lol.....great for straight line mate...shit I was using powersglides 20 years ago......Drag racing is for poof's imo!.......couldn't give a shit if a car does a 10 second quarter....show me it's still pulling at the same rate over 1000m and I'm impressed!......I want a gearbox that is drivable as an every day....or more to the point on the track!

P.S. Mate not be an ahole either....all in jest and conversation!....just don't want you to take what I'm saying the wrong way!

Each to their own. Everyone has skylines these days so I want something different. If I wanted a drag car I would keep the 33 as thats what I built it for but am over it. If I was after a circuit car I would have a gtr. The stagea will be something different. More of a cruiser with hp.

:cheers:

Ok, how much is a lot of cash? I have spent over 4k and it isnt holding up well at 300kw, I wont be spending any more on it as everything has been done... The clutches are just too small in diameter.

34 Getrag is the only way forward from here unless you go 4 speed auto, same issues with the bell housing though and the ecu will crap itself with either mod.

What model box do you have and who built it...? Is it RE4R03A..?

Gearbox is not built yet because I cannot decide wether I want to go through the headache of doing a manual conversion yet.....If I could find someone who wanted a VQ35DE motor and ECU and not the rest of the manual, pedal box ect....it would be a lot cheaper and easier.

current GB is a POS of a RE5RO5A with transfer case!

how do the yanks pump so much power through theirs?

Ok, done some digging. Looks like 600RWHP has been tried and tested on a Z33 5AT Twin Turbo

Pulled from "My350Z" by GT Motorsports, a popular Tuner Stateside.

We offer three different levels of automatic transmission upgrades:

Stage 1 is what we call our valve body upgrade.

Stage 2 is our valve body upgrade plus our upgraded torque converter.

Stage 3 is a complete transmission upgrade which will increase the amount of friction plates and steel plates in the input, forward, and hi reverse drums. All these friction plates are high energy clutches designed to withstand very high loads. Some machining work is done to the case and the drums to improve the low reverse and low coast clutches’ load capacity. It also includes a new brake band, in addition to the valve body and the new torque convertor.

The idea behind the level of stages is to allow the customer to upgrade from one stage to the next based on his power needs, so if you get the stage 1 or 2 and you ever decide to go with the Stage 3 all you have to pay is the deference in price. We will have a full right up on the GTM transmissions upgrades soon.

Stay Tuned…

Prices:

Stage 1 Valve Body $847.00

Stage 2 Valve Body + Torque Converter $1,309.00

Stage 3 Full Transmission upgrades $4,692.90

is it different for the 4wd?| more or less load?

also the transfer case???

it would be good to get a build to hold!

and thats as an exchange... its another $2000 if your not supplying your own :blink:

Effectively its just a fully rebuilt gearbox I guess. I'd go a V35 manual conversion running RWD before that (seeing I can't run a hydraulic transfer...)

the internals of the transmission appear to be the same. we just have the attesa system on the rear of the gearbox.

so pretty much anything that the G35/V35/Z33 auto trans uses, we can probably use too!

That 600hp is on petrol, with probably 800 - 1000nm. Mine was at 300kw and 1100nm. Its the torque that slips the clutches so you can see why i'm having issues. I may have to change back to petrol if it slips and I know it will with the new turbo.

I have a completely standard m35. Only mod is LPG liquid injection. Scotty put a half system on mine the other night (dump pipe and next segment). i am EXTREMELY happy with the results! more than i expected by far. Get it done if your looking for a bang for your buck.

I agree :thumbsup:

This is the way I did my exhaust; dump first etc, there is literally NO down side; virtually no increased noise nothing visible, just powaaaahhh!

I still think the best bang for buck mod is; http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/356950-eoi-for-whiteline-nm35-sway-bars/

Just found out that someone in Queensland has built a 350Z - 3.8 TT WITH a Getrag 6sp AND electromagnetic transfer case clutch...

I'll be very interested in how this goes/ how he bolted the transfer up.
