Hi i was wondering if anyone here knows of, or has seen an automatic GTR?

as i have recently sustained a spinal cord injury and as a result i am unable to drive Manual :-(

I was looking at buying a R34 GTR before my accident but now im questioning weather it is still worth it?

if any one could help me with this, i would be greatly apreciated

where are you located. if your REALLY want to spend the cash and money, alot of Auto Trans joints should be able to do a conversion strong enough to handle..

I know my Trans joint mechanic has built his 33GTR to have a clutch with an automatic shifting box. its pretty frickin sweet. He is able to launch the car, and change gears as quick as the shift kit will allow

RVO Automatics is Dandenong Victoria!

Hi mate,

Sorry to hear of your injuries. However, although not many, there are indeed some pluses of having an automatic GTR.

A mate of mine built his stock GTS4 into a GTR, spent a lot of money his automatic GTR runs through gears really quick and shifts fast...tough too...it's a good mix of luxury and sports.

Let me know how you go.

Cheers.

Maybe an auto from an R34 GTt or C34 Stagea Turbo might be the go. It has tiptronic mode too. But you will need a non-turbo TCU to control the shifting.

Best of my knowledge automatic turbo skylines/stagea have their TCU+ECU in one unit, where as the non-turbo models have the ECU and TCU as separate units.

Failing that you may need to go for a fully aftermarket ECU/TCU combo.

I think there was a guy on these forums by the name SATANIC, he had an RB26/30 coupled to an auto, might be worth a look as a start.

      Elevated lead levels in oil - Engine on borrowed time?

      By PranK · Posted

      I had a thought. I still haven't confirmed what additive was used but, the oil from this analysis was only 5,000 k's old and I believe was Mobil 1. Given that the oil was good and fresh, would there still be wear in the engine? What I'm trying to articulate is, I understand that internal wear will happen with incorrect viscosity or not changing oil enough (and maybe other reasons also). But would the wear continue to occur when the oil is changed? Surely it would stop wearing, ie the damage was done? If thats the case, could this suggest maybe that the lead count is not wear? I dont know if that makes sense. It does in my head.

      98 ER34 GTT idle races, if AAC is unplugged, then idles perfect

      Sure, but personally I'm a big fan of when you have a problem, don't make it harder to diagnose by changing more variables all at once.

      I recall you're going to launch the OEM ECU into the bin in another post, unpopular opinion but throw the AAC, IACV, cable throttle & pedal all into the bin and convert to DBW e-throttle & pedal. For quick install (minimum fab work) these guys have a great bit of kit: https://outsidergarage.com/products/nissan-rb25-oem-dbw-conversion-kit Hit up @outsidergarage for more details.

      RB20 R32 Overheating

      By 32_love · Posted

      We let the engine warm up as much as it could while stationary and with the head check plugged into the open radiator but I see you're point that it would be difficult to get it to the point where it begins to overheat. The overheating issue only began after the initial problem with the empty radiator. Until then I had driven the car almost daily without any issues (with the gktech fan etc.) I'm beginning to suspect butters may be right and that it's a head gasket issue, just difficult to find the time to work on the car lately. And whether or not it's even worth doing the head gasket etc. on the 20 when I am, extremely slowly, building a 25 for this car.
