I have put new fluid in my auto box and can report sharper shifting although it could be better. I don't think I got all the fluid out of the torque converter so I have ended up with a mix of old and new fluid.

There is a machine that flushes the old out and the new in.

I'm sure some other workshops have the machine, I know Midas do.

aslong as the gearbox is in neatral and not revved it should be fine just to pump the oil out as its under no load.

But yeh, ill be getting it done properly soon, along with some other mods if they can do it for the right price

im yet to find a automatic transmission workshop that has done alot of work on skylines etc

skyline gearboxes aren't that dissimilar from the VL so any workshop should have a fair idea of what they're doing...

my mechanic changed my auto gearbox oil / filter / gasket with no hassles...

Bastard!!!

Thats exacly what i want too!

I knew Mv Auto are good, heard about them before. I just need a place up here that can do it (Qld) Do me a favour and next time you talk to Mv auto ask them if they know any places in Qld for skyline automatics. Cheers

Yeah will probably have to look at beefing mine up after the FMIC is done ..... dont really know anyone in perth that does autos tho :cheers: :confused: Trannie cooler will be first thing

I have had my auto done by MV automatics, it chirps nicely between gear changes when you add a bit of power.

I would recommend them.

I've got a mate who got a shift kit for a V8 Soarer from MV... Nothing but positive comments from me...

Did you just do the shift kit Sleeper? Or a complete rebuild? Costs if I can ask??

The mate with the Soarer got his shift kit exchange...

IE... He paid the money, they sent the new valve body up here in a box, we fitted the new valve body on a hoist, he sent the old valve body back...

I'll probably do the same thing when the time comes...

Cost was around $450 IIRC... Plus tranny oil...

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
