Automatic Transmission Shift Kit. - Updated Oct 2006


Recommended Posts

I have a 34 and I'm in.  I'll be speaking to mike today so I'll post back here.

sweet... let me know if u get any details.

but i had thought u werent gonna be part of the groupbuy and go direct to MV.

anyways, all sounds good.

Ok, just spoke to him then.

He can't find any valvebodies for R34 so we have to send our own down. About a week turnaround and I got the impression he would do his best to look after us knowing that our cars would be off the road to get it done.

So whens this look to be going ahead 4door?

Im just eager i guess :wassup:

I know its fairly straight forward, but is some installation info going to be provided by mike?

Will an upgrade to a better trans fluid cooler be necessary? If so, how much does one usually cost?

Will an improvement in acceleration be seen even on a lightly modded/stock R33?

well i hope this goes ahead soon, b/c i've already got a week scheduled for my car to be off the road anyway.

so its perfect timing if this goes ahead.

now i just need to find a reputable place in melbourne to complete the works on my auto-box.

Not necessary but a good idea, you can get new 19 row coolers for about $150 so it doesnt cost alot especially if you do it yourself.

The shift kit will most definately make the car faster, how much faster im not sure, but im estimating it will take atleast 2 10ths of a second off my 1/4 times in the cars current mod level.

So does anyone know when the group buy going ahead  

im ready to go.

Can u tell us what we're sposed to do 4door?

Do we call up MV and tell them we're part of the group buy for the RE401A upgraded valvebody + Service kit.

K I'm in. I need my car over the next 2 weekends but after that I can pull it off the road and strip. Or can we buy this and just send our old ones a week or 2 later to get our deposit back?

I've been wanting to do the manula conversion but after reading the artical I'm more interested in doing this.

OK guys, the final prices are posted. (prices posted above and below)

WinK - yes you can keep your valve body, but can we do your order in the second group so others aren't held up when Mike only has 3 valve bodies in stock.

Price $295 + $50deposit on your valve body (refunded upon the return of your old, but still servicable, valve body)

Postage Costs (5.5kg) with TnT - $22 to Melb, $28 to Syd Perth or Bris (each way)

Service Kit $33 - dont skimp, get one of these if you can (either from Mike or from whoever installs the valve body for you)

The easiest way to organise payment is to ring Mike at MV Automatics (08) 8370 0430 - (the price is already discounted so there is no benifit in transfering it to my account and then me paying him, and its better insurance for you to deal direct with the supplier) and give credit card details to him. If you dont have a credit card PM me and transfer the money to my account and I will pay him for you.

Good news for owners of R34s

these can be done (one at a time) for the same price, Mike will get a valve body soon and modify it for us but at this stage he is reluctant to get 4 or 5 of them at once, so there will be a bit of a delay, but they can also be ordered.

Phone MV automatics (08) 8370 0430 and mention that you are a part of the GROUP BUY from Skylines Australia, and that the prices are $295 + deposit and shipping.

    • Plan on the day will be to park trackside. Depending on space availability we will try put a small shade tent and a few of the cars on top of the hill inside turn 3, this is an easy to get to parking area with views of Turn 2, Turn 3, Turn 4 and Turn 5 and limited other pieces of the view around the track. IMPORTANT NOTE! One consideration from previous years is from memory the trackside parking sells out before the admission tickets, for that reason I encourage anyone planning on coming to buy tickets for parking now via the official website; https://www.worldtimeattack.com/ The type of parking you are looking for is 2 Day Park & View (Access Around Venue) Vehicle Pass Only Please note this does not include admission to the event itself, remember to grab that also, and kids under 12 get in for free!
    • This is going to be a mid week evening cruise. Come along and join us for a drive out to Palm Beach. This is a change of event plans after talking to some of the older members of the club. SAU NSW is planning on hitting Old Pac again shortly, stay tuned for details. When: Thursday 26th of June Time: 7:30pm meet/8:00pm departure/10:00pm finish Meet: Spit West Car Park / Spit Rd Mosman NSW 2088 Destination: Palm Beach Public Parking / 16 Ocean Rd Palm Beach NSW 2108 Up to date information as always can be found on the events page of our website, the link for this event is https://www.saunsw.com.au/events/palm-beach-cruise There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our track days. This is an official SAUNSW event and will be run under a Motorsport Australia permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU:NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave. Thanks guys and hope to see you there!
    • Good time for a carbon roof  
    • Not in any way aroused by any of those, except maybe the big AMGs. And that would break my never a Euro, ever, rule.
