hey guys,

im sure this has been brought up many of times but i cannot for the life of me find where to search the topics.. :|

im curious as to what the auto gearbox's are like and what my options are with a 25det.

i have a series 2 r33 gts25t and my manual box is in need of a rebuild so i have decided i want to convert to an auto box as i am setting the car up for drag.

i plan on seeting it up with a highstall, manual valve body an quick shift.

any help would be greatly appreciated. preferably from someone with experience using an auto box or an after market auto box.. so i can get a good idea of which direction to take..

thank you in advance

owen

also chasing info on this as this is the same bath i wanna head down anyway off the top of my head:

re4r01a: standard 3speed with overdrive

re5ro1a: found behind natro 33s (in type s form) aswell as maximas i thinkre4r03a: box behind 300zx stronger the. all skyline autos

c4: old school Ford 3 speed can handeling big power but will need trans tunnel massaging.

2 speed powerglide: really old chev box can handle stupid huge power but not ogre. ull see used in a skyline/street application.

mv autos in Adelaide is the best place to use apparently but i have no personal experience with the

... i wana have a box built to handel 300ish rwkwith a 3200 stall. but i don't know anyplaces in qld that'll do it.or how much it'll cost.

RE4R01A is a 4 speed with overdrive not 3 speed. . .MV automatics in south aus is your best bet for upgraded trans components inc valve bodies etc. . .stronger RE4R01A trans can be found in Y31 cedrics/cimas but need a change of bell houses from VG to RB

im thinking the RE4r03a is goin to be the pic from the research ive done so far..

basing my decision on the fact it will be the easiest to install, price, and availability of parts to upgrade as i increase the power figuers..

an yes this box is a 4 speed. 3 gears with an over drive as fourth.. which in drag racing terms says its a 3 speed as overdrive is just for cruising..

nikk, ill add you as a friend.. im interested to know how you go. will also keep you informed of how my set up goes :)

does anyone know what is required on the bell housing side of things to fit a RE4r03a to a rb25det?

an can some one who has actually had some work done with either of these boxs on a 25 please enlighten me with a little information on what prices you have paid to have what done..

my plan is to set up with a full manaul valve body, quickshift, and highstall.. an power figure being around the 400 rwkw.. and application being drag..

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
