1JZ.747 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 hi boys and girls i am just wondering what big hp skylines are using when it comes to automatic gearboxes. i have got to the point where my strengthened toyota box cant handle it any more. i am being pushed towards an al's race glide C4 or a power glide. i still drive the car on the street a fair bit but not more than 4000k's per year. with the new engine i intend to build it will make approx 900 at the crank so it has to be able to handle that sort of power. any info would be appreciated.

2rismo Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I received the following email from Keas about a week ago: Thanks for your enquiry. We will get back to you within 24rs to confirm order or answer your query. [email protected] Haven't heard anything since and they don't list a phone number on their website. Guess they have far too much work to bother.

Fitzpatrick Speed Works Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 If you are going to drive on street I wouldnt recomend a 2 speed, especially on a smaller motor with a turbo as there is no torque to get the car to moving when off stall and you will hate that around town trust me.... For that much power a c4 might be okay, keas can build you a killer jatco that will take it, personally th400 are my fav 3 speed, but you will probs have probs adapting the thing and it will cost a bit, just ring keas they will sort you out, alternatively if they are too busy try hugo's in melbourne, can build a tranny that bloke!!!

Abo Bob Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I didn't like what I heard at Keas so I ended up going to Mike at MV Automatics in Adelaide. I honestly believe Mike is the most knowledgeable person with regard to Jatco's in Australia and discounting the engineers that designed the things right up there in the world. He gets jobs to do from all over the world (was building one for a Russian customer at the same time he was doing mine). The only thing is, he's in adelaide.
