Decent Auto Transmission Specialists Brisbane (or Toowoomba)


Recommended Posts

Hey guys my R33 GTST Series 1, 4speed Auto gearbox has shat itself out in the middle of bum*&k nowhere! It was bound to happen sooner or later as the car has been slightly modified (pod, boost t (12psi), intercooler, bov, exhaust etc), but nothing too mad and it was the stock 4speed auto (145,000km). I need to know some decent auto specialists in either brisbane (or toowoomba at the worst) as i will be getting the car freighted back asap after boxing day. Need someone to look at it pretty quickly so i can get it assessed and quoted, as i will be heading away for work on the 30th of december and hopefully get the work done while im away! Oh and p.s any recommendations on whether a reconed, strengthened 4speed would be the best (not cheap) quick fix, because i dont have the cash or time atm to attempt a manual conversion?

Any help would be awsome,

Cheers Brendan

Im also looking into transmission workshops at the moment, although I havnt had any dealings with them, will either go with:

http://www.aspleyautos.com.au/autoframe.htm

http://www.wsautomatics.com.au/extreme/re4ro1a_re4ro3a.php

ive heard west side are pretty decent.

my box recently shit itself.

i found the cheapest option was buying another auto box and put that in.

if you look around people usually sell them for $200ish if you get lucky.

It then cost me $796 to have my old trans removed, shift kitted valvebody removed and cleaned and swapped into new transmission and new transmission installed.

so $1000 all up.

would be cheaper without all the valvebody messing around

This work was done by bob grant autos in coorparoo.

guys seemed pretty decent. try and speak to gary if you can though. he always seemed more helpful.

For those of you in SE Qld I just got a quote of $595.00 +gst from Western Suburbs Automatics at Rocklea to have a shift kit installed in my series 2

Was that $595+ GST drive-in-drive-out with service? I'm looking at getting my R34 shift kitted and service, and probably upgrade the transmission cooler. I work in Coopers Plains so something a bit more local is definitely ideal.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
