Vl Auto Or T400 Gear Box For R33

[17psi r33]

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.

[17psi r33]

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

sorry to revive an old thread but im exactly in this position at the moment pushing 500rwhp and have just blown a built re401a? any one in Sydney?

What about the re401b box?

the 1b box is weaker

the 1b box is weaker

Really? due to what differences?

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

The b box is from the r34 and it can be built to handle more power. If you talk to mv autos or gzm they will give you accurate data

[Caelen]

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
