Hi Guys, currently trying to get my r33 gts-t on road and the top button for the automatic shift knob is broken (so won't pass RWC). As we all know that the stock r33 auto gear knob is the ugliest thing ever :D , I want to change it to something small and better looking. The 300zx z32 auto gear knob is still too big. I have seen a pen type with a button on top and also one with a auto gear boot (makes it look like a manual). Not fussed about the o/d, can put a switch somewhere.

If anyone has modified their, could they please post some pictures, how they installed and where they purchased the items from.

Tried looking in forums, but found nothing useful as all replies suggested to change to manual, which I don't want to do. If I want to shift gears, I'll drive my GT-R.

Any suggestions welcome. :rant:

I had an auto R33 a few years ago I modified a S2 stagea knob to fit and retained the o/d switch. I then fitted a manual boot and surround, it came up very nice.

I ended up pulling it out though as i fitted a full manualised auto and sequential B&M shifter in the car.

Thanks for sharing :) . We got the same h/unit, lol. You wouldn't happen to still have your stagea shift knob with you? As mine has a broken button and getting difficult to shift.

Also, how much does the B&M set you back? Is it easy to install?

Thanks :)

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?

My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
