Automatic Transmission Shift Kit. - Updated Oct 2006


Recommended Posts

Are these prices going to be a continual thing or just for this group buy? I'm installing a R34 RB25 and auto box into my HR31 Skyline and would be interested in getting the box beefed up slightly but it wont be ready for about a month or so.

Cheers,

Allen

I think you will be OK for the next few weeks (so long as others are taking up the group buy - cos I can see it taking a week or so turn around for each block of 4 Mike can make)

So who has rung up for this already.

I have! Sent the fax and all first thing monday

Also getting a transmission oil cooler kit

Will call them again soon just to make sure all the paperwork is done ok

after all this... Im actually still a bit blur to how a new valvebody actually improves the gearbox's durability and shift quality... :confused:

Valve body - controlls the pressure and timming for gear changes. The higher the pressure the faster the gear change.

Durability - Slower shifts mean that the bands (clutch packs) slide together much slower, thus more wear and heat, but very smooth. Fast shifts are a little less smooth but produce less wear on the bands and less heat.

Ill be calling up and ordering mine later this week, ive just moved out so thing have been pretty hectic lately

im still in though, and those to install make sure you post up a report for everyone

Excuse my ignorance but where does the valve body fit on the auto gearbox. Is it a gearbox out job?, if im correct i have taken off a couple oil pans on various transmissions and when you remove the pan, the valve body is right there? hence its a pretty easy do it your self job?

Also can someone calling mv ask what modifications he recomends to handle 280-300rwkw range? Will a tranny cooler and valve body be enough or is there a lot more to do.

So the trans cooler kit is $187?

do you know what size the cooler is?

I havent ordered mine yet, will do so next week, ended up getting food poisoning from fasta pasta on valentines day :cheers:

I think it was 29x22x2 or something like that. I think there is a difference between the oil and transmision fluid coolers but don't quote me on that.

$187 is a OK price for the whole kit.

LOL at getting food poissoning for Valentines. :D What a way to finish off the day.

lol tell me about it

mod your car have some decent priced coolers aswell, http://www.modyourcar.com.au/?cPath=5_272

was thinking of upgrading and putting the trans cooler in a better spot considering i wacked a big ass intercooler infront of it last year :Oops:

I just checked and its 280x220x15.

I saw those coolers on ModYourCar and I'm not sure if they are the same thing coz those are 50 mm thick.

I think the one they're selling is something like the one in the pic.

I'm not sure how good are they.

i got a B&M cooler kit from autobarn for about $140 comes with all brackets hoses clamps etc and looks alot stronger than the others like yours pictured so wont bend fins etc

model was 70264

The PIC was juust an example what I think the cooler will look not the actual thing. I'll speak to Mike and check what kind of cooler it is.

I don't know much about these so I'm not sure what to look out for. All I know so far is the dimensions and that the whole kit is included.

How big is the standard cooler? I got an R32 and it doesn't have a cooler at all, it only goes thru the radiator.

My credit card has been charged on Friday so I hope I'll receive it soon.

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
