For 350Kws just get the standard auto box rebuilt as standard they are good for around 200 to 250kws. You will need to run the box with a full manual valve body as you are running a PFC and they dont control the auto box (so it wouldn't change gears properly). You will then need to get a good high stall converter if you want to drag, but bear in mind you will be driving every day so dont get too greedy.

You can pick up the standard auto box for around $300 or so and you will need a new transmission crossmember, tailshaft, transmission cooler (dont skimp on this), pedal box, dash cluster, centre console, gear changer and linkages, and I am sure I have missed somthing else here, but thats all I can think of at the moment. You are doing it the cheaper way (opposed to changing auto to manual) so the cost wont be huge, I reckon you could get all the bits and peices for under $1000 and then the cost of the auto rebuild ontop of that (I have no Idea in the cost of that) and installation.

Best of luck and I am sure that once you have this done you will see faster 1/4 mile times.

I hope that helps.

      George's R33 GTST build

      yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
