4 door turbos are 4 speed with a lock up convertor which often feels like an extra gear but sadly it isnt. just 4 speed

however i have seen a non turbo 4 door r33 gts that had a 5 speed auto. so maybe look into this.

well that explains it then

i wonder if anyone has attempted putting in a 5 speed auto into a turbo? im assuming it would be the same strength wise as a 4 speed?

what is the model number for the 5 speed? what other cars did nissan use it in? if i can source one it might be an interesting path to go down

5 speed with mv manual valvebody, ratchet shifter and black box, maybe a 2800 or 3000 stall = 5 speed manualised auto :D

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?

The 5 speed has 2-3-D+O/D & when left in 2nd the auto ecu selects from 1-2 for you.

Anybody know who can overhaul auto's on the Sunshine Coast? I think mine is getting tired with 200KW ATW.

I'm also very interested in the 5 speed replacement for my 93 R33GTST. Let me know if there is a simple bolt on replacement.

i have been thinking of this but as mine is a daily driver and everyone says the shifts are hard so it turns me off a bit. so do you guys mean that its uncomfortable in traffic or only feels hard when driving the car hard?

OK so this is a very old thread and I thought I would give you all an update on my auto situation.

In august I decided I'm not spending anymore money on my car modifying it, so the decision was made to remove the manualised kit but retain the shift kit.

I sold the manualised kit to my mate (also a forum member here) for a cheap price, he is now running a keas shift kit with the MV black box and the B&M ratchet along with BIG Garrett turbo, injectors, z32 afm, PFC making kW and the auto is going great.

That is an awesome price. It will be good to hear how it all goes.

The shifts can be harsh if your moving slowly (traffic/parking lots) and it tends to not be sure whether it should be in first or second (constantly shifts up and down between gears), the way you overcome this is to engage the snow button which will lock it in second, this will give a smooth ride with no shifting unless you get over km when it will shift to third.

I would suggest you possibly find someone local to you using a shift kit and ask to be taken for a drive in the car.

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

it will only be like that if you mount the shifter backwards, then park is at the bottom and u will accidentally leave your car in first instead of park.

talk is useless

does anyone have vids of these mv shift kits being used?

A fellow SAU memeber took me for a ride in his that had the vavle bodies fitted. It really was savage haha chirped 2nd no matter what you do.

The 5 speed has 2-3-D+O/D & when left in 2nd the auto ecu selects from 1-2 for you.

Mine has the 5 speed, id rather have the abilitly to select 1 2 or 3 on its own insted of first and seccond being selected by the ECU.

hay so can any 1 give me a idiots guide to a shifter and shift kit.

ok first i have a 33 auto 4speed and the OEM shifter has a cable facing forward and a rod going down that connects to the trans (4 selecting gears i think) my question is what is the cable 4 is it needed and if so were do i connect it. and also is it ok to replace the steel rod that connects to the trans with a cable as most after market shifters use a cable.

ok the shift kit what exactly is it, can i fit it my self, and what are my options.

im looking to retain the automatic shifting but be able to use it as a manual auto box and if it could have a trans brake that would just be gravy but its not a necessity.

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.

This is where I need to know more about it. I'm sold on the clutchless manual - I love the idea, however as mentioned I dont want to have to shift forward to change from 1st --> 2nd --> 3rd etc. So in my series 2 R33 what changes do I need to make so that I'm shifting down?

Just changing the valve bodies? Someone please explain. Someone also mentioned whether or not you can remove the overdrive button and make it a 4th shift....can this be done?

Lastly, I have read that the shifts can be brutal. Are the shifts nice and smooth or does the transmission go bang when you change? I did watch the video and didnt hear anything like that. Great video by the way.

*edit*

I forgot. Can you buy like an aftermarket LED that I could mount on the dash or something where it shows what gear I am currently in? I'm thinking along these lines because I dont want the bulky casing that the ratchet shifter sports. I'd be going with a nice leather boot surrounding the shifter.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
