Beefing up an AT...

1viadrft · #1 09-01-2004, 05:25 PM

Screw you MT snobs!

j/k, boys! Well the time is nearing... I will have one of the fastest NA's with AT... just you watch! As planned, I will eventually build-up and stroke out my VG30DE, get some headers, test-pipes, exhaust and run some nitrous. I'm hoping on having well over 300HP (take that you TT drivers!) w/o the nitrous...

But what about the tranny? I'm pertty sure that the lil' AT could not handle all that power. And I definately want to stay AT (more bragging rights!). Aside from a high stall Torque Convertor... how else should I beef up my AT? Are there any other proven parts out there?

Talk to SGP Racing. That Kyle dude that runs 10s uses an AT. They would DEFINATELY know what you need and where to get it.

See how nice the USDM tail lights are?

Some of the fastest drag cars are AT... I dont care for a 5speed when it comes to street driving... Esspecially in the Nine-One-0.

Traffic is crazy here...

Anyways, we'll see George... I would love to see it, but it isn't going to be cheap... At all.

No...no way will it be easy...or cheap...but on the other hand, I don't think it'll cost a "fortune" by any means...just some words of encouragement...

I know it's not gonna be cheap... I plan on carrying this out through a couple of years or so. Or unless I get a better paying job... I'm also thinking of going back to school for welding or something. But right now I'm just working on getting my credit cards paid off (kids, credit cards are evil!) and hopefully when the new year comes around I can get this ball rolling.

LoL Shaddup! You like USDM lights so much you can have mine, Snot-Nosed TT driving, MT Punk!!!

Thanks for the link, BTW. I never heard of Specialty Z before. And they are like the only ones who acknowlegde the AT powered Z... Me likey. $2500? I gotta start saving my pennies!

Well, I think I'm probably the only one with an AT around here... but has anyone here ever used the HKS ALC? Know of someone that has one? I heard pretty good stuff so far...

i just think you are too scared to do a 5 speed swap. na, j/k. at least you are being smart and not act like some other people, "i'm going to run tons of horsepower through my stock at". i have seen it.

longlivetheZ · #9 09-02-2004, 06:19 PM

I've heard of that HKS thingy...heard it's the best money you'll ever spend for you AT, but I dunno...doesn't really apply to me.

And yes, credit cards are spawns of satan...

k3smostwanted · #10 09-02-2004, 06:24 PM

i have a buddy with the HKS ALC and he claims it is the best money he has spent on his 300zx TT. he swears by it. no more sloppy shifts at all. so yeah...im guessing that is a very good product.

1viadrft · #11 09-02-2004, 06:28 PM

It's only like $300... maybe I'll get it soon.

longlivetheZ · #12 09-02-2004, 06:34 PM

yea...that's who I heard it from....K3....you guys need to go read the "saleen vs. 350Z" thread in the 350Z forum, too...you and delerious...I just wonder if I'm wrong for being kinda baffled by some of the things that dude said...

Then take yourself outside and give yourself a sound whipping for you are a bad person.

1viadrft · #14 09-03-2004, 10:58 AM

I like whippings....

when there is a moderator on past z car forums, he needs to make a sticky for off-topic posts. not trying to be mean or anything, but i have noticed that in about 90% of threads, everybody gets off-topic. i am tired of reading through quite a few posts just to find out that there is no point. i am glad that past z car forums is this laid back, but damn, there is way to much of it. okay, my rant is over.
