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

      Dumb rich kid tries modding for the first time

      By Hexi · Posted

      Ohhh I see lol To be honest the main reason why I wanted to start modding is because of a business trip to Japan and Indonesia. I saw many cool and modded cars all throughout in these countries, especially Japan. I myself am of Chinese+Japanese nationality and when living in china (never lived in Japan js my dad side lol) I remember staring at these cars pass by with their loud tacky exhausts and insane wide body kits. And when I went back to Japan, I got even more invested even asking people about their cars and why they modded. Most gave similar answers to what you said but funny enough one guy just said that he saw the need for speed movie being filmed once in Tokyo I think near Shibuya Crossing and got inspired to tune and mod. After that I just started to fantasize on owning a car like that. Also tbh I prefer the R32 over the R34 it's just the R34 is more iconic lol (also apparently better aftermarket support than the R32) and my only goal really is just to make the car mine and make it fun to drive. As much as I love my Cayenne it's pretty bland to drive. Sure the interior is nice and pretty, gives you attention yada yada but I've wanted to experience what it is like to have a car that is truly yours. I suppose thats the goal so far. Haha if you find where I'm from, then sure. Ill help you out on your next "financial decision"

      From what I am discovering, the grey plug is auto signal. If you car is manual it's not relevant to your set up man.

      Trans oil cooler off a Stagea

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If it came off a Skyline you could easily have sold it for $500 to someone wanting OEM parts to return their car to stock. Not sure if that market is in the Stageas or not.

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      It sounds "expensive" when compared to a mass produced tow bar that gets imported from China, but if that's all custom fabrication, then I think where you've ended up, it's a pretty good price! Considering some people will pay thousands of dollars for a few intercooler pipes to be welded up!
