Hello, i have a 1989 Nissan Skyline, which is duel fuel and an automatic. My questions are: I snapped a bolt off the tray at the bottom of the automatic transmission pan and was wondering what to do. Is it expensive to get the @#*%$ out? and was wondering about the power shift, should that be on all the time? Thanks in advance. Rob.

I'd be ringing a trans place if your worried about the power shift.

As for the bolt, just drill it out, and heli-coil it. Easy. Or if you can drill it out without stuffing the thread, then it's even easier.

Does it leak with the broken bolt ?, if not, you may consider leaving it,

or you could drill it, tap it, or have you tried using a centre punch, and gently tap the side (off centre) to see if you can make it turn,

Powershift is designed for those times when you are towing or need to get up a hill or overtake. It won't huret leaving it on all the time, just means that it will shift later when your giving it some.

Your powershift locks out fourth gear (overdrive) and changes the shift points. You will use heaps more fuel if you run around with powershift on all the time.

    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
