Retrofitting a dual clutch autowunderbox would have to be a fairly significant challenge. I'd go out on a limb and suggest that it would be nigh on impossible to achieve it without considering a complete R35underR32 transplant to get all the systems present and accounted for. Budget - very very large.

So, assuming that you want something better than an H pattern box but can't really afford to spend the $100k or so to put the R35 stuff in, then the most realistic option is that you'd be looking at a Hollinger sequential. And really, it's unlikely you could afford that either.

I have just spent close to 7k on labour and Osgiken 5 speed box, noisy but very tough im not looking to change it anytime soon but its just a question, how can you possibly match the speed on the gear changes that the r35 can do, as thats the main advantage of that car

Well, that's the reason I was saying that it would be a massive exercise verging on the impossible. That whole interaction between the gearbox and engine needs to be replicated, and so you'd need to come up with an engine management solution for the RB that would do what is needed, and have all that fine tuning and development work done that has probably cost Nissan tens of millions of dollars to get right (as of the 2011 R35 release). Tough ask.

of course not but im saying a 650hp rb26dett will be much much driveable with that transmission and alot quicker

A 650hp 26 will never be nicely driveable :P

You've got lag to content with, the R35 simply doesn't.

Gearing is also another factor you'd need to think about. A 35 box is designed around its weight, torque/power range and gearing...

A 2.6ltr will be very different.

Realistically if you want lightning fast shifts you need a hollinger, or a manualised auto or something.

-5 arent that laggy. I feel its easily driveable and i have close to 500hp yeh i know 650hp are probably close to those turbos limits. So what can you do to put a manualised auto? has anyone ever done it? and what makes a hollinger quick shift? My future plan is to convert it to a RB30DETT with the -5's i heard tha its a very nice mix. Another question now im getting off the topic sorry lol But once you convert it to a rb30dett can you bore it out to 31 or 32 getting closer to the 3.8lt r35 :) Plus its much lighter so that should make up for the extra few hundred cc's

lol no i just like response. You'll never get a 2.6l/650hp, responsive.

You'd need to get a massive stroker for that.

What would you say if my T78 RB26 was on full boost (24psi) by about 4000rpm and makes 460rwkw on 98. The car runs 135mph so its making decent power. Thats about 500rpm more than a stock RB26.... or is your idea of response full boost at 3000rpm

Isn't the 35 box at the rear of the car (for better weight distribution) like a transaxle? As far as I can tell everything on the 35 is built for the 35 alone. Oh the headaches.....

Re response- 2.6 RB with low mount twins, 400rwkw on 18psi, on pump fuel, full boost by 4000rpm with enough meaningful boost between 3000-4000 (10psi from 3000rpm) to make a substantial difference, has more power here (3-4000rpm) than stock and therefore actually feels more responsive than stock. (and yes I drove it and a stocker back to back to check). Also runs Motec which made big difference. Everyone's got a preference so...........

Buy an R35?

Im keeping my 94" GTR32 for life! It will be my hobby to experiment. Not worth selling... slowy slowy it will fully customised to my perfection interior exterior and engine. One day i might buy the r35 but till then my gtr 32 is my baby. I just cant get enough of the feel of it. maybe in 20 years when i open he garage and its in 100% condition body will still be 97% Original but the interior will be highly futurised. It might open some eyes when i drive it out on sunday cruises lol. It is not my daily driver and will never be.

If you want to get closer to the 3.8L mark, just move to an FG XR6 motor.

No i aint letting go on of the RB if anything i will build on top of it till it cant take no more then build around it to keep it healthy then garage it and take it out on special outings and cruises. Never selling it!!! i dont look at the car as money its my hobby. I will never be at the point where ill say i need money i need to sell it. Its not money to me.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
