Automatic Transmission Shift Kit. - Updated Oct 2006


Recommended Posts

yep me neither .... like Guy said I would be checking your boost controller. Even better plumb the wastegate actuator into the exhaust outlet pipe and see what boost your actuator is making on its own, and see if it spikes with it set up like that.

i ordered one of those "magic black boxes" to make mine a fully manual automatic...

i have a slight issue with the gear selection order, but called mike and he has given me some things to check, so off i go with the test light! hahaha

but i honestly cant recommend these guys enough... he has been really helpful with my issues...

the silvia i bought has been a wiring nightmare, so i'm not surprised if there is a wiring issue somewhere... the guy who did the conversion should be shot!! i had wires shoved into fuses in my fuse box... :action-smiley-069:

ah well... hopefully these wiring issue will be sorted out and i'll be back on the road... :thumbsup:

even though the gears are selecting in the right way, all i have to say is HOLY SHITE!!!

when it comes on boost in 1st gear it just frys the tyres and keeps spinning through 2nd gear... i thought i'd loose this when i converted from manual to automatic (yes, you read that correctly! :lol:) but i'm glad to see its still sweet... :)

Hey, i understand that these available for the r34 tiptronic autos aswell ??...

i understand that it makes the gear changes alot quicker, but with the tiptronic, do the gear changes made via the buttons ont he steering wheel / gear stick (in tiptronic section) quicker aswell? or only good when left in D???

sorry for the Noob question but i couldnt find a mention of it

My understanding is that both the floor shifter and stearing wheel buttons will be a lot crisper.

To be 100% sure you should speak to Mike. (details on the first post)

Yes they are still available.

This is one of the advantages of dealing with a reputable long existing business.

As shown in the comments above the support and service you recieve is excellent.

Give him a call and mention this SAU group buy and he will look after you.

Initially this wasnt one of those "if we can get 20 people" type of group buys, but rather a deal I set up with MV Automatics if he could produce his kits for a discounted price.

I believe that they modify many types of auto-trans, some require valve bodies, others can be modified electronically - just call him and ask.

Hi,

so may somebody can help me to get one of this valve body upgrades for my Stagea?

I'am from Austria, does this company has an email or so?

and do the shipping to europe?

Thanks

Hi

I know that several people from overseas have purchased this kits, and were happy with theprobucts and after sales support.

I had a look for an email address but I cant find one, so it may require a phone call (08) 8370 0430 or a fax to get a price for shipping to europe. (or if u have lots of money i'll happily deliver it to you if you pay for my airfare LOL)

Higher speed torque converters of between 2800 and 3000rpm are $410 changeover

which one would be good for my R33 already has stage 2 shift kit but what converter would you suggest going with.?

Generally you'd want a torque converter to match your turbo & application (ie. city/ highway driving, drag). So, if you still have the stock turbo & street tyres the 2800rpm stall would be better suited as, the stock turbo will start to build boost at around ~3000rpm. Also, note that with most turbo engines the converter will have a flash stall higher than 2800rpm, so when launching it will be more like ~3300rpm.

:D

However, with the non-tip-tronic R32's & R33's if you maualise the auto you will loose engine braking in 4th & from 4th->3rd.

Hi there,

If you fit one of these to a R34 GTT do you still get engine braking when in the manual shift mode?

    • Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.
    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
    • I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.
