R33 Auto Question

Ive almost finished doing an engine conversion on a Datsun 260C into which ive put an R33 RB25DET and auto box. The car is at the auto elecs at the moment and theyre telling me they need a button which was probably mounted near the shifter in the centre console that has something to do with the auto box (maybe a power/economy style button).

So what im asking is for someone who has an auto R33 to check their centre console and tell me what this button actually says or if it even exists and possibly send me a pic of it so i know what im looking for.

Better still, if you have one of these buttons and its plug lying around that your willing to part with please let me know so i can get the car on the road.

Help appreciated!

I removed my auto about 12 months ago but i remember the button, actually its still in the console just not plugged in. the button says power/snow .. Id get a photo for you but the car is in getting a turbo upgrade atm.

yep there is a button its a A/T button snow and power, i think snow will hold it in the selected gear and power is to kick it back a gear..i have one if u need it...as it is still in my consol unplugged since i done a manual conversion. Are u sure they are talking about the A/t button or the O/D button thats on the side of the shifter??

Talkin about the A/T button as i have the R33 shifter mounted in the 260c and they said there was another button they were after.

I need one ASAP but with the button i also need the plug that goes with it and some of the wiring connected to it, would you be willing to send them to Sydney for me? If so how much you want for it.

Let me know via PM and hopefully we can work something out.

Thanx

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      Coolant leak?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
