I would like to know what is the different between the auto and manual version of a R33 GTST, as i am looking at getting a auto (got offer a very good deal) and then converting to a manual!

so apart from the gearbox is the diff / gear / computer different?

also do they have differen spec in the engine? or use different computer?

etc, so just anything else that you can think of!

thanks guys .... any help will be very much appreicated!

cheers

Edited by royal

have you tried searching?

I think the ecus are different as the computer has to handle the auto gear changes. not positive on that tho.

then theres the usual interior stuff like gear surrounds, clutch, pedals etc etc

Thanz guys for the input!

SO I would like to know more on the different in the DIFF!!!

is this important/significant in terms of performance/strength???

Do they have the same final drive gear ratio?

Cheers

Where does it say that there is a power difference from auto to manual? I was under the impression that they all have the same flywheel figures regardless.

Nah he's right.. Auto's have 180kW/275Nm

Yep, i've got it in an article somewhere...

sure?

i thought power levels were the same

obviously it would have less at the wheels due to extra drivetrain losses..

i want proof...

well i cant find the articles

i have no reason to lie about it...

the article was all about s1's, probably back when they were still new-ish...auto 180kw, manual (whats a series 1 engine put out? 184-185kw?)

    • Oof. One of my mates has an R34 GT-R that he initially was a "I want to go twins for response and convenience" on his stock 2.6 with Kelford 272 cams, but his friends are pests and were always in his ear about their place being in the bin.   Eventually one of the 2860-5s decided to add it's own input and force his hand, so he conceded and went for a Pulsar 6262G ("G35 900") with T4 0.85 hotside.    Here's an overlay of the results, same cams, same stock bottom end, same boost, same fuel, just from a pretty tidy 2860-5 install to a Pulsar turbo on a 6boost maniifold on BP98.   Worth mentioning here, it may seem like a dead horse thing but the dyno plot doesn't tell the story of how much better it is to drive - transient response has completely changed the car, he used to have flat foot shifting to stop it having to wind up again on gear changes even at >7000rpm... now it builds boost faster than that even short shifting.   It's 100% transformed the car before you even consider how much better it holds on: Pulsar and Garrett aren't the same, but from our experience if you're just looking for a better drive and the ability to make the same or more power I think the divided G30 770 would probably be the smallest I'd go to.
    • Great work Duncan, any events local you will give it a test once all done? 
    • Sweet, yeah hoping stock gears will hold up. May use the transbrake feature on hill climb starts so that will test it.
    • Yeah, the thread is only nearly 20 years old.
    • Been down in Tassie for 2 weeks (a cruise, not a race for once) but spent a little time on her when I got back. I worked out the injector settings in the PowerFC were not correct for nismo 555s, set those to 66% +10ms and added a little air at closed throttle, set the timing (approximately, because it has some weird non 15o cells around idle) and now she starts and idles properly. She purrs like a kitten (ignore the co2 alarm in the background, I did  ) 20250518_171052.mp4 Next step, off for run-in, tuning and alignment!
