I was hoping that someone can help me.

I want to get some info on the re4ro3a auto (came standard in 300zx z32 & Nissan patrols)

The r33 rb25det auto is a re4ro1a. The 2 autos are the some ,but in the re4ro3a everything is bigger (so I've been told). The skyline bellhousing will bolt up & so on.

The person I spoke to about this auto said that, he can modify the valve body to 4gaers on the shifter, manual shift, & also a trans brake if I wanted

How many other mods is there for this auto ,is there any big pans for it

Has anyone pushed this auto to its limits, at what hp

Anything that anyone knows or heard about this auto, would be very helpful

Thank you for looking.

I've been looking on the Internet all morning, and I found a website that said ,

Re4ro1a was used for medium duty vehicles (r33 skyline, steaga)

Re4ro3a was used for heavy duty vehicles (300zx twin turbo, Nissan patrol gq-gu)

I also found the gear ratios for both (same ratios) ,& the 300zx had 3.692 diff gears ,which suits me

I would not be surprised if there are few to no physical differences between those two transmissions. There might be slight differences in the width or material spec of friction materials, or there might be line pressure differences designed to make it better able to haul around a heavier car.

Remember that in terms of manual transmissions, the big VG30 manuals are essentially the same gearbox as the big RB manuals. They're all about the same strength. It's trivial things that change, like overall gearing, the bellhousing, shifter location.

If you phone MV automatics in Adelaide they will help out.

Have you got a phone number / website

I also found out that they hold about 4litres, the guts of the auto is a bit wider & longer. The pump is also bigger

Folly built they can hold about 1000hp (so I've been told)

try 14 litres and your closer mate.

Let us know how you go with the auto

What you doing about the converter (standard , hi stall)

Will be around a 3500 stall. Mz will re work the std converter to what will suit your purpose included in that price

Auto was sent off today it will be back in 3 weeks to be installed and then some fun. Full manual valve body etc push button overdrive and push button lockup clutch for highway driv

So theres no automation on the lockup clutch at all? If you stop the car you stall?

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
