hey guys,

im sure this has been brought up many of times but i cannot for the life of me find where to search the topics.. :|

im curious as to what the auto gearbox's are like and what my options are with a 25det.

i have a series 2 r33 gts25t and my manual box is in need of a rebuild so i have decided i want to convert to an auto box as i am setting the car up for drag.

i plan on seeting it up with a highstall, manual valve body an quick shift.

any help would be greatly appreciated. preferably from someone with experience using an auto box or an after market auto box.. so i can get a good idea of which direction to take..

thank you in advance

owen

also chasing info on this as this is the same bath i wanna head down anyway off the top of my head:

re4r01a: standard 3speed with overdrive

re5ro1a: found behind natro 33s (in type s form) aswell as maximas i thinkre4r03a: box behind 300zx stronger the. all skyline autos

c4: old school Ford 3 speed can handeling big power but will need trans tunnel massaging.

2 speed powerglide: really old chev box can handle stupid huge power but not ogre. ull see used in a skyline/street application.

mv autos in Adelaide is the best place to use apparently but i have no personal experience with the

... i wana have a box built to handel 300ish rwkwith a 3200 stall. but i don't know anyplaces in qld that'll do it.or how much it'll cost.

RE4R01A is a 4 speed with overdrive not 3 speed. . .MV automatics in south aus is your best bet for upgraded trans components inc valve bodies etc. . .stronger RE4R01A trans can be found in Y31 cedrics/cimas but need a change of bell houses from VG to RB

im thinking the RE4r03a is goin to be the pic from the research ive done so far..

basing my decision on the fact it will be the easiest to install, price, and availability of parts to upgrade as i increase the power figuers..

an yes this box is a 4 speed. 3 gears with an over drive as fourth.. which in drag racing terms says its a 3 speed as overdrive is just for cruising..

nikk, ill add you as a friend.. im interested to know how you go. will also keep you informed of how my set up goes :)

does anyone know what is required on the bell housing side of things to fit a RE4r03a to a rb25det?

an can some one who has actually had some work done with either of these boxs on a 25 please enlighten me with a little information on what prices you have paid to have what done..

my plan is to set up with a full manaul valve body, quickshift, and highstall.. an power figure being around the 400 rwkw.. and application being drag..

    • My first thought is run hardlines, but running a soft pipe is easier and quicker, though normally more exxy...
    • It sounds like the perfect time to do easier tasks like, work out how to pull the headlights fully apart, clean them inside and out, and make them meticulous... Or lose all the clips, f**k up polishing the lenses, and get frustrated with that job while you can't do bigger more fun ones and wind up with no usable headlights...   I mean... What?! 😛
    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lipomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, more time to contemplate rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
