G'day

I was driving the R33 and the box is about to go, this will be my 4th box ive changed. Has anyone ever put in a TH400 or a Powerglide into a R33 ? I need something strong ive spent too $$$$ much on recos and shops kept promising the box will indestructable blah blah. My car is a daily driver.

you broke 4 built gearboxes with 190kws?

crazy

Exactly - WTF? Most people dont have problems until you head north of 350kw, and AFAIK no-one has problems at <300kw. Something's not adding up.

Yep there is more to the story.

You could simply buy a 2nd hand stock auto, and install it and it should be totally fine.

sounds like the shops doing the "recos" have no idea, or you are abusing the transmission something severe.

I had my transmission rebuilt at knox automatics and had a stage 2 shift kit fitted and it drives bloody awesome. i have 238rwkw and this thing is so much fun to drive now. give michael or bert a call on 0397642222

I have a C4 in my 33. Was awesome till I broke it. Not sure what let go as yet as I havent touched the car since it happened. It has reverse and no forward gears.

I was running 475rwkw thru mine and 900nm

How did you get c4 in

    • Oem std front sway and new oem end links mate   Rear recently moved to 24mm whiteline sway using the links that came with that
    • Hey mate just out of curiosity what front swaybar do you run and do still use the factory end links if you don't mind sharing that info.
    • They will be (within normal range) and they won't be causing the misfiring.
    • Chinese parts can be good, it's all in the quality assurance, and materials, but, that costs more, but, typically not alot more, it is up to the customer who is getting the parts made, some are happy to pay more for quality good QA and materials because the savings are in the cheap labour costs, so they can sell a quality product at a lower price point, other customers who are getting parts made give no farks and want their products to be as cheap as possible for maximum profit, so minimal QA and average materials  Hence why some Chinese parts are crap, whilst other are good Much like parts and other stuff made in different countries around the world, including "made in Australia", "made in Japan", "made in 'Merica" branded gear
    • Agree with Bogan bloke above. I like running quality tyres on my street driven cars. Wife's daily as well as my daily have Michelin PS4, good tyre that does everything you'd expect without fuss and reasonably priced for popular sizes that aren't enormous. Skyline had Yokohama on it for many years but have recently fitted zestino tyres. Just did a quick Google and they're actually Chinese made (jap designed apparently). Surprisingly they grip really well, wet and dry and haven't died, YET. Obviously on the higher end of CCP tyres but still China nonetheless.
