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

  • 4 weeks later...

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...

    • GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?    
    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
    • Should have asked what is the car?
    • I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
