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:

Definitely!!!....and if we can sort out the GB....it would be

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 Sayin' :whistling:

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.

still keeping and eye on this cheers fellas. its a gimmee that full exhaust will get done (ive had HKS super draggers but not sure if could get one of them modified for stag? allways liked the sound and flow of them)with turbo wouldnt mind if i have to go external gate again(good for scaring little old ladies on the side of the road)

    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
