Need a little help in the states with an r32!!


Recommended Posts

Hey guys so I need a bit of help.

i read a thread on here about a shop called MV Autos over there in Australia that does a pretty awesome modification to the automatic trans in the r32's. 

Seemingly, it requires the car to be shifted manually and there is a shifter kit to go along with this?

any info would be great!! Please and thank you!

i reached out to MV auto but no response. Are they the only shop that does this?

I have a specific reason for wanting this vs a manual gearbox  

she arrives stateside this Friday and I'm dying to get going right away with the modifications.

I know nothing about MV Auto, but if you contacted them this week I would say they just want to get to wrap up the year and get off to Christmas. Give them a go in the new year, and if you can, call rather than e-mail/internet

Tranny needs to spend time in their workshop in order to benefit.  It's not just "remove original valve body" and "plug in magic valve body".

I figured as much. I'm honestly trying to find out if they can build one and send it out. Or, being I work in a shop in the states, send the parts and we can manage to do the modifications. 

 

Whats entailed if you know?

The usual stuff done to toughen an auto gearbag.  Better clutches and such, changes to the valvebody.

You could probably ask them to source you one from a local wrecker and doctor it then send to you.  It's gunna cost you some extra coins for their effort, but probably worth it to not have to try to source one yourself by remote.  Don't just e-mail them either.  Call them in the new year, (say after the 8th) in their morning - which would likely be early evening for you if you're on the east coast, or late afternoon if you're further west.  Indicate that you sent them an e-mail on the subject and that you're fairly serious.  You'll get ignored less than the usual "random e-mail from dream on other side of world" treatment I'm sure they've learned.

    • Squealing is aids. Street cars, weekend track cars are not allowed to squeal.
    • The front speakers in an R32 are 6x4s which is a shit size. You can fit 6.5" woofers or coaxials in there but you need to make a mounting board from MDF. I have a post on here somewhere showing what I made. You can fit 6.5" in the parcel shelf easily enough. If upgrading the head unit, the stock speaker wiring is not really fat enough to run big speakers (ie the wires into the doors or up to the rear) because the amplifiers are located next to the speakers. Running new speaker wires front and rear is a good idea anyway.
    • Been ages since I did anything on the s15 but got some time and motivation over the weekend. Brakes are now fitted with fresh seals, hardware and pads. Bolted up with the alpha omega brackets, just waiting on 2 fittings and sensors to Bleed them. With that done moved onto the fuel system. The injectors have been cleaned ,flow tested, new filters and orings.  Made a bracket to hold the surge tank with surge tank and pumps mounted then plumbed. Roll-over valve done too. Need to make a new loom and add individual relays for it all. Had new flange welded on inlet manifold for a bosch 74mm DBW throttle body.  Coolant bypass hose done with some fittings welded on now then soda blasted. Waiting on sensors to arrive to install and pwr for radiator and intercooler still. Getting to point of buying an ECU and looking like may be going something else as link doesn't have enough inputs.   Work has been awesome with first trip to Perth and now on the way to Darwin looking for a good result there.
    • It always makes me laugh when I hear things like this, when I was a young bloke I bought a old Mk1 Escort, one of my mates said "how do you expect to have a girlfriend in a old car like this", my reply was "if she doesn't like the car she can walk, and if she is more interested in the car I drive than me she can fark off" This is how you can tell if you have a good woman, they care not about things like the cars you drive or what it sounds like Pandering to crazy obsessed women who care more about how they look in a car than the person driving it is something that I've always kept away from Not saying my Mrs isn't crazy at times, but it's typically me being a idiot that incites the crazy 🤪
    • But where's the fun in that, for me it isn't about the money, I have money, and I have time, I enjoy the process of things, the picking parts, the "adventure" of it all, and for the bits I can do myself, the actual work is enjoyable, well, varying levels on enjoyment on hard to reach things like that farking thermostat I just changed
