The usual stuff done to toughen an auto gearbag. Better clutches and such, changes to the valvebody.
You could probably ask them to source you one from a local wrecker and doctor it then send to you. It's gunna cost you some extra coins for their effort, but probably worth it to not have to try to source one yourself by remote. Don't just e-mail them either. Call them in the new year, (say after the 8th) in their morning - which would likely be early evening for you if you're on the east coast, or late afternoon if you're further west. Indicate that you sent them an e-mail on the subject and that you're fairly serious. You'll get ignored less than the usual "random e-mail from dream on other side of world" treatment I'm sure they've learned.
very fair.. ill do just that

Tranny needs to spend time in their workshop in order to benefit. It's not just "remove original valve body" and "plug in magic valve body".
I figured as much. I'm honestly trying to find out if they can build one and send it out. Or, being I work in a shop in the states, send the parts and we can manage to do the modifications.
Whats entailed if you know?

Hey guys so I need a bit of help.
i read a thread on here about a shop called MV Autos over there in Australia that does a pretty awesome modification to the automatic trans in the r32's.
Seemingly, it requires the car to be shifted manually and there is a shifter kit to go along with this?
any info would be great!! Please and thank you!
i reached out to MV auto but no response. Are they the only shop that does this?
I have a specific reason for wanting this vs a manual gearbox
she arrives stateside this Friday and I'm dying to get going right away with the modifications.

Obviously the R32 engine has small differences from the R33 - no VCT for a start.
Yes you can swap the diff centres - make sure you get a mechanical LSD .... the viscous ones are a waste of space. Look down in the transmission section for threads on this.
How to tune? Best option = manual conversion!
Next best is a Nistune chip for the stock ecu - research and you will find.
Otherwise you can piggyback virtually any ECU on to the stock set up.
Unfortunately, a wheelchair is hindering me from a manual swap otherwise I'd have just bought a gtr! Haha.
So the guys importing it and doing the work, they've worked on plenty with manuals just not as much modding of autos.
They said while they have put a haltech on an auto, it doesn't allow the trans to work smoothly or do its shifting patterns normally.
Solutions? Or is fully manualizing the trans with manual valve bodies, etc the only way to make a haltech style unit work?

Great info!!
Cant wait to see what she looks like!
Would it look extra weird with gtr front fenders but the stock quarters? Are the gtr fronts significantly wider or just enough to accommodate some bigger rubber?
i come from Audi, so wide bodied cars are much different than standard

Hey Welcome to SAU!
I have no idea about the answers to your auto questions, but with regards to the GTR bumper fitting on the GTS, it will fit, however where the bumper meets the guards/wings it will bulge out a little bit, this is due to the GTR guards/wings being wider than the GTS items.
You will also have to trim down the front reinforcing bar as the GTR bumper has a bigger mouth so to speak.
You can buy an aftermarket fibreglass copy that is the same width as a GTS item though, this is the route i have gone down until i can afford a genuine GTR bumper Guards and Reo Bar.
Looking forward to updates, and make sure you start a build thread!
Absolutely will start a thread. She arrives in December sometime.
For your rep version, how's the fitment/quality? Where'd ya get it?
do the wings or fenders swap right over or does it get funky where it meets the side skirt?

New to the #nissangang from Washington! Couple ?'s
Hello all, the names Mike!
im taking the plunge and having a fresh, 46xxx mile '92 gts25 sedan brought over seas for me.
Theres a few things id like to have clarified as I've done a fair bit of searching and either find vague answers, deleted posts, or opposing answers.
First off, the rb25 and re5r that is coming in my car, same engine trans as the r33 or an earlier rendition of the two?
is it possible to do a simple r33 lsd swap into the 32 assuming the trans is the same?
I've also come across a couple threads of some seriously modified auto's to handle massive power. Will a stock trans with an upgraded converter hold on to 300 or so whp?
What does everyone do about tuning when having an auto? I assume in these the ecu/TCU are one unit? Guessing that kills the possibility of using a haltech or some standalone?
last Q! Yes or no, the gtr front bumper fits right up? I've seen both yes and no answers. Some say you need the fenders others say it fits right on the gts.

Thanks for the info! I did come across the kmak stuff. I'm just worried about fiberglass as I do tend to go harder on the cars but I'll give them a shout!
it does have gold badging (on sides at least). I assume it will all around as it's a one owner low miles car. I have yet to see it in person yet!
I'll probably hold on to them for now. I will eventually change the hood so maybe that can be parted withh.
Whats up with the gold badging anyways??
