+2735463454596 on the transgo kit :)

also, youll need calipers to get the circlips out, and a drift to remove the spider gear from the end of the shaft, then you can push the old boot off, new one on and regrease and assemble

Just finished pulling out the drivers front drive shaft so I can drop it off tomorrow and get a new inner boot fitted. Also pulled out both front upper arms to get the stock bushes pushed out so I can finally fit the offset bushes to them. Now Im about to start fitting the trans cooler, I like productive days!

How much did the Shift Kits Cost??

Where did you get it??

PM Jetwreck aka Craig. He does great prices On them. If your in Adelaide I can fit it for $250 plus oil.

Cheers i will check with the Minister for Finance (missus) and PM jetwreck for a price

what difference does it make to the feel of the car??

It will firm up the shifts between gears, and make the shift marginally quicker. As our cars back out timing during gearshifts anyway the shift is never too clunky as with older cars.

Get on to Craig and order the kit, it will prolong the life of your trans. See if you can get a trans cooler on at the same time, preferably with a thermostat inline.

g'day guys,

had the stag in at ferntree gully nissan the other day for a service found 2 fault codes [p0744,p0754] both gearbox related so i took the car to rvo automatics.well i just got the car back today after having a rvo shift kit fitted,let me just say WOW the car feels awsome anybody thinking of this just do it. troy

removed all the un used stereo wirring that ran to the back of the car which was left in there from japan!

also pulled out my fuel pump to check if it has been upgraded from the standard R33 GTR item, Unfortunately it hasn't been.

need to sell it to upgrade to 040 or nismo

"It will firm up the shifts between gears"....this when under full load..........under light everyday driving you will find you don't feel most of the gear changes at all!

@Tronzstagea: Is it RVO's kit or the Transgo kit that they use? Do you know exactly what they have done to the VB? e.g. Different Spings, different shafts or have they just upped the line pressure?

not to sure craig on the receipt it says rvo rebuilt valve body,new filter,new pan gasket,5ltrs trans oil all i know it shifts very smooth light throttle and very fast and smooth lead foot.

New filter?:ph34r: They just have a fine mesh screen...

Good that you're happy with it though, and it obviously solved your CEL issues.

Speaking of which, do you think its worth adding a fine inline filter for the trans cooler?

    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
    • The stock manifold is "mostly" divided. The divider actually has a notch cut out of it where it would meet the divider on a twin scroll housing. I have no idea why. But whatever the reason, it would cause some cross talk when used with a twin scroll housing. People do put twin scroll housings onto that manifold. But I'm of the opinion that proper twin scroll internal gating is...not really possible at this scale. You'd be throwing good effort (ie $$) after bad, when you really should be doing something else. Notwithstanding that.... I am not sure what the idea that you are floating has to do with the difference in comp cover position caused by the highflow using a shorter length core than the stock Hitachi one. Can you clarify what you meant?
