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!

Yes it can be done and has many times.

And plenty strong enough.

I got a quote of about $5500 for a modified RE4R03A. But there are a few TH400 and powerglides being built

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.

    • Nismo 300km/h speedo for R33 gtst in GTR cluster.
    • Has anybody had their wheels refurbished? I reckon it's likely bloody expensive. Even a sand blasting quote for my 17s was 200-300 per wheel! The E39 wheels are basic BMW M Sport (or M Tech at the time.) they have slight rash and some have signs of bad repair in the past on the lips. The main issue is that they've become really off coloured.  I think it will be too much as this is definitely (supposed to be) a budget resto. I've been looking at others for sale but they all have some minor damage and colour issues.  In the end I think I'll just need to sand blast them myself and do a respray.  
    • Trying to figure out which nismo cluster i have. All the ones i see on the internet, the speedo goes up to 320kph and the revs 11k, with the nismo logo being on the rev gauge only. But on my one, the speedo goes up to 300 and says nismo, while the revs only go upto 10k and no nismo logo Dunno how to embed pics into a post so ill attach pic of my cluster and generic google search for reference Is what i have genuine?
    • how does one remove the needles from the gauge cluster on a R34 GTT?
    • Furthermore, to obtain the correct torque value using a torque wrench, use this sort of tool rather than trying to just slip a spanner on there and hoping for the best https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/134997056922?_skw=tie+rod+tool&itmmeta=01JV4F9X0JG2T790PDTYY5XA5C&hash=item1f6e739d9a:g:l1cAAOSw8Q5mBSWf&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA4FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1ehLELIotiBW9ttZY4Avbcw7tIQoAebP9lUKZOfgmr%2FvoyKD0w%2FsryPVoxqpduETEeCq2mpbl1NI5I3OLvNCAR7gYTcWcqn5OW87VWEC3PzWCZel4jW%2FwOjhWx636ZkbVuSY5aaNvIRyIK1rPuGVwUPrsAavS0EEnbtTxkbvwU%2BaS5UeTfkeweMKaNZyIX2ex3QWq7aFVvNsnVwH%2BohFZ09zyW1qu8sjMo6%2F5D5xIDwkMugxXJiBjl4XN2otrl6Q8CGqp6yPZ2eEG5biaKo1p31|tkp%3ABFBMxtCnj9ll
