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.

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.

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!!!

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.

      There really needs to be an ODBII item that can play intake noise through speakers, synchronized with your current RPM and TPS%.

      So, we now have a straight and clean boot lid inbound and the car goes in for paint, again, on Wednesday, and will be ready on Friday, all ready to get cams and stuff on Monday  And by straight and clean.....I mean a brand new OEM one that cost..... $1300....😪 Sadly there's no clean undamaged used soft top version available, plenty for the power retractable hard top versions though, which is arse and makes Mark have the sads I could have waited longer, until a NC sort top boot lid eventually turned up, but I'm sick of waiting and said fark it and made it rain cash, meh In other naturally aspirated news, one of the guys at work brought in his old Corola which had a 4AGE in it, really nice clean car with lots of mods, including ITB's, man that things induction noise sounds sick with all of the dorts that makes you smile......maybe the NC needs ITB's, yeah, basically for the noise they make, but they're pretty expensive, but, they sound so damn good I may bring this up when I drop the car up on Monday, and by may, I mean I will🤣🤑🤪🤣
