After alot of reading I still have some questions, I have a R30 skyline with a Rb25det making 330kw at the wheels. I would rather a manualised auto for daily and drag use. Whats my options id rather a nissan box, not sure where to start.

Ur options as far as Nissan boxes go are:

Re4r01a (gtst box)

Re4r03a (300zx box stronger then 01a)

3 speed jatco (strongest of all the "Nissan" boxes)

Other boxes (although more then likely overkill)

Th400

C4

Powerglide (do not use a glide for a street car)

Research is half the fun with autos get googling :thumbsup:

Not saying it's a good idea (personally I reckon it'd be a bitch on fuel, plus no fun to drive) but from memory there's a QLD GTST, and one from Vic running powerglide transmissions. Both are daily driven. Not sure if there's any info on SAU, but could be worth a look.

What fully manualized auto options are out there with 4wd adaptors, I have a 260rs stagea, weight about 1650kgs

Re4ro3a built up can be supplied with a 4Wd adapter, that would be the most civilised if you can get a nice size lock up converter,

or glides and TH400's can be made with a 4WD adapter aswell, if you went all out..

cheers

I have a B@M cooler with a thermo fan on my stagea in the guard, i also have another davies craig trans cooler behind the intercooler

that it goes through first, then goes to b@M, then returns to trans

cheers

What trans temp does it run at...?

I am using a 30row engine oil cooler for mine. Trans temp hasnt gone above 60degrees while having some spirited driving.

Where's your sensor mounted Rob?

I have a 30 row on my trans also, I still see 80+ coming out of the converter, before the cooler. Obviously after the cooler is much lower. I wonder how much difference there is compared to at the the sump?

In the sump of the box.

I havent tried it on the transbrake as yet

With a temp gun aimed at the hot side of the cooler we saw 85 while loaded up on the foot brake for about 5 secs

Scotty you got a cheap spare cooler that would suit a 33?!

    • Do not ever trust ChatGPT with anything math related. They can't do math. They have no idea what it is. With enough data we can fit a decent equation in Excel, or if the available fits in Excel aren't good enough, a Matlab clone.
    • You could check/calibrate that with a thermometer, we have long glass thermometers at work which go from -10 to +150°c, they are pretty cheap too I believe,  as monkey fisted soldiers tend to break them, and getting new ones don't seem to send red flags to the people that hold the purse strings Edit: after a google they apparently cost about $80, but, digital ones seem to be much cheaper at around $40

    • Me, I would happly spend some more coin on better tyres for my street car  Will they work, yes, of course, but why substitute some dry grip/braking distance, and wet weather grip/braking distance on what is really old tech to save some coin on your "precious" street car In the end it might not be you that farks up, it's the thousands of other idiots on the street that you need to worry about  For a street car that gets some "fun time", I have found that a quality tyre that can handle dry, wet, cold (Canberra gets pretty cold) and hot conditions, which may costs a little more, is great insurance  From my experience with them (driving around Goulburn in the winter) the RE003's are pretty poor in cold and/or wet conditions on the street If RS4's didn't hate gripping in the cold I would be running them always on the street,  great in the dry, OK in the wet, but, they do hate the cold, with a passion, I run PS5's year round now, basically, I've found the PS5 to be a great year round street tyre for all conditions, they last well, and are mid range pricing wise TL;DR. Tyre choice is probably like what brand and grade oil you should use, ask 10 people, and get 10 different answers... LOL
