Hey guys,

Hopefully someone is able to assist me or point me in the right direction, as to where the ATF Temp Sensor is on a R33 GTST?

There is a possibility that mine is rooted, and trying to locate one to purchase, and also will require to know where it is located on the box. 

Information seems a bit difficult to find. Or i am using the incorrect words to search.

So from some information that i have located, leads me to believe that the temp sensor is located on the valvebody.

So immediately i thought f**k yeah, if mine is f**ked as that will be fun to change. 

The reason for my query, is that my gearbox is registering a fault somewhere, where it goes into 'limp mode' and wont shift into D4, when driving with overdrive switch ON.

The simple turn the car off and back on though resets it and i am fine after that.  But as you can imagine, its quite dangerous, especially if you are on the highway and nowhere to pull overly safely.  Fun times.

So with my current issue the troubleshooting manual i have found indicates the probable causes in order as follows below:

1.       Throttle Sensor

2.       Inhibitor switch

3.       Revolution sensor and speed senor

4.       Shift Solenoid A

5.       Overrun clutch solenoid

6.       Control valve assembly

7.       Fluid temperature Sensor

8.       Line pressure

 

I am glad the the most probable things are the easiest to change, and hopefully it will be sorted before i get to number 4.

 

yeah reading up on it earlier i had located some info that mentions this.

 

Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensor and solenoid valve are together as one unit, and are installed to the solenoid body.

Hopefully its not this, but something that i will be able to complete myself.  i have only had the pan off the transmission off like 3 times already within the last month.  Whats another time.  

 

So bit more of an update.  I had a spare THrottle position Sensor, and a previous shit attempt at re-wiring a new plug onto it ( previous plug was f**ked)  Noticed that i had only twisted the wires together, and wasnt the best connection.

So i had re-wired the throttle switch plug wires - ( the one that has A/T control) soldered and heat shrinked. 

TPS set at .48v  - may require to adjust idle slightly as its now idling at 1000rpm, but car seems to be running okay so far.

Will give it time though as the issue with it not going into 4th was intermittment.  

Thanks  for the responses.  But yeah if all fails.  will be looking for manual conversion kit.

Looks like the tps and soldering wires as opposed to twisting them has done the trick..

All those posts that I had seen where people having auto issues, not locking, or not going into d4 with overdrive on..

Check out your tps first..

And read the gearbox link I had included.. will rule out a hefty bill replacing shit where it may not be the cause at all..

    • That idea has crossed my mind, I do a 5km walk everyday, this does take me past some bushland......I think you may be onto something 😉  That, plus 1 rock on every bin night might do the trick, it may take a year, but it could save me a couple of grand The only issue is the big 'Boonies", I have a few that weigh around 30-40kg, maybe they should be the first to go into the raised garden bed,  and then let the next owner deal with them....my daughter gets the joint when I kick the bucket, mums the word mate......LOL Noice......
    • Wow. Did you call the car a Nissan Skyline?
    • You're retired Mark, on bin night, go for a walk, kind of like you're doing the beep test. Put one rock in the first neighbours, come back, get another rock, go to the second neighbours, repeat over many weeks. All rocks eventually gone...
    • No chop chop of anything mate, it is what it is, plus, I don't want any air that isn't either going through the cooling stack or intake getting into the engine compartment increasing under bonnet pressure  Yeah, the Mazda Speed aftermarket intake above is less than ideal for multiple reasons, the requirement to remove the bumper every time you need to service the filter, and also smaller in diameter than the NC1 OEM one Weirdly, Mazda Speed is part of the Mazda motorsport division, "form over function" and $$$$$ for Mazda from unsuspecting punters I suspect  After some googling about them it seems they added no power, but do increase some induction noise Meh In other news, the electricians have been busy today at the house, and are back tomorrow finishing up all the security stuff and exterior lighting, they also added some lighting on the garage ceiling, which will come in handy when working in the garage when it's not freezing out there My Birdies raised garden bed also arrived today as well, which I'll put together and place tomorrow, it's a big tall Bessie, 74cm high, 92cm wide and 214cm long, this will come in handy as I am starting to get "stockpiles" of good soils from doing landscaping, some of the clean rock, namely the river stone, will go into the bottom of the bed for drainage, as well as the old Apricot tree that was out the back,  and when it's full, I'll grab another one, I will be growing enough veggies to keep me both busy as well as supplementing the shopping list I'm also awaiting another quote for a new Colourbond front fence, as the "1980 style cemented in rock edging" that was there and "fashionable at the time" looked arse, and my god, the amount of cement used to fix the rock was insane, it took 1.5 days for me to break out 12 meters of the stuff by hand, trim the bushes back to the fence line and dump it out the back of the joint to deal with at a later date,I will soon need a skip bin to tip it all Unfortunately they did alot of the cemented in rock around the joint, which I hate, so a few pallets of retaining wall blocks for around the front and back where the cemented in rock is will be required to bring it up to a standard, and look, that I will be happy with 12 meters worth of rock and cement Finished smashing the fence line and ready for a fence to be installed, yes, the lawns need some TLC and thickness, the previous owner trimmed the grass to the roots 😢, the TLC I can provide, and nature over time will do the rest And there's probably about another 40 meters worth of this landscaping abomination left to do around the front and back gardens, I'm guessing maybe 3 or 4 tons worth, tip fees for this will be a killer Meh, all in all I'm having fun and keeping busy, plus, it's good PT
