Automatic Gtr?

[WOG BOY]

Hi all, have heard along the grape-vine from a mate that he knows someone doin a Auto Conversion on a GTR......

anyway.....got me thinking....im sure i know the answer but couldnt find anything to confirm or disprove my answer.....

So yeah, are there any Auto Transmission GTR's?

[shepo]

im sure that some egg head has done it, not really sure why you would want to.

unless maybe it was a full blown drag car.

Yeah but a full blown drag car would "normally" be 2WD so a non GTR RB26DETT would be the way to go.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

could have one arm... or leg...

[infamous_t]

The new R35 GTR is a clutch-pedal-less manual, dsg box ftw!

[angryghost]

If you want to drive an auto or convert 1, please don't waste a perfectly good GTR. they only built the GTRs in manual for a reason.

but

if you are talking about a four door, that might be a possiblity

[WazR32GTSt]

stagea transmission in a GTR?

possible no doubt, but not factory

would be a nice setup if it had a shift kit and high-stall..

i have a auto in my gtr at the mo, while im saving to rebuild my manual for dog engagement and straight cut teeth.

so we thought why not have some fun, shoved a trans brake on the transmission and still beats manuals around our local race track

and as for full blown drag cars, was the HKS Drag r33 not a full blown drag car, croydon's?

as for the idea of someone stickin an auto in a gtr being a egghead......i wouldnt be so judgemental, a guy in our club has a

auto r34 gtr and has no problem keeping up with the manual skylines.

the autech r32 4door had a rb26de and auto transmission

also, its not a GTR

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

so a non turbo rb 26?

[VB-]

yeah, it was called the skyline26, only RB26DE ever produced AFAIK, very VERY limited umbers too.

i've seen at least one auto GTR, a white R32 drag car. isnt your car is it nizmount?

[NXTIME]

there are a few auto GTR's around, most are drag-spec. There is one in the UAE that runs 8.2. Not a bad idea....for a drag car. Even more interesting for a road car.

[Duncan]

yeah a few auto gtrs even in sydney. my old stagea box ended up in one. If you are serious have a chat to Mark at Hills Motorsport he has done at least 2 of them

[FLY12N]

Only auto GTRs I know of (Besides conversions) was the rare Autech 4 Door GTR.

[sh@un]

great for a drag car

but the thought of a torque converter in a normal GT-R street-car makes me mildly queasy....

[Swiper the Fox]

KEAS are currently developing a transmission based on a GM T400 auto...perfect for drags.

There was a guy on here who was thinking of doing one last year.

He had a good reason too, he was disabled, I think that it's an awesome idea for someone with limited mobility, to experience a GTR without being told you can't have an auto one.

I've seen a guy here in NZ driving a fully modified 600hp+ GTR with dog box, with one arm :S it was scary though

I'm trying to find the youtube vid now

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

want to see!

[WOG BOY]

having tiptronic auto (semi-auot wouldnt be too bad i wouldnt think....?)

but yeah im keen to see that video................
