So a few little things have happened to the car since I last posted. Firstly the old vinyl bonnet finally kicked the bucket so with the help of my little cousin we blew a coat of two pack over a new

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

Torque converter has a solenoid aswell in the valvebody, you can get an upgraded valve to improve the lockup but it involves a rather expensive reamer.

If you do it, split the filter and check for material in there when you pull it off.

Have you got an oil cooler in there for the trans?

May get to have a look at it on the weekend, but being Easter I doubt it :(

I do have quite a large transcooler mounted in the lower right air duct of the front bar, it's not fan forced but its location would provide a hell of alot of airflow at speed (ill get some pics up of it later)

Dude u can see the sucker lol, I'm positive it's getting air....

You need ducting. Would really help. Cooling doesn't matter so much about whether air can get to the cooler as it does about whether the air actually goes through the cooler, ie. the path of least resistance. You've got low pressure zones all around your cooler with it mounted like that, so a lot of the air will simply get sucked around the cooler rather than through it. Given you will get some cooling benefit, but if you make up some ducting to guide ALL the air through the cooler then you will see much better results.

Tried mounting the cooler horizontal so length ways instead of up and down to make use of that entire gap in the vent? Also just curious how much the vynil wrap was as im thinking of camoing my track car :P Great build love the sound of a V8, needs a chev badge to ;)

The vinyl was installed by Steve the owner of Wrapture stylings here in Brisbane, I dropped the car off and picked it up about 5 days later, total cost installed was around 2g which I realise is quite expensive but for what it is it looks good :)

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Here's the link: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6642/misc/G49?frame_no=WGNC34-137122 What you think about it? The same product i found on nengun: https://www.nengun.com/oem/parts/40567/MiPwn5qAMfCfmpxHNDnwn5q9MDAx8J-QiW9sZC1qcC0xMTAtRzQ5LS0wMDE/Floor+Carpet+%2F+Mat+2/0688339eba149c19 Bot i have spoken to 😅 ensured me, that mats are 100% original, oem product. I have my doubts. I also heard what you mentioned, that nengun often offers items that are actual not available... On the other hand mats i found on japanese yahoo or ebay are in poor condition and still quite expensive so i'd rather wait for some better offers. My location - Poland. We literaly don't have ANY market for used Stagea parts so need to search outside Europe.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      By sinn3r · Posted

      You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
