Default TH400'd Nissan Skyline GT-R33 !

Hi,

This is my first ever post here and need some help from transmission builders

I have a 1100whp Nissan skyline GT-R R33 that is getting a th400 converstion for the new drag season over here as the stock tranny obviously can't take the power and sequential is too pricey, my only and fastest option would be the th400 like all the supra boys

I'm from the Persian gulf and can't ship a ready tranny from the states as the cost of shipping would be too much, so I wanna get a stock th400 from here and build it over here

The car will have trans-brake too to load and boost the engine off the line as the turbos are huge and need to get 1.3-1.4 60' to really challenge the guys in the outlaw cat. here

I need help on what to buy for the tranny to make it hold 1k whp reliably for a season, whats a good average torque converter? which flexplate should i buy ( only ATI does one for the rb26dett skyline engine as far as I know) ? which clutches to get ? which full manual trans-brake kit in reverse pattern to get ?

The adapter I already got

Tranny builders, your input would be appreciated

Thanx

Sure,

These are some pix of the car from last year, it used to have a sequential tranny

Best time for the car was 9.1 on nitto555r tyres and no nos

I wanna take it to the next level with a th400/ 28/16/10.5 MT drag radials and a spool up nos kit

Car sounds bad a$$. Just out of curiosity, how do you mate TH400 to Nissan engine?

Since you invested so much in the engine, I would say invest in the transmission and get a built one from one of the vendors. It will cost you around $700-800 to ship.

Where're you from?

I have an ATI adapter to mate the th400 to the almight rb26
We do have customs ones too over here..


We have good tranny builders here, so I just need to get the parts ..the tranny itself is very cheap over here..

I'm from BAHRAIN ..next to dubai, uae
