looking a buying this GTR and its an auto.

would it be a genune GTR?

If you are referring to R35 GTR then YES, they are all DSG box which looks like 'AUTO', although indeed they are manual gearbox with electronic clutch and paddle shift on steering column.

Correct, Autech made an auto 'GTR' and also an NA RB26 'GTR'. But Nissan did not make an auto GTR from the factory.

Incorrect. Autech made an R33 GT-R sedan (manual only) and the R32 Skyline26, which is a sedan with NA RB26 and auto trans.

The only GT-R with an "auto" is the R35, even that is technically a manual.

If you want auto, buy an Evo 7 GT-A :D

If you dont mind me asking...why? To be honest I think everyone here will agree with me when I say if your on an auto license it will def. be worthwhile to learn and get a manual, also when/if you plan on reselling auto's are a hard sell from what i've heard

Is there a way to go convert manual -> auto? or at least convert it to semi-auto?

I see plenty of people here converting their auto to manual, but is the reverse possible?

Just curious.

In theory it is possible with some control box that initiate the master clutch cylinder when the shifter paddle or button is pressed. There are some products that changes the conventional H shiftgear pattern to an up and down sequential pattern for drag racing applications. With some air pump connected to the clutch system the whole thing can be coordinated to convert the manual box into some kind of a semi auto or DSG style box, without swapping the manual gearbox with a traditional torque converter auto box.

WIth R35 GTR I think Nissan is ambitious to beat Porsche time and decided that a DSG is the best way to go to:

- get the quickest gearshift change as quick as possible regardless of driver's skill (even F1 driver uses paddle shift)

- electronically coordinated gear change protect the gearbox from enormous Horse Power shock in the hands of not so experienced general drivers.

Theoretically - it's called "paying heaps of money to make your car worth less" :)

Far cheaper to get driving lessons...

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
