Hello all,

 

definitely feel like a voyeur as I don't actually own a 300ZX, well not all of one anyway...

 

My car is a stage 3 (GT3582 and all the trimmings) '94 Skyline GTST for which I have just invested in an RE4R03A auto box from a Z32TT to replace the standard RE4R01A. The old box is still going strong with a valve body upgrade but I don't want to invest any more in it as I think it is right on the edge of the power it can realistically handle.

 

So, I want to trick the new box out before I fit it (high on the list is a high stall TC, valve upgrades, and eventually a replacement TCM) and can't think of anywhere better to come for some guidance and maybe parts than here, which I am sure is full of fine motors sporting this box out of the, erm, box.

 

I'll spend some time reading through posts, but if anyone has any nuggets of wisdom in the meantime.... my car is not a daily driver, though I do want it to be usable on the road, I am mostly interested in fast 1/4 ET's and the occasional use on a track.

 

Cheers, Tim

You are very welcome Tim and hope you find all the info and parts you need.

Thanks for the welcome,

 

I forgot to mention that she also occasionally sports a pair of 300ZX standard 16" wheels with semi slicks for my drag runs, and a Z32 AFM so its practically a 300ZX anyway. ;-)

You need the real mccoy mate.:biggrin:

Am I right in thinking you want the Z32 auto box for fast 1/4 mile times?

Kinda,

 

my car is an auto anyway, always has been and always will be, no specific reason other than I like it that way and it is satisfying dragging a manual car. I managed

 

I do think that a properly set up auto that can get off the line on-boost at this kind of power level should be better for drag than a manual, if for no other reason than instant change-ups on full throttle. I've got more than enough power to compensate for the loss through the slush box... its more about stopping the wheels spinning. I've also fitted a manual diff which is higher gearing so I should be pretty much at the 1/4 mile marker or thereabouts in 3rd.

 

I want(ed) the Z32 box as it is much stronger than the Skyline box and there seem to be far more go-fast bits available for it, so I decided to buy one and start tricking it out that way I can take my time and make the right decisions about it.

Hi and welcome to the club Tim:thumbup:

I am in a similar position or well maybe> I really hope that the OP is still around and getting notifications. If not then maybe a friendly mod could send a mail to see if they will respond. I have a Nissan MPV that has the re4r01a that was supposed to be bullet proof but it gave up the ghost during mapping. Comissioned a pro builder to rebuild the trans and it has lasted less than 10miles on the first build and not much better on the 2nd with major flair between changes. I know in the states they dont struggle to put the 500 TQ through a re4r01a but seems UK struggle.  So looking for someone who has done the conversion and also if anyone on here knows the difference at the tail of the trans between turbo and non turbo. Re4r03a has a different sump shape with a bulge to accomadate the wider band. Tks and hear is hoping :-) BTW if anyone has an accelration run of an auto as a video would love to see it :-)

Contact Jimmer at Powerzed

He's the ZED Guru but also works on othere Nissans If he can't do it he probably knows a man who can

Spoke to Jimmer, nice chap :-) and knows what he is talking about

BTW anyone got a HKS ALC for sale :-)
