um, gotta find the list of whats been done.

but basically stage 2 valve body. upgraded clutch packs, band's, rings. welded some part to make it shift faster with no clutch riding. solenoids were upgraded. few other bits and pieces.

driving is fine, may hold gear for like 150rpm more when you just cruise it, but you dont really notice. when cold takes a little bit longer to get into 4th, i just drive to 60kmph in 3rd then speed up to around 70 and it drops into 4th then back off back to 60. but once warm there is no drama's with 4th gear. and it takes about 5mins to warm up after driving.

in sports mode it is realy fast, when you launch is 1st and slap it into second, you feel the wheels trying to chitp and the awd thing taking over for that split second.

in D its so smooth. wouldn't even know anything has been done, no roughness at all, not as harsh as some shift kits i've heard about.

looking at a Stall Converter later on also. see how that goes with the box.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
