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..

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
