For a trans I'd recommend a 93-97 F-body Borg Warner T56 6 speed. The 4 speed is out dated and will severely limit your street-ability (4th gear is 1:1 so you'd have crazy RPMs on the hiway) it's also not a top loader style trans so the linkage will be a hassle to say the least, and the T5 5 speed that came in the 3rd gens wont hold any reasonable amount of power without it's internals becoming external. You can usually score a t56 for about 7-800ish in good shape if you hunt around, and it's proven to be a strong and reliable trans at the power levels you're looking at.

I find it interesting how you come to a Skyline forum searching for approvals and advice. Then you try to tell the people in the community that its a RB2.0. So then I guess I must have a RB2.6DETT and be building a RB3.0DET. I guess Mercedes must have missed the . when they named the E55.
You have an interesting project and you will have allot of people who respect the project you will also have a bunch of haters. To me the combo is boring. But I can respect the project because of the work that will go into it. Especially if the execution is well done and not hacked.
What would turn the car into a killer is 4wd. Buy mcflys trans adapter for the t-case that he had built for a turbo 400. build an adapter for a GTR pan, dry sump.
For the record its and RB20You can't fix stupid.

vdub: I would actually really like to put a 2 speed power glide with a "minor" stall. that would make me happy. Speeddm: I didnt mean it to sound that way, all I was trying to say is thats how i type it. I myself dont find it boring hahaha just knowing that it boils some peoples blood is good enough for me! 4wd is a totally diffrent project!!!

That setup will not make enough power to utilize a powerglide, are you only planning to drag race? Because having a 2 speed in a street car sucks anyway if you plan to drive the thing anywhere. If you're hellbent on a auto trans then you should at the minimum use a TH350, personally I'd use a slightly built version of the 700r4 the motor came with so you can have overdrive for the street...
