There is but only one criticism I have of your setup, and no, it's not the fact it's auto...

The radiator support, if your gearbox and motor setup was anything like mine, it means you're going to have to do the old split the gearbox and motor apart while in the car if you need to pull the motor out again... It's my only issue, I personally would have made that rail a bolt in piece...

And in saying that, it makes me want to finish mine off really badly :(

Yer I'm aware of this, I have a sneaky feeling that if its a bolt in piece it's illegal :/... Ill have to do more research lol.

Now I know why you mentioned about putting a Holden badge on your R33.....

You should put an HSV badge on it :nyaanyaa:

No hsv badge, thinking about a gts57 sticker done in gts25-t font ;).

And I'll do my best this week end for some videos mmmmkay, won't be anything exciting that will have to wait until happy laps in April.

Quick rev just to prove it runs ;) (best listened to with headphones as its really deep)

Haha no worries man, and yer i only live about 45 minutes from willowbank so the car is being built as a weekend car for a bit of fun (but obviously with drag racing in mind as its my Motorsport of choice :wub:) and also as something different to a majority of the other 33s you see around.

When I eventually get it out to the strip ill post up videos.

Don't do it, I thought the same thing 2 years ago when it was not the abomination it is today (And NIck I believe I was the first to call it an abomination) and I haven't been able to get rid of him ever since

So had the car into an ultratune (rip off merchants of the earth) to be put over a diagnostics machine to find out what is wrong with this stupid gearbox the pricks charged me 106.45 for mayb 15 minutes "work" ie plug machine into obd2 port.

Anyway, it returned the errors codes for shift solenoid a&b and torque converter lock up failure. They basically told me to fark off as the had no interest in dealing with the issue any further. So now I'm back to square one, ill be checking the transmission fuse this arvo (as it only just occurred to me that it could be blown), other than the I guess it's anyone's guess as to what's wrong and just start with trial and error :angry:

THE PROBLEM: no 1st or 4th gear even when manually trying to select them, car takes off in 3rd unless you physically lock it in 1st or second in which case it starts in 2nd gear.

(Could be a faulty shift solenoid... I duno :rant:)

If anyone has experience with a 4l60e gearbox help is appreciated

Have you not got an auto place to take it too? If its a shift solenoid its not the end of the world man....

Is it staying in limp mode (assume 3rd) due to the fault codes? Did they clear them?

Yer up in Toowoomba, everything's just an inconvenience due to the stupid p plates, will ring some auto places later this week. Hopefully a solenoid change isn't to expensive (if that's even what it is)

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/

      Blue slip

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.

      Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.

      Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.

      Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
