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

    • I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...
    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
