Hi all,

I will be taking ownership of an auto GT-T next week and the first thing I want to get done (after a full service and new fluids) is to get the gearbox overhauled. I'm looking for recommendations for good workshops in Brisbane/Gold Coast that can install a shift kit and give the box a thorough going over. I want to bring the final power up to around 220-250wkw and want to make sure that I have all my ducks in a row in regards to the drive train before I go chasing more power as the last thing I was is to blow up my gear box because it wasn't able to handle the power.

I'd love to get it done by the guys at MV Auto's in Adelaide but I'm not sure a trip there and back is really feasible so if anyone knows a good workshop in SE Qld that can do similar quality work that would be great.

Meh, remove transmission, courier down to MV (~$90), pay them, courier back, profit.

That certainly is an option I have considered, if I needed a complete overhaul then I would be very tempted.

apparently mv is the way to go, gets talked up a lot on here. have also heard of knox autos but not as much info on there work.

Well they do get mentioned quite a bit, I hope it isn't a case of forum viral marketing.

After I found this thread I did a little more searching on google and came up a company in Melbourne that also distribute shift kits, and they have a partner company in brisveagas...

Also found in the same search was another Brisbane automatic transmission workshop that seem to be performance oriented, don't know if they have experience with Skylines though...

When I'm closer to getting the Shift Kit I'll phone up MV and that other Melbourne mob and see if they are the same item, I'll also ring the local agent and get a quote for supply and installation, but right now I would probably get MV to send me the kit and I'll have a crack at the install.

Already found the tutorial...

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
