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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah yes but were you responsible? In the time I've had it (just before Christmas) I spun off the track twice and drove into things twice, so four separate incidents.. in two outings. Luckily I have a full OEM GTR front end to put on which is hopefully not a precursor for further, future, more expensive mistakes to come. It is some consolation that anyone who would want to buy my Altia bar would have to paint it anyway, the guards, too. (if they can get over the asymmetry). Hopefully over the weekend I will disassemble and see how badly things are bent. From what it looks like, the headlight has actually just been pushed back and bent the headlight support (which .. somehow... crushed the guard in). I guess the headlight plastic is strong stuff.

      These things happen And I believe "we, the people, who modify stuff, and actually use it, cannot have nice things" It's just a shame that it happened so soon after paint  I still win the award for quickly destroying newly painted panels I think, as my car came back from the paint shop all nice and shiny, until about 4 hours later when the boot was destroyed by a wayward locker that was blown around by the wind.... What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and poorer.....dooh

      R33 disk brake size

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This. And also, the rotor thickness is constrained by the calipers. Cannot be much thicker, if at all. Cannot be much thinner, if at all. New rotors are....fairly cheap. Turbo calipers can still be picked up for sensible money. Arguably, the best thing is to get R32 calipers and put them on mount spacers on 324mm discs. That's about the cheapest and easiest way to get quite large brakes that are essentially bolt on. And that's despite maintaining for years that the R32 calipers are not the best choice because they seem to be more flexy and creaky than the others. If you were prepared to put up with nasty little NA sliding calipers, these will still seem like Brembos by comparison.

      Why would you not fit the biggest possible brakes?
