Nahhh Darren, no man on man here mate!!! Sorry to disappoint haha. Anyways, so Darren do autos pull all over the shop in kws? Ps. I will have more than 2 grand for modding, just over a few months or so. I really don't want to go manual-but if huge difference in kW capabilities then maybe think about it. Or try rb25/30 on auto with built box

Just so you're aware a built auto box is around the $3-4K mark just for the box and that's generally on exchange basis.

For what it's worth I wouldn't bother with a stock box, either plan to build one from the outset or buy a manual car. I've got an early model RE4R01A auto box behind a 25/30 making 180rwkw but a lot of torque (lucky to be 300hp at the flywheel) with a shift kit and the box lasted 2000km before destroying the brake band. A later model RE4R01A like what comes in the R33/R34 is a little beefier with wider bands but it'd do the same thing eventually. I picked up a stronger RE4R03A and will try that with a shift kit but if it dies I'm putting the 25DET manual box in that's sitting under the bench as I can't justify sinking 4 grand into an auto box.

Cheers XR Pilot. But damn...3-4k for 2'000 km. it's a little disappointing to hear & only 180rwkw(sorry no disrespect XR). I was hoping for a lot more, like "Satanics" r34 project-I know it was a rb26/30 but still he kept it tip tronic & hit high hp. He did have hiccups though

Im not disappointed, i like vags..

Just trying to explain to you that wilst you may be able to have the money to modify the car by doing porn, you will also probally give up the right to float wilst swimming to get it..

And the autos suck..stupid f**king lock up converter is shite ,get a th400 or glide

cheers

Just to be clear - that was a shift kitted STOCK auto that lasted 2000km - which is why I said plan on getting a proper built auto or just get a manual car. Also it's "only" making 180rwkw on 9psi on a STOCK R33 turbo. The car was built for daily duties and I have no doubt it'd be far quicker than a 300rwkw RB25 in point-and-squirt style traffic driving. It makes over 100rwkw at a bit over 2000rpm.

I haven't read back to see if it has been asked already but what are you trying to build the car for exactly? Drags, drift, circuit racing, daily driver? Not trying to be harsh but you need to figure that out before you a) spend any money and b) decide you need a 600hp auto Skyline.

Are u looking to sell by any cance? Colour, kms, condition???

I had considered selling the entire box and transmission setup if the torque converter I am getting built doesn't end up doing what I want the car to do very well

(someone may want it for a different application, i.e drag)

But in all honesty, get the manual

If you would like to me expand on it, you should really, really, really get the manual.

To expand further, the gearbox has cost me closer to 10K to get it to where it is, which is good, but unless the TC from TCE makes it better than a manual (arguable!) you're at least, least, least spending 10K to get to the level where a $0 manual gearbox is at.

get the manual

To find out floor it till it swings a leg out of bed!!! Then back off 10% to be safe!!!

A manual RB25 can take 300rwkw and still be reliable. A NEO will - superior head - do a bit more.

Having said that I have now very likely angered the gods and mine will stop suddenly sometime soon.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
