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.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
