Has anyone here carried out a GTS4 auto conversion to GTR.

I am looking at going drag racing this year and am sick of the broken gearboxes that cost an arm an a leg to replace.

1 Is the GTS4 a strong enough box or does anyone know of one that adapts and keeps the 4WD system.

2 Where can i buy the setup IE gearbox loom and ecu

and lastly any problems i might encounter

im keen to know this to as i want an auto in my everyday gtr, its all to hard in peak hour traffic but i dont have it in me to get rid of my gtr so this is the only option,

i would assume the auto has to be "strengthend" but finding and getting someone to do it at the right price will be the hard part,

Sports cars don't have auto transmissions. /rant

If you can't drive a manual in peak hour, then you shouldn't be driving a manual. If Nissan thought the GT-R needed an auto, then I'm sure they would have made it an option.

I would think that if your RB26DETT is trashing transmissions (manual), you will be lucky to make the first 60 feet with a GTS4 auto - it was, after all, only designed to handle a 160kW RB20DET. If you MUST have an auto, I would reckon the box from a Stagea might have the innards to handle a bit of grunt.

Was talking about this the other night with a mate who has a Stag, he was telling me about the manual conversion for stags and from the sounds of that it should be pretty easy to bolt the stag box into a gtr, as mentioned though, need to figure out how to control it.. or get it built and manualised and not worry about ignition cut on shifts :)

I know that Al's Race Glides and MV autos can build Jatco boxes to handle some power....(will run 10's), but not too sure if they have done the Stagea boxes.

Yes, will definitely have to get rid of the electronics and manualise it etc in order for it to handle the huge increase in power.

The GTR box would be stronger than the auto box. So if u are breaking GTR boxes, chances are the auto box wont hold up. You could get someone like MV automatics to strengthen the auto.

Someone on these forums bought the HPI 33 4door with an auto rb26. Think its running 11's. But thats running a strengthened box. Do a search

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
