D and OD though?

I have been contemplating the black box upgrade for ages, very good to hear and see some real sorta footage of the difference that it makes.

I have the stage 2 body and 3k stall, i think this could be on the cards soon.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
