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.

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG is has not responded to my emails so far after purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
