Good sports automatic gearbox for my R33 GTST.

Hi everyone, just looking at gettting some ideas for a solid sports automatic gearbox for my R33 GTST Series 1 sedan. I like the idea of an auto as its my day to day/ family car that I want to still have some fun with. Any help ideas and points in the right direction will be greatly appreciated :12_slight_smile:

If you have a manual sell it and buy an auto. There are probably lots of Skyline owners who would like to trade their autos for your manual. If you have an auto already the stock box is perfectly adequate and if it is tired you can get it recond and beefed up a little.

Thanks KiwiRS4T, I already have an auto, but the stock 3 speed for the 94 is just not quite cutting it, so looking at changing it out maybe for something a bit more responsive. Any ideas? Thanks for the advice though.

Not without spending a fortune. A shift kit will transform it but still 500ish unless you do the work yourself.

Thanks for the idea, would you recommend anything particular? An auto mod car is new to me so just getting ideas... previously only had manuals but after my sports auto chaser I've found a new love for the ease of city driving in a auto :)

Mike at MV Automatics sends shift kits all around the world. Didn't realise your car was only 3 speed...thought it would be at least 4 speed. Contact Mike and see what he can do for you:

I used a transgo kit with some custom tweaks to it. Kit was only $85 bucks, plus fluid and gaskets cost. There is a thread on it here in the transmission section. You're not in Brisbane by any chance? We might be able to do a trade...

was thinking, your manual box and gear for my shift-kitted auto, if you're looking to swap to an auto already upgraded.

I would love to mate cause it would save me doing it but I have an auto. I was just looking for ideas on how to go about upgrading it. Thanks for the offer though ☺

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.

      So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about

      This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but..

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
