just wanting to put a 3 speed auto with trans break or something along those lines in my r33 gts have any one done the turbo 400 into the r33 or vl boxes? just wanting to know what direction would be the easyest while keeping cost down as a modded r33 auto to handel 500rwhp is exspensive.

I bought a C4 with 3800 stall from Fred @ Protrans. I just had to make a gearbox mount and have the tailshaft modded.

It got a transbrake. My 33 made just under 500rwkw.

What speedo drive do I need to work with the R33 dash. I need a speedo that works. lol

Did you have an auto before or manual? How low is your car? What's your goal? Drag or daily? A T400 from a chevy has a deep pan. Might drag it over speed humps. Castlemaine Rod Shop in Victoria sells adapters for 350/400/700. It's been done. I built a RB26 with a 700 attached for a guy here in the US. Put it in a sand rail for him.

Not a 26. Meant a 25

So pricing back for a C4 setup from Al's autos will come in around $6500 for box and converter or around $9000 fitted.

EEK! after cooking a built GZM re401a ($4500 later), I'm not sure what to do!

I just had a re401b built by mv autos for under $3500 with converter full manual valve body etc. I like the 4 speed option of the jatco

Do they give an estimate as to what the box will handle and what are the differences if going from type A box to type B (wiring, overdrive, drive shaft lengths?

Sorry to sound like such a noob, Only just getting into the world of skylines coming from 4x4's.

They said they had a customer with 500kw in a 33 drag car for 2 years with no problems. I have the overdrive on a switch and it's a direct replacement for the a box

      I did not go to GTR Festival. It's quite a long drive and the car wasn't dialed in yet. I also wanted to see how the racing portion went before going. From what I can tell the classes were not heads up, index, or bracket - just whoever has the quickest ET wins. Never heard of that sort of thing before and maybe some people like it but it's not my cup of tea. I don't suspect I'll go if that is how the racing is done. I did get the car out three times and had issues each time. Some were my error - haven't raced the car in over two years - and others were parts. Had trouble getting the clutch to slip correctly and remembering how it was set up in the Haltech. Broke some drivetrain parts as well that couldn't be fixed in a couple days to get back out. Season definitely didn't end the way I wanted but at least the bearings are still fine! Not a fleck of material in the filter. Really hoping next year is the year I can actually test this car properly.

      find it funny everyone claims different fuel chains, do different things with their fuel blah blah blah. We don't have that many fuel terminals in Australia. The fuel tanker trucks drive into the terminal, fill up, and drive directly to the service station and dump out. The majority of fuel you get, is coming out of the same terminals. The variation is actually at the individual service stations and how good their tanks are, as well as how much turn over they actually have. Older fuel stations, that haven't had their tanks replaced are going to end up with the worst fuel. Also a lot of older stations have shit design, and shit maintenance, and end up with more water absorption into the tank. This is when you then get a bad batch of fuel. Other shit things happen, like tanker drivers have a f**k up, and starting to unload the wrong compartment on their truck into the wrong tank.
