Automatic Valve Body/Shift Kit - Help Please

[Skull]

The guys are right about Wholesale auto's. Was looking into Bullet supercharged 6.5 Chevy V8 before I decided to upgrade instead. They use RE4R03A behind them. They are taking 860 odd NM. Thats bloody tough. They use exchange from W/Auto's at $6500 (probably got bullet profit in there). Has upgrade Nomad Valvebody, Massive low stall torque converter, extra clutch's in third I beleive and bigger bands. Call W/Autos or get onto their site. Manuals could not take that power with their week fifth gear thats for sure.

I have that stage 1 re calibrated valve body from Wholesale A.T in my auto box mate..its marvelous..!!! Almost non slippage..no flaring and good engine braking. Gear change if very FIRM. A bit too firm on light throttle but okay on half and full throttle. On temperature wise, my maximum atf outlet temperature (before the cooler) was 140c full throttle on a long big hill run (fully loaded but not towing). And that is with aux cooler in series with the factory cooler. I'm quite satisfied with the atf temperature as my coolant temperature was 115c when the atf was at 140c. I supposed my atf temperature should be lower than that if I can get the coolant temp below 95c. Plus..I cant find fully synthetic Castrol atf here just yet and currently am using Castrol semi. I've read and heard fully synthetic make huge difference too.

Anyway, would definitely recommend that re calibrated valve body from Wholesale A.T mate, they're

Outstanding - thanks lads.

Ade - do you know what the difference is with the stage 1 and stage 2's??

Thanks again mate - appreciate the info.

I'm not so sure what's the difference mate, but I suppose stage 2 is a later version with some finer tuning to it. Rodney from W.A.T spoke to me about that on phone but I couldn't really catch his Aussie's accent Rang him up mate..good bloke he is.

Thanks mate - just spoke with Rodney and yep, stage 2 is the upgraded Nomad series. Got all the information and will sort it in the coming weeks.

Probably get the temp kit and torque converter lockup kit also. He didn't recommend changing the resistor by the way - reckons it causes more problems (long term) than benefits.

Many thanks for the info everyone!!!

This begs the question - what transmission do I have?? lol

Considering yours is identical 2 mine, ( except mine has none of TANKS fancy mods ) you will have the RE4R03A, but I would check the tag anyway just 2 be sure

Thanks fella - nothing "fancy" about those mods old mate ... they're installed to do the hard stuff!!!! lol

Looks like I'm going one of their Nomad valve bodies - I'll obviously update pre and post install in the build thread as to the outcome/ease of installation etc.

Then there's really nothing left to do on Tank ...

Except the winch ..

And the petrol tank ...

And the new injectors (660cc) ...

And the new ECU (Wolf) ...

And then the dyno ...

Not to mention the new rear windows and rubbers ...

And the windshield rubber ...

Oh, and the air conditioning fixed up ...

And the ...

Ahhhh, you get my point!!!! lmao

Well I'm 1 up on TANK then, mine done all the hard stuff without all those fancy mods.......

I just looked up Nissan Fast for you and even that says to confirm the transmission by looking at the ID tag *L*

Thanks mate ... and you just hold into those dreams!!! lmao

As Patch said, I've got to check the box itself to be sure as it was a rebuilt/reconditioned unit about 12 months before I got it ... so hopefully the same model variant ...
