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

holds a couple of records for VERY tuff autos and does a lot of drag-spec boxes

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

has a very tuff gtr too [ZILA33]

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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
