Hey guys

I put my stagea back together and have few questions. Its a s1 c34 stagea with an RB3025

Front shafts have been removed and RB30 sump used.

Can the bands in the box be tightened up? Cause i was told by the gearbox guy that there is no adjustment possible. The issue is 3rd flares under some load and generally it drops down gears a bit to eagerly.  It will hold 4th on a flat

Also, it wont go into Park anymore, is that common ?

Finally, should i grab another box and throw it in or rebuild it? Mechanic guy quoted $1600 just to swap a secondhand box in which seems steep..

Is there a reason why you don't want to go manual?  My box packed up with just the modified turbo so I put a manual box in before I got the RB30.

To answer your questions you will have to spend thousands to get your box to take significantly more than stock power. There is someone on this site that has such a box for sale but I forget who he is and don't know how much he wants for it.

The go to guy was Mike at MV Automatics in Adelaide [email protected] who makes a shift kit he will send to you but I think that just gives you a crisper change and don't think it adds to the ability of the box to take big power. You could give him a ring any way.

Have you tried the for sale or parts wanted section? I think people just throw away their autos when they go manual. There are a couple of people on this site right now doing manual conversions.

Can i use an R34GTT 2wd autobox?

Yes you could, but my experience was the RE4R01A doesn't like the torque increase when you go 30. So I installed a RE4R03A out of a Z32 in my R33. Two years and still going strong.

Does it bolt straight up and work?

I already have a manual in my r33,  this car i want to be auto to be different and with manuals unless i pay $3k from japan for a new box it might turn out to have worn synchros/crunching etc anyway..

If i remove and install myself then maybe will get away with $2kish??

Need to shorten front half of drive shaft using z32 yoke, cause the box is longer, and change the bellhousing for your original and sort out the electrics. Mine was done by Joel at JB autos over Cleveland way

Ahh well thats not too far but labour adds up unless i just tow it once ive installed it, z32 autos are pretty old now though

I like the z32 idea though as would be strong and cheap

Joel told me can easily handle 600hp. I paid $250 for a good one and had it checked by him and some new parts were fitted. Hardy Spicer built me a new taiLshaft for $500.

      Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!

      curious to know what drivers you chose and the results? quik mafs, says two 6.5s should roughly equate somewhere between a single 8" or 10" driver. i agree that IB is definitely the way to go in most cars imo.

      Rear suspension upgrades

      S13 and R32 rear suspension geometry is horrible once you lower it (which everyone does). The camber & toe out ramp is very aggressive, hence it's common for the S13 boys/girls to use a S14 or S15 subframe as the geometry is light years ahead. I'm sure the same can be done on R32s, but I don't know anyone that has done that.

      Well, of course there's something wrong with the suspension. It was like that when it came out of the factory. Nissan wanted it to ride at least 50mm higher than most of us. They wanted it to be comfortable enough that the press and user reviews didn't complain about fillings being knocked out of teeth. The marketing people wanted to be able to talk about their fantastic new 4WS system (even if it was a pointless exercise, ha! pointless! Do you see what I did there? no? oh well. too bad). There weren't any semi-slicks or semi-semi-slicks or 18" wheels. Laser pointers didn't exist, so you couldn't easily build a bump steer gauge. There wasn't any better technology for suspension bushes than squishy shit in a condom. The list goes on.

      I personally recommend not messing with factory suspension until you can clearly identify something wrong. For example I think the R33 might need some way to adjust front camber because I feathered the edges of the tires much more than the center of the tread doing some figure 8s and slalom.
