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...

latest zoom mag rd26 and auto in 33 4 door mv automatics in sa are doing the box rang them today and shift kit with 2500 rpm convertor $800 said the only problem is maybe a worn band $90 all this plus fitting tyhink ill be beefing my auto

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...

    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
    • Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
    • Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
