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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
