Hi guys, I have a r33 gtr, I'm looking to convert to autottrans, in order to get good times on drag strip.

What options do I have for a box that can withstand 1000hp.

Opinions and ideas would be great

Wasn't there a bunch that did adapted awd powerglides?

Thought I remember an advert somewhere. That's all I know.

C&V performance in NSW would be the people from memory. Adapter for a powerglide or at the least know who did it.

They built the RH8 32R that had over 1000rwkw. Safe to say it will hold 1000hp :-)

I'll try shooting off an email to c&v. its amazing that the GTR has been around for so long and there still isnt a set procedure as to high power with an auto.

thanks for your help #R31Nismoid

scratch that last question, that is an amazing launch, we are getting somewhere now.

does anyone no of any places i can get the TH400, and or a shop to modify to suit?

Why dont you have a chat to the owner of the car?

I don't know him, but after seeing the car on the strip, I think he is friendly with maatouks. Contact them see if they can point you the right direction.

thankyou very much

I DID speak to maatouks, i beleive he said they were using ppg in the black r32.

theyve blown that box now, and have a factory one in the meantime till the next option arrises

Nah, ask about the diehard GTR.

I sold him my entire setup. When I built the box 1200hp was the aim so I built a 1500hp glide to suit but plans changed after I ordered a big precision turbo that we felt might push the rating of the box so iv decided to get another done with a billet case and some other small tweaks.

Mv automatics did the orginal 4wd conversion and built a glide to suit which turned into a nightmare. There one of very few places that do the conversion and after dealing with them I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
