Im just looking for some advice on upgrading auto trans. I'm driving a stock R33 SII (apart from the nifty nismo front ) I really dont know much about available options for automatics. What I would really like to fit would be a automatic trans with a sequential shift like the ones out on the new fords. I could always convert the car to manual but I feel that would be too much of a job.

yeah, don't belive anyone that says that auto's are shit, because they aren't.

DO what RNS11Z says, and then bomb your motor, and you'll have a nice little car that will change quick, and be good in straight line drags

Actually i believe its the other way round kamikazee. Your going to need a shift kit for the Auto. If you want 200+rwkw get it rebuilt with stronger internals, a new stall converter and bigger trans cooler

Do u know any where in brissy that does auto gtst gearbox mods?

actually the R34 tiptronic is the kind of thing im looking for. I dont want to buy a 34 because... err.. i just bought this 33 but yeah is it possible to get something like the R34 trans installed in a R33?? Otherwise im not complaining about autos at all. If I wanted a manual right up i would have bought one. (I do long drives as well as driving through the CBD and clutches frustrate me in traffic) It would be nice to have just a little more control over the gears when needed. I'm looking into shifts kits, is JATCO the thing to look for??

i cant find contact information for JATCO in japan but they have on their website a 5-SPEED Auto Transmission for Skylines. Unfortunately thats about all the info they give out. theres no links to a technical specs and not even an email address to ask them. who here knows about these transmissions and can they go in a R33 GTS?

your local auto workshop should be able to do some mods to the auto box aka stage 2 shift kit, which i believe helps in quicker changing of the auto box. as others have said, upgrade ecu, cooler, boost controller, air filter and you'll find the auto should be still fine

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
