all i think is you do the following pick a glide, or pick 3 other boxes tell everyone how great they are and then 6 months down the track eat your own words and goto a glide because all you do is smash the **** out of 3-4k boxes T400 is probably the only other comparable box within most peoples budget

^I agree. Smashed my 3 speed two or three times. Shouldn've gone glide from the start. New car has one and I love it.

Bought a 1000hp glide from Neal transmissions in the states $2500 landed pretty cheap and the best thing is brand new with a transbrake

Yeah mate everything included stamp duty international order costs insurance courier charge the lot

thats the way to do it unfortunetly it not good for aussie builders but why pay 8g for something thats 2.5g in the states neal chance builds awesome boxes and stalls to suit. Only way to go really

and fresh costing as off today Port charges: 236.50; Customs Clearance: 95.00; Cartage: 95.00; Handling Fee: 45.00 AQIS cost or other additional costs(if Applicable for this shipment) will be charged separately if happens. turns out this charge including sea freight is approx $500 that is with a transmission packed into a plastic container and taken to the nearest port/depo delivery time for me was 20 days + clearance time

does everybody modify the bellhousing to suit rb30 or get a adapor kit from castlemain rod shop or something?

normally you have to machine down the v8 case or use a 6 cylinder case. then use an adapter plate that bolts to the pump and then bolt a jatco bellhousing on to it. i can surply the adapter plate kits (bolts included) for $350 if any one was interested. If using a chev case, its very important that the case must be machined down enough to clear the outer lip of the adapter plate.
