I thought all the automatic r33s got 4 speed gear box, but when I listen to my car, its voice drops 4 times after it lauches, I mean I can hear it changing gears four times after when it accelerates from the 1st gear, which means there should be 5 gears in it!! Is there really any 5 speed automatic gear box exist for r33? or my gear box is just wierd? or it changes 4 times just mean it's 4 speed?...

Can any expert give an answer...

there is a 5 speed auto option. however the 4 speed runs a lock up torque converter which will make it sound like it is changing gears 4 times. my 4sp auto VT commodore does it. the torque converter will lock in in 3rd gear, which sounds like a 3rd gear change and then it will change into 4th

AFAIK there was a 5 speed auto available on NA R33s, . . but not many, the code for the auto/engine/rear axle assembly will be on the factory plate on the firewall . . .take a look

Sounds like the lock-up to me. Same thing with my 32 gts-t. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, overdrive, Lock-up. You'll note the lock-up only moves the revs down slightly, also once it is engaged it drives like a manual so when you load it up the revs don't immediately change. You can tell the 4th change is overdrive by turning it off, that will also stop the lock-up.

R33 2.5 na had the option for a 5 speed auto.

Only on the Type S, Easiest thing to do, jump into the VINS you want fasted thread and it will tell you if you have a 4sp or a 5sp.

or just look on the japanese blue compliance plate on the firewall! if its a 5 speed it will read something like RE5R01A or RE4R01A if 4 speed auto . . .easy sorted

my cars an auto, and the compliance plate reads re5r01A? so does that mean I've got a five speed auto box, and does it mean mines a type s?

yes . . . its a 5 speed, as for it being a type S . . NFI

there is a thread regarding type s 33s on here just search for it, if your car is a type s the model number will read E-ECR33 insteadof ER33 (I think) just search for it.

also type s has, LSD, rear sway bar, 5 speed,and rear wiper factory AFAIK

There's a few different variants from what I've found. For instance mine had turbo brakes, rear wiper, 4speed and no rear swaybar and is an er33 but in fast comes up as GTS25/S

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
