good box. fairly resistant to abuse if you service it well. much awesomer (yes i made that word up) if shift kitted and tans cooled. they are a smart box. will change gears how you want it to once you learn how to control the box with your foot

Umm..... yeah. If you want a nice auto, its ok. They can be a tad sluggish between gear's.

Im on my 4th auto now in my r33.

1st died while driving at 80k's on the monaro, all by its self. I lost drive and overdrive. I didnt abuse the box at all, I still dont know what i did to kill it.

My 2nd box...... well lets just say park to 1st @ rev limiter = bad.

3rd, the hose that runs under the radiator to the box oil cooler came out of the clip and mashed itself into the engine fan. No oil = dead box. I noticed that it was doing odd things and pulled over right away but i was too late.

4th box is in the car and still going strong.

:P

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
