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.

There is a marron gtst with plates H8 GRIP or something like that in qld that has a powerglide in it.

YouTube r33 powerglide it's the marron one

The auto will suck 10% of the engine power on average so you need to aim higher than your goal. What GCG highflow is it, the 3076 cartridge? Why not save 1k and get a more responsive Hypergear? Or j

Figured I'd post up my dyno sheet here as I (scotty) finally got the car up and running again. Trent @ Chequered had to actually not go WOT until 4500 RPM as the spike was causing his dyno to sh

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.

f**k knows, its just the car to take kids to school ..i put them both in there as i had them sitting around and a "built" RE401RB box is marginal i think once i fit turbo and run 22psi with the weight of the car. I just wanted to take no chances,as heat is the biggest killer of auto boxes . i found one cooler with transbrake and slippery converter wasn't that great in R31, will be having 2 in R31 next time aswell, its quite normal in the U.S, here i only commonly see one fitted.

cheers

My cooler setup, two 30 row coolers, one 12an for oil and one with 8an for the trans. (plus the PS cooler.) Not much room left. lol.

The engine oil cooler has a 14 inch fan on it, and the transmission one has a 9 inch spal. Both fans electronically controlled off temp sensors in the cooler return lines.

Mine is a bit more of a squeeze than that. I dont have room for fans and my coolers almost touch side by side. Even with the grout in the block water temp still seems fine :thumbsup:

get the biggest one you can from Supercheap or whatever - shouldn't be more than an hour's labour to install - get some quotes if you're worried.

Read this even if you don't plan to do it yourself:

Replace the coilovers with stock suspension, put smaller rear wheels 15/16 inch with street drag radials, hi stall torque converter, mv auto shift kit have some fun.

My question, how much can a stock 32 auto take? Has 33 turbo with vg30 rear housing and supporting mods.

Thanks for the advice. Its my daily and I want a nice looking car with a bit of poke , so I dont really want to ditch the coilovers and run 16's.

Would a high stall &/or a shift kit net me a second? really want to get into the 5's

what are you guys doing 0-100km/h in your auto's?

A shift kit is a must at much over stock power.

All a high stall converter will do for you is to lose you power, but it may help get you off the line a little quicker. If you have the stock turbo, leave the converter alone.

thanks for the input. Why exactly am i so slow getting to 0-30km/h and the engine only really starts pulling hard to 100? Cant be that much turbo lag since its only a tiny turbo on the rb25

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
