just wanting to put a 3 speed auto with trans break or something along those lines in my r33 gts have any one done the turbo 400 into the r33 or vl boxes? just wanting to know what direction would be the easyest while keeping cost down as a modded r33 auto to handel 500rwhp is exspensive.

I bought a C4 with 3800 stall from Fred @ Protrans. I just had to make a gearbox mount and have the tailshaft modded.

It got a transbrake. My 33 made just under 500rwkw.

What speedo drive do I need to work with the R33 dash. I need a speedo that works. lol

Did you have an auto before or manual? How low is your car? What's your goal? Drag or daily? A T400 from a chevy has a deep pan. Might drag it over speed humps. Castlemaine Rod Shop in Victoria sells adapters for 350/400/700. It's been done. I built a RB26 with a 700 attached for a guy here in the US. Put it in a sand rail for him.

Not a 26. Meant a 25

So pricing back for a C4 setup from Al's autos will come in around $6500 for box and converter or around $9000 fitted.

EEK! after cooking a built GZM re401a ($4500 later), I'm not sure what to do!

I just had a re401b built by mv autos for under $3500 with converter full manual valve body etc. I like the 4 speed option of the jatco

Do they give an estimate as to what the box will handle and what are the differences if going from type A box to type B (wiring, overdrive, drive shaft lengths?

Sorry to sound like such a noob, Only just getting into the world of skylines coming from 4x4's.

They said they had a customer with 500kw in a 33 drag car for 2 years with no problems. I have the overdrive on a switch and it's a direct replacement for the a box

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
