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.

Any of you very helpful people know any good places to get a service kit installed ?

Fast , quality work and affordable ?

South east would be preferd too

Cheers TJ

I use Yarra Valley Automatics on Maroondah Court in Lilydale. They definitely know what they're doing. Customer service/turn-around can leave a little to be desired, but they're definitely good.

If ur out east :

Lilydale Automatics

Factory 36, Industrial Gardens Cavehill Rd,

Lilydale, VIC 3140

p: (03) 9735 4555

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.

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 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.

      Genuine nismo N1 rear pods - anyone got any?

      By Sleepergm · Posted

      I’m sure this has been discussed many times. But anyone have any or know someone that is selling genuine N1 rear pods? I’m still shocked no one replicates these yet. Looking to buy some. Added a photo of the part. 👍🏻

      Alcon TA6 Calipers on R33 GTST - Flexing

      By Nismo32 · Posted

      Hello, The dog bone wont have much to do with this - the calliper applies a load about the disc - the outside of the calliper is more flexible than the inside by virtue of it not haveing the big torqued down bolts, additional metal structure on the caliper itself, and mostly not being cantilevered. So the outside of the calliper is pushing away as its more bendy and brining the inside with it as an equal pressure on both sides of the caliper looks to cause more flex on the outside - which makes sense. I have done this same thing with the calliper unbolted from the dog bone - same thing happens. Although id have to watch more carefully to see how much more the outside moves than the inside in this case. Im guessing there is a point in the pedals travel where the pressure is not actually increasing in the system - its just volumne displacemnt - and because the outside of the calliper is more flexy, it receives that volume. Have gone back to Alcon again - but beyond a resolution there I would stay clear of this calliper and possibly any of the lighweight type of callipers - especially if you have the smaller 15/16" master cylinder. Cheers.

      Yes, you can very clearly see from more than one angle that it is the whole caliper moving left-right, not deformation of the caliper. The top moves, the bottom moves. Equally. It should be possible to see where the movement is occurring. Just need to look more closely.

      Water pump replacement - Sydney region

      By billyons · Posted

      Hi Folks, my 2009 Skyline 370GT “Crossover” wagon is losing water and has been diagnosed as needing a water pump replacement (it’s an internal timing-chain driven unit, not the usual electric type that seems to be used across many manufacturers). Am looking for any repairer recommendations in the Sydney /Wollongong region who can be trusted and are experienced in this sort of work on the VQ 36 engine. Many thanks….Bill

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      While all of the above makes sense, we're not talking about some Ling Long calipers of AliExpress; Alcon would have to be one of the top 5 caliper suppliers in the world and these are not their budget units. If there were manufacturing defects in the caliper causing this issue I'd be very disappointed. Having re-watched the video a few times I think it's dog bone/mount related. The caliper moves independently to the rest of the suspension and brake assembly which suggests to me that it's not mounted rigidly. I know this sounds stupid, but have you got enough thread on the retaining bolts or are they a poofteenth too long and it's not super tight? For axial movement to be occurring without deforming the caliper that can be the only answer.
