power fc will work but not safely and happily. the ecu wont deal with the autbox and assumes its manual. sydneykid has covered this heaps of times and the gearchanges are jerky and not safe/good for the auto box. that being said it wouldn't be impossible for 500hp. youd need all the usual bolt on stuff turbo, exhaust, intercooler, injetors, clutch, airflowmeter, fuel pump, ecu, tyres, brakes, suspension work, boost controller, clutch then youd also need to up the highstall for some fun, strength the auto box, transmission cooler and a very strong auto box. speak to your local auto mechanics place and ask them how much for an auto skyline box to handle 500hp see what they're reaction is, stacks of vl turbos probably get this power all the time and they probably use simiilar auto boxes, maybe powerglide or transbrake ?

having said all that and if you were to look at powerglide/transbrake why not change to manual, then you can get easy ecu options

curly_fry_44 i am looking around 400-450hp at the flywheel, cost me around $15,000 and i got labour for next to nothing through a mate. To get that figure from your car and do it through a performance shop you will be looking around $25,000

got 280 horsepower with a boost controller i am about to high flow the trubo which will let me run alot more boost im upgrading my gear box and getting nos plus i injectors upgrade suspeinsion and i should get around 430 with nos cost around the 5000 mark so yeah

You can get manual valve bodyed and trans braked Jatcos based on VL turbo autos that handle huge power and at 500hp you need one.

The firm shifts PFC and Wolf give autos has not hurt the autos even after many years and hard driving,Quicker changes can even help the auto as its like a shift kit and the bands -clutches lock faster making for less slip and heat.

    • 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.
