So far i just know that the R32 RB25de and R33 RB25de came with the 5 speed auto. I'm not sure if all of them did.

My HCR32 has a 5 speed auto.

It has 3 gear selections on the shifter and then 2 other gears on overdrive.

The overdrive sucks because when I'm driving Miss Daisy in the back and select OD after 80kmh, both 4th & 5th gear shift within a couple of seconds and the next thing I know I'm doing 80kmh with the engine turning at 1500rpm - needless to say it's pretty bloody gutless down there in that rev range. But when I'm on her she'll swap into 4th at 150kmh and 5th at 190kmh.

My only real bugbear is the inability to select 4th and 5th at will, which is why I'm in the middle of procuring everything for my manual conversion, no more auto for me.

I saw a five speed in a non turbo rb20de R33.... 4 door.....

I thought it was very strange as the dash in the 33 has the gear selection lights it had 1-4 then drive... a normal auto r33 had 1-3 then drive...

Yeah putting a manual box in a standard auot is a good thing...

I did it in my old GTSX.... The diff ration is taller and makes for a faster acc but lower top speed... But top speed is not important at QLD raceway nor on the strip as you will never reach red line top gear..... So yes this is a great idea....

Nissan had the 5-speed auto transmission designated RE5R01A, it's sister to the 4-speed, the RE4R01A and was used in both the Skyline series and the 1999 Q45 4.1 V8 Infinity, although there are other vehicles, I can't remember exactly which ones.

The manual coversion is going to be a wait and see as the gearbox I have coming is a Nismo close ratio, so the diff ratio may be a bit extreme for the box, should be fun for a while though!

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
