hehe not me i think your talking about '4door sleeper'

what im going to do is call MV auto in adelaide, get them to send me out the necessary shift kit etc and then see if they can recommend somewhere local to install it for me.

from what i know they dont need to remove the autobox to install a shift kit, so all up including the shift kit it shouldnt cost more than about $450 (more if u want full synthetic fluid which ill be doing)

Ah sorry knore, me bad.

It seams there are a few ppl interested in this, it might be worth to try and organise a group buy?

I didn't know there was no need to get the box out to install the shift kit. What else would need to be done to freshen up the gearbox?

Ahh shit I forgot to send it... The plan was to wait till I got home rather than use the work email... I'll email myself a reminder and let you know either way...

FWIW I'd be keen on a group buy... I've been putting this off for ages...

Nedb: To install the shift kit, you only need to drop the pan... It's fairly fiddly if you only have wheel ramps - 100 times easier if you can get the car up on a hoist... Would probably be worth changing the filter while your in there... If you wanted to freshen the box up further, it would need to come out and be dissassembled. From there you could replace any clutch bands and check the rest of it out...

I've been in touch with Keas and I've asked about R33's as well. I'll keep this thread informed if you all like.

So far I can tell you that:

They are working on a shift kit at the moment.

It will be ready in about a month.

I think he said that R33 and R34 boxes are the same mechanically but I'm waiting on confirmation of that. It's a JATCO RE4R01A "and is OEM on any Mazda and Nissan RWD. A variant is also in Subaru's. It replaced the earlier model 3N71B and 4N71B JATCO in 1988 and ran until 2003."

I'm just confirming that he meant to write 1988 and not 1998 because my query was initially R34 related and 1998 is when R34's came out.

Cheers for the info Abo Bob... You seem to be one step ahead of us here so by all means, please keep us informed...

I can confirm that RE4R01A was made before 1998 as my 1993 R33 has a RE4R01A... It's listed on the build plate...

And yep they were in 300zx's, Pathfinders, 929's and a few others from memory...

Did they give you any indication on pricing?

Thinking out loud here...

I was abit sceptical that the RE4R01A came in the R32, as the hold / power / od features are different to the R33... But then I thought, if the same trans is in the R34's, which have the tiptronic control, then it's probably just the auto ECU's that are different...

Can someone with an auto 32 have a look under their bonnet at the blue build plate and confirm the model of auto for us please?

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
