FAST refers to 5 speed auto for R32/R33???

[the phantom]

The Nissan Fast database mentions availability of a 5 speed auto for the R33 series. Has anyone seen, heard or know anything about a 5 speed auto for an R33???

* I know nothing about automatic gearboxes for skylines *

Maybe its the 4 speed auto + overdrive ?

[the phantom]

Nah...the 4 speed auto is a 3 speed + OD.

The five speed auto was apparently available in the R33 GTS, type G, type G SE and the type S.

Never heard of anyone mentioning one though...

I've heard of some guys in NZ mentioning them but i've never seen one and I'm not sure why some cars came with one!

Does anyone have any more info?

[PHATR32]

fast also shown a rear diff cooler for the gtr but ive never seen one anywhere.

I wondered about that...there definately is a 5sp designation code for the transmission though.

So far i just know that the R32 RB25de and R33 RB25de came with the 5 speed auto. I'm not sure if all of them did.

My HCR32 has a 5 speed auto.

It has 3 gear selections on the shifter and then 2 other gears on overdrive.

The overdrive sucks because when I'm driving Miss Daisy in the back and select OD after 80kmh, both 4th & 5th gear shift within a couple of seconds and the next thing I know I'm doing 80kmh with the engine turning at 1500rpm - needless to say it's pretty bloody gutless down there in that rev range. But when I'm on her she'll swap into 4th at 150kmh and 5th at 190kmh.

My only real bugbear is the inability to select 4th and 5th at will, which is why I'm in the middle of procuring everything for my manual conversion, no more auto for me.

I saw a five speed in a non turbo rb20de R33.... 4 door.....

I thought it was very strange as the dash in the 33 has the gear selection lights it had 1-4 then drive... a normal auto r33 had 1-3 then drive...

Maybe you could get one, manualise it and then get a slightly taller diff. That would be good and quick.

[the phantom]

So are both 4th and 5th overdrive in both the R32/33?? Has anyone got a handbook that shows ratios?

[Col-GTSX]

I dont know where youd get that info other than nissan japan... I have only ever seen one myself and i was confussed... I spoke to the guys in our auto devision and they had never seen one nor did they have any tech info on this box....

[Col-GTSX]

Yeah putting a manual box in a standard auot is a good thing...

I did it in my old GTSX.... The diff ration is taller and makes for a faster acc but lower top speed... But top speed is not important at QLD raceway nor on the strip as you will never reach red line top gear..... So yes this is a great idea....

Nissan had the 5-speed auto transmission designated RE5R01A, it's sister to the 4-speed, the RE4R01A and was used in both the Skyline series and the 1999 Q45 4.1 V8 Infinity, although there are other vehicles, I can't remember exactly which ones.

The manual coversion is going to be a wait and see as the gearbox I have coming is a Nismo close ratio, so the diff ratio may be a bit extreme for the box, should be fun for a while though!
