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

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Jarsky · Posted

      This. A 3d wheel alignment is like $120...just take it to the shop. Since theres probably multiple adjustments that need to be made after changing something. Mine has front/rear lower arms, traction rods, tension rods, camber arms, toe arms, front upper arms, hicas kit, sway bars and coilovers. I measure from the edge of the bolt holes on the originals and set the same length on all the adjustable stuff to dial it as close as I could to OEM. Took it straight for alignment; it didnt feel right at all...after alignment, it feels perfect. Similarly i've just changed the springs on another car; and I still needed multiple adjustments to bring it back in spec.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Its a well known brand in New Zealand; its a rebrand of the Rhino RAV3.  I don't know what the wiring difference *is* between the rev.1 (installed about 15 years ago) and rev.2; but as you say I would think its reasonable that it uses the same immobiliser relay circuits. I had a look but couldnt see a similar harness; but didnt move things around since I didnt want to mess with it   It was one of AVS well known Authorised Installers; I spoke to AVS themselves about it but theyre unsure hence seeking advice more so from the skyline community who are more familiar with the actual car and its wiring. Im in Auckland; but the installer is on the other side of the city so hes very reluctant to come back to even look at it to confirm something isnt connected into the wrong wire.  I dont want to drop the name since they *did* do a really good job for the most part. Everything is very tidy and he fully replaced all the alarm wiring, all the sensors, the wiring to the door motors, installed a switch which was never installed in the first place...really happy with the alarm install itself..just not this one issue. We all make mistakes, if it is the alarm, I just want my fuel pump getting proper switched, fused, power as it was; without having to shell out for an auto electrician to switch a wire and tell me it was the alarm.

      Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.

      Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
