slide it over into manual mode, turn off traction control, foot on break, rev up to 1500-2500 rpms, release break, floor ... takes practice to get a good launch without wheelspin.. i wouldnt do this personally however as it puts too much stress on the drivetrain but thaz generally how i launch n auto, when its not mine :)

lol, sometimes ive still noticed the traction control kicking in even when its disabled, dosent happen much but yeh still kinda annoying.

As far as launching goes, yeh not the best idea....but in my sisters WV R32 the one with the DSG, they actually have this method printed in the manual!, its kinda encouraged by the way they typed it up.

Mate, I think ur clutch is slipping :sick:. When the VDC is disabled, I see no reason for it to kick in randomly...

^+1,hahah, good one!.....'clutch is slipping' but its an auto?...its not all the time just rarely, but its noticeable.

....what i dont like is why the V35 price has dropped so low, i mean you can pick up an 03 auto for around 22!!, this suxs!...its such a beautifully made car it should be starting around late 20's.

But i guess it come down to market demand i mean the supply is there, the demand isnt...sigh the jap car import market just isnt what it used to be., and also awareness. not many people know what kinda car this is.

Yap, that's true..

mines a 70th Anniversary 2004 Auto - got for 25,500 in Jan

comming from a R33 GTST, i know what your thinking and Yes... V35 will probably be next R33....

not that it's bad thing or anything........ Too many IT guys owning R33, so i though its time to change

Sure there will be V35s getting round in the low 20's but most if not all of them are going to be the base model autos, so no leather, no bose, no tv screen "even though it dosent work here it still looks cool" and no dual climate etc not sure about the air bags and ESP

im glad mine came over with most of the options checked including the wood grain lol, but i still thank the previous owner for the full nismo zhust system, nismo 280km dash, and a decent set of 19" rims :yes:

Back on topic...

Install a line locker to the rear brake hydraulics... hit the switch to disconnect...

first gear in manual mode

left foot hard on brake pedal

right foot on accelerator and dial up 2,500 - 3,000 rpm

as the christmas tree lights up

remove left foot and gradually apply more accelerator pedal.

:D

or buy a manual and side step the clutch at 5,000 rpm!

:w00t::w00t:

No responsibility taken on above advice, but it will work a few times!

As for prices falling, I would hate to see them become the new R33... but I think they might.

Hope I can get mine before I am known as "one of those Skyline owners"

:):D :D

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
