Just started looking at a r34 auto to get built from mz autos. Should hold the power abut better than the vl box in there now.

Re tune booked in from status for this Friday. Should be interesting when done.

4N71B trans went bang ? Try to get a nissan Y31/32/33 trans if you can, the Re series of autos out of these cars are near on bullet proof (when kitted out)and mv trans in s.a have done a few

Bell housing from rb bolts onto vg easily

Good that you are keeping an older nissan alive

There doesnt seem to be much appreciation for these classics

Thanks I got a trans from a r34 going to mv today for a full build. Should hold upto the abuse well I think. At least I can get a better converter this time. Lol

Had a slight issue with the new trans. The pump bush seized onto the converter snout in 5 mins of driving. Box out and thanks to mv autos it's fixed and due back to me this week for install and fun over the weekend

Thanks to mv autos box is back in and works well. Loves to skid now. I have found boost control issues now. Boost climbs well over 25psi with wheel spin but steady with none. I guess it's time to go external gate now

How's the auto holding up. How much better is it then the auto you had.

What gears have you got in the diff. Does it driver better then before (cruising / power runs)

I like this box a lot more than the other one. It shifts a lot faster. Second to third is instant before had a delay.

I have 3.7 diff gears. I would like 4.11's but they are very hard to find.

The box is very smooth when shifting on the converter and very hard when under power. The lockup clutch keeps the temps down on the highway too

Best money spent on the car so far

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
