Good sports automatic gearbox for my R33 GTST.

Hi everyone, just looking at gettting some ideas for a solid sports automatic gearbox for my R33 GTST Series 1 sedan. I like the idea of an auto as its my day to day/ family car that I want to still have some fun with. Any help ideas and points in the right direction will be greatly appreciated :12_slight_smile:

If you have a manual sell it and buy an auto. There are probably lots of Skyline owners who would like to trade their autos for your manual. If you have an auto already the stock box is perfectly adequate and if it is tired you can get it recond and beefed up a little.

Thanks KiwiRS4T, I already have an auto, but the stock 3 speed for the 94 is just not quite cutting it, so looking at changing it out maybe for something a bit more responsive. Any ideas? Thanks for the advice though.

Not without spending a fortune. A shift kit will transform it but still 500ish unless you do the work yourself.

Thanks for the idea, would you recommend anything particular? An auto mod car is new to me so just getting ideas... previously only had manuals but after my sports auto chaser I've found a new love for the ease of city driving in a auto :)

Mike at MV Automatics sends shift kits all around the world. Didn't realise your car was only 3 speed...thought it would be at least 4 speed. Contact Mike and see what he can do for you:

I used a transgo kit with some custom tweaks to it. Kit was only $85 bucks, plus fluid and gaskets cost. There is a thread on it here in the transmission section. You're not in Brisbane by any chance? We might be able to do a trade...

was thinking, your manual box and gear for my shift-kitted auto, if you're looking to swap to an auto already upgraded.

I would love to mate cause it would save me doing it but I have an auto. I was just looking for ideas on how to go about upgrading it. Thanks for the offer though ☺

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
