Im just looking for some advice on upgrading auto trans. I'm driving a stock R33 SII (apart from the nifty nismo front ) I really dont know much about available options for automatics. What I would really like to fit would be a automatic trans with a sequential shift like the ones out on the new fords. I could always convert the car to manual but I feel that would be too much of a job.

yeah, don't belive anyone that says that auto's are shit, because they aren't.

DO what RNS11Z says, and then bomb your motor, and you'll have a nice little car that will change quick, and be good in straight line drags

Actually i believe its the other way round kamikazee. Your going to need a shift kit for the Auto. If you want 200+rwkw get it rebuilt with stronger internals, a new stall converter and bigger trans cooler

Do u know any where in brissy that does auto gtst gearbox mods?

actually the R34 tiptronic is the kind of thing im looking for. I dont want to buy a 34 because... err.. i just bought this 33 but yeah is it possible to get something like the R34 trans installed in a R33?? Otherwise im not complaining about autos at all. If I wanted a manual right up i would have bought one. (I do long drives as well as driving through the CBD and clutches frustrate me in traffic) It would be nice to have just a little more control over the gears when needed. I'm looking into shifts kits, is JATCO the thing to look for??

i cant find contact information for JATCO in japan but they have on their website a 5-SPEED Auto Transmission for Skylines. Unfortunately thats about all the info they give out. theres no links to a technical specs and not even an email address to ask them. who here knows about these transmissions and can they go in a R33 GTS?

your local auto workshop should be able to do some mods to the auto box aka stage 2 shift kit, which i believe helps in quicker changing of the auto box. as others have said, upgrade ecu, cooler, boost controller, air filter and you'll find the auto should be still fine

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road.

      That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...

      Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.

      Well, I had an Edward Lee's special edition odo windback car/motor with a RB25DET S2 and I put down 372kW with a good amount of track abuse for 1.5 years before the ring lands decided it didn't want to stick around anymore 🥲 But probably didn't help I kept on smashing try limiter on the track and a few skid pans.
