The current issue of Zoom mag has the beginning stages of putting an RB26 into a 4 door R33 backed by a modified factory AUTO.

The workshop that modded the auto, M V automatics, claimed it will handle the power fine and also not be un street friendly with over the top harsh shifting.

And it wasnt an expensive excercise either, under $500 is what it cost to beef the auto.

they actually claimed the R33GTS auto gearbox to be internally the same as most other nissan auto's including the GTSt box

is this true?

my R32 auto box may survive longer than i thought :P

btw... great idea of an auto RB26!

Waz.

ah cameron you will learn very fast not to throw stones when you buy a car and are the legal age to get a licence and a job. Ah i could go on for ever the point remains dont belive every thing your big brothers tell you and mabyyou need to go the cairns (drag way) and have a look at the quallity of cars you to will agree when you see it

I reckons it's a great idea I was looking at doing it with my car...tiptronic GTR power was looking an attractive option....unfortunately the cost of it wasn't looking as good :P

For me the RB30 is going to give an acceptable result for a bit less outlay.

Their ain't no drag stip in cairns. Are you refering to the speed way ? Since when can you run 8 sec 1/4 mile pass around a doughnut shaped track !

If their is a drag strip in cairns I'd love to know were it is :)

What cars are you refering to that will not bring you any challenge ? V8's ? Imports ?

Their are some very quick V8's around and some Skylines/Silvias aswel.

I have nothing against you'r idea it is a great one, Just its a lot of time & money you'll have to spend doing it. But im sure their are other little things involved that you havn't realised yet.

You'r decision.

:P

mmm a lot of the big cars mentioned like the couple Cameron mentioned are air shifted manuals isn't that sort of auto??

Nah, they don't have a torque converter, that seems to be the test most applied to determin what is an auto and what isn't.:P

Is this a purely a drag car or is it to be driven on the road? Daily? What is your target bhp? Because there are quite a few issues that make daily driving quite different than a blast down the 1/4 once a month.

Sydney Kid, It will be a 1/4 mile car, what would be the best mod to do to the standard gear box apart from torque converter?

Dear Cameron. as i have said before to you,there is no challenge in cairns..eg: no drag strip! There is not one and there is never going to be one...that is what i was trying to tell you if you just read in between the lines. I do know of one private drag strip that i have been testing at but you will never have access as it is private property owned by my-self and a few other ajoining properties. It was a gov project that went bust and i bought the land on the cheap as it has a very smooth and long road right through it(2.5 lanes wide and 2km long). So now you know why i never come to "Maccas" to show my cars off as i have a better place where i do not just park and sit. Dont bother trying to find out where it is as it will never be disclosed. So now you know all that you need to know. Hope this is the end of your PMs.

Actually maccas is to socialise, ovbiously you don't want to be apart of that.

What times have you been pulling off ? Do you have the propper timer to get your TS, 60ft, ET etc.

Why do you have to be the opposite and not socialise and not come on cruises ?

Have fun,

:wavey:

Valve body change, solenoid upgrade and a big transmission cooler would be on my list. The torque converters seem OK, the stall at 1,800 rpm with standard power and get up around 2,750 rpm with the usual mods for 225 rwkw. They launch very well at the power/stall combo as the tubo is producing some boost.

Hope that helps:cheers:

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
