Hmm doubt its CAS or AFM. Because its not throwing a primary ign code.

I wonder why its only sluggish when it starts cold but if i start it hot its heaps better.

Thinking about giving it an AT service and replace that solenoid because i know thats the reason why sometimes AT light comes on and gets stuck in 3rd (common problem after they reach 140,000)

But sluggish wise i dont think its the AT

Get a set of shift solenoids, replacement INTERNAL loom (as most of the retaining clips will most likely break as soon as you try to undo them) for the tranny, fresh oil & a pickup kit.

Check to see if you can drain the converter (if they have drain bolts - most modern ones dont!?!) without removing it, if so, drain & get enough fluid for the refill. Do you know how to fill a converter?

Cold fluid with a malfunctioning shift solenoid will cause the engine to over work, hence the knock sensor code, ecu has reached max retard......

Thanks for your help, yeah i can fill a converter, you make perfect sense in what your saying also in cold fluid making it run bad and causing knock sensor, always thought it was something to do with the AT.

Will drop the pan and replace solenoids see how it goes, where can i get the kit from? I know they come in a set of 3 i believe.

Cheers for your input

    • A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.
    • Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.
    • Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.
    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?
