My auto has decided not to work propally to the point where it wouldnt down gear out of third and found it very hard to move uphill in third.

turned the car off for a few mins, turned back on, the A/T light was flashing for 1min then off it went, but have no over drive. and its had a slow leak for about 1month now, but nothing went wrong now its decided to.

cheers guys.

rang Knox spoke to burt. there not open for business today but he was happy to listen.

even wanted to know a code of the plate in on the firewall. (most blokes would give to shits and tell you to ring back)

quoted about $140 for a service kit, but i explained to him what happend and he said it sounded seriouse. later check the dip stick. basically nothing left only like 3ml on it ..... must of lost alot of fluid last night .... only just had the 100,000k done last week

just got a fluid leak so i just hope its that. loss of pressure not working right. not to mention no oil on the dipstick.

just putting a service kit in.

IMO these guys are the best. Solved all my difficult issues with a number of auto boxes that nobody was able to. In fact I was so suprised at the incompetence of many places I just dont bother even as its a bit far for me to go but I still go there as I take it there once, its fixed and I never go back.

I forgot contact details, whoops.

But not this week, he needs to do a run-in service my auto :)

ima give knox a shot. see how they operate.

was told not to get my service kit done there, cause the bands in the auto, they didnt tighten good. to much hassel to get to them.

i'll make sure its all good before i pay up .

thanks guys :)

got my car back from knox autos.

they hooked it up to there comp did there test, couldnt come up with anything , everything was running fine.

they guess its the soilenoids, or the wiring loom. but wont do anything till im ready to cough up the cash for them to get stuck into it.

cause i let them know i need it for the weekend, so they didnt wanna get to involved at this time.

asked them if they fixed the leak, it was a gasket seal, they didnt fix it cause when i go back going to have to buy another gasket seal for there price of $120-140.

so they topped up the fluid, told me to keep an eye on the level and top up when need to. and it should be right for the long drive, just bring it back when i can.

so all there work and advice and fluid and testing .... FREE !!! :) very good and helpful people. but they dont do shift kits for mine, RE401B ...they do RE401A though . dodgey !

for shift kit.. or ne thing auto really, or gtr

speak to dave at RVO automatics.

97945004, 0424614710

for all the hp boys. he's in dingley ave dandenong

im sure he'll be very happy to help

tell him brad(sancho) sent u haha

For a shift kit I would use the MV automatics one. It doesn't matter where you go really, they will all give you the same result, it comes down to price and how helpful they are.

I personally chose the MV kit which I purchased second hand from a forum member.

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
