After alot of reading I still have some questions, I have a R30 skyline with a Rb25det making 330kw at the wheels. I would rather a manualised auto for daily and drag use. Whats my options id rather a nissan box, not sure where to start.

After alot of reading I still have some questions, I have a R30 skyline with a Rb25det making 330kw at the wheels. I would rather a manualised auto for daily and drag use. Whats my options id rather a nissan box, not sure where to start.

Ur options as far as Nissan boxes go are:

Re4r01a (gtst box)

Re4r03a (300zx box stronger then 01a)

3 speed jatco (strongest of all the "Nissan" boxes)

Other boxes (although more then likely overkill)

Th400

C4

Powerglide (do not use a glide for a street car)

Research is half the fun with autos get googling :thumbsup:

Not saying it's a good idea (personally I reckon it'd be a bitch on fuel, plus no fun to drive) but from memory there's a QLD GTST, and one from Vic running powerglide transmissions. Both are daily driven. Not sure if there's any info on SAU, but could be worth a look.

What fully manualized auto options are out there with 4wd adaptors, I have a 260rs stagea, weight about 1650kgs

Re4ro3a built up can be supplied with a 4Wd adapter, that would be the most civilised if you can get a nice size lock up converter,

or glides and TH400's can be made with a 4WD adapter aswell, if you went all out..

cheers

I have a B@M cooler with a thermo fan on my stagea in the guard, i also have another davies craig trans cooler behind the intercooler

that it goes through first, then goes to b@M, then returns to trans

cheers

What trans temp does it run at...?

I am using a 30row engine oil cooler for mine. Trans temp hasnt gone above 60degrees while having some spirited driving.

Where's your sensor mounted Rob?

I have a 30 row on my trans also, I still see 80+ coming out of the converter, before the cooler. Obviously after the cooler is much lower. I wonder how much difference there is compared to at the the sump?

In the sump of the box.

I havent tried it on the transbrake as yet

With a temp gun aimed at the hot side of the cooler we saw 85 while loaded up on the foot brake for about 5 secs

Scotty you got a cheap spare cooler that would suit a 33?!

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
