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

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
