Good sports automatic gearbox for my R33 GTST.

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 :)

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...

Didn't realise your car was only 3 speed...thought it would be at least 4 speed.

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 ☺

    • The best part of my setup is, we only have two sites. Our head office where I'd put every thing has plenty of internet capacity. We're on a 200/200 dedicated fibre. Even better, there's only like 6 people in the office at most, and the other office has 2 people in it (likely 3 soon). The majority of our work is in a custom piece of software, as it is part of the backend of the system we provide to customers. For our arrangement, on prem would be wayyyyy easier, and a VPN tunnel site to site is easy for me to manage. Scaled at many many sites, or quite a few hundred employees it's starts getting a bit different for all people outside the head office. However, everything in the cloud becomes worse for the people who operated previously at the site that held the servers, as now they're at the mercy of their internet, and not GBPS internal network (f**k the idiots who hook a desktop PC up on WiFi or permanently sit at a desk using a laptop and don't go remotely with it).   It really does come down to the business needs and structure as to what is best. For us, 365 is mainly being moved to for office apps, moving email from Google to Exchange, and setting up "Active directory". Otherwise we have a ticketing system with support that runs on our own cloud system, or the sales process sits in a CRM we pay for. My biggest push back for having most of the shit turned off and saying no when people want new shiney things is "that won't meet our security requirements, or efficiency gains, so all you're requesting is money spend to open us up to security issues, or to make our staff less efficient" Which is funny when one of our core values is "To do more, with less"
    • Think of it as a fancy iFrame with the auth passed through to PowerBI as you're already authenticated logged into Teams   I'm the complete opposite, I hate everything on Prem, it's slow as shit, you need VPNs to get anything happening, then when you want on-prem DBs to talk to say PowerBI you need to install/setup data gateways to essentially VPN back into your SQL instance. I suppose from my perspective, on-prem sucks, but from an infrastructure perspective, your environment is somewhat air gapped to the web via your firewall(s), etc.   The curse of knowledge, the more you know the more you suffer. Farken philosophical shit.
    • Would you mind uploading the pics again in your steps?  It’s not showing up. 
    • Wherever you ask them to. I had one added to the crossover pipe near the BOV as well as the hot and cold sides of the intercooler piping to provide greatest flexibility in measuring temperatures post-turbo. I have the IAT installed in one, and bungs in the other two.
