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.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
