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.

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

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.

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.

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

      Manual Shifter slightly bounces/moves/vibrates when accelerating/deaccelerating

      Congratulations on your find  Did you mean it has 6k miles or was that a typo? Firstly, keep in mind some movement of the shifter is normal...it is a long rod hanging out of a box bolted to the engine. Having said that there are 2 next places to look: 1. Transmission and engine mounts. If these are worn or broken the shifter will move around more. They are reasonably easy to source and replace on a hoist, and possible but uncomfortable to replace car stands 2. On the bottom of the shifter there is a nylon cup that sits over shifter's ball end. If this is worn or broken the shifter will move around more than it should (but will still shift OK). That is a cheap part and requires removal of centre console, rubber shifter hole covers and a circlip in the gearbox shifter hole to remove the shifter. Re maintenance, as with any new import you should change all the fluids including transmission when you get it; never trust the seller and previous owners to have done the right thing. I am pretty sure R34 GTT is the same as earlier big box transmissions, so use any good quality GL4 75w90 trans fluid if it is shifting well (if it is hard to shift due to synchro wear, redline shockproof lightweight will keep it alive a bit longer before rebuild is required)

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      Well considering I have the exact same problem with that as the original one I don't think that the ignitor is the problem. I would imagine that this being such an uncommon problem the possibility of getting a new ignitor that is bad in the same way as the old one has to be very slim. I'll definitely pull everything apart this weekend and check the turbo out. Got quite a bit of things to check out Saturday like fuel pressure and the pcv so I'll report back once I do that.  Thanks everyone for all the replies this is all really helpful

      Rb's have issues with bottom end starvation, not head starvation. Which either way, you probably wouldn't ever see on a dyno. Strange... What's pump gas for you? Octane rating?
