There is a limited auto selection that can been used for auto conversions in GTR's, the easiest conversion is using the auto from a Stagea 4WD but you wont get 5-6 gears.

From there upwards in power capacity there are stronger auto transmissions however expect even less gears.

The biggest cost is taking a auto and adapting it to take the GTR transfer case and bolt straight on, not a cheap exercise.

Your better off getting a built Stagea 4WD auto as most of it just bolts straight up, reducing the amount of engineering involved to make it work.

i assume your talking about the M35 transmission? how much power would that be able to handle roughly

WC34 (WGNC34 as Kiwirs4t pointed out), they ran the 2.5L straight 6, bolts straight to the rear of a RB26....obviously you will need the RS Four 4wd transmission to remain 4WD.

The M35 models got a V6 and it wont bolt up from my understanding.

I wouldn't think the M35 trans bolts up - he would be talking about the WGNC34 trans.

Frankly I would give the R32 a miss and look for a small auto performance car.

thanks for the help man much appreciated ill do some research

Kiwirs4t whys that man i know a lot of people are disappointed to see a auto GTR but I've always wanted to own one so i figure why not :)

That is trick but the box alone is $15k-$30k plus the padel air shift unit

c34 4wd stadea box would be the most cost effective way to do it

Then there is a company in sydney that make a T350-T400 auto adaptor kit to suit the GTR but these are really a race application setup

I don't have an objection to an auto GTR (I know some people do) but its more that you will need to go to a lot of trouble and expense to get an auto that will hold a lot of power. Also when you go to sell it after getting bored with being out-dragged at the lights by Honda Civics (unless you stall it up and do a full noise launch which can get a bit tiresome/embarrassing) you won't get your money back.

Yeah I agree, the stagea box will be fine unless you are putting out some serious numbers, it will be by far the easiest option to fit and wire up.

And I reckon, if you want a GTR and you need an auto, go for it! It's your damn car, do what you like

I would think the stag box would be plenty strong enough for a stock 32 GTR for cruising duties

Obviously if he wanted to race the car it would need something stronger like the TH350-400 or even 700 might be enough once built

Well the OP did say 400-500Hp, the stag box built should be good to a reliable 450 (abused) from what ive read about them.

If he wants more power than that, then open the cheque book and look at the T400 option for reliability.

It really does come down to his need due to his disability and his power goal.....everyone should have the right to do what they want to their car.

If he is concerned about reliability, dont constantly rape the car racing everyone.......lots of people out there running lots of power on stock manuals but they dont clutch dump and bang the gear shifts, avoiding the need to buy a OS88.

The biggest issue you'll face is that the auto is controlled by the ecu. You could run the 26 off the 25 ecu with either an SAFC to put 2 afm signals into 1 or a selin dual maf translator kit. There is some jiggery pokery to get the tps and iac to work correctly on the 26 using the 25 computer.

The up side is that series 1 auto stageas go for next to nothing for one that has a ratty body.

You could even set the auto up on an aftermarket controller, but I'm uncertain on cost.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By DatsunBanana · Posted

      Thanks everyone for the replies and suggestions. Got the seats out (hoping I could find some existing grommets but no such luck). By tapping and measuring etc. I could figure out where I could drill through if needed. But first I borrowed an inspection camera and managed to go through factory holes in the chassis rail and could see that the captive nut was holding steady which is why it could retighten. So it was indeed a stripped section of thread, so I applied downforce by levering the bolt head with a screwdriver and went slowly back and forth until it came out. Camera helped a lot cos I could monitor that the captive nut was holding tight. Now I just have one very seized main subframe nut to tackle 😅

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      BOVs do have a purpose, if you ever log pressure before and after the throttle body, you will see a spike pre throttle on lift off from a WOT condition. Enough to bend throttle blades / damage e-throttle motors or simple assist in blowing off cooler pipes. FWIW, the above on really applies to those running at least 2 bar of boost. OP shouldn't have an issue, on the other hand, here are some videos of my shit box over a decade ago with some succulent dose with the airbox on and off. That shit box is unrecognisable these days 🫠

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Yeetus · Posted

      I've tried all different combinations of BOVs/ no BOV and stock bypass valves over the years, on gear changes the stock bypass valve seems to get the car back on boost quicker because in part the turbos wheel speed isn't being slowed down by reversion, although they have issues holding boost much over the stock setting. Most aftermarket BOVs you can adjust the spring, tighter will make it open later and close sooner, but in my experience it'll cause a bit of flutter at low load/rpm anyway. I've also got some input into this whole no bov causing turbo wear, never had an issue on any on my turbos HOWEVER, I got my R33 GTST with 200k kms on it, with from what I can see still has the original turbo, no lateral shaft play but has about 4-5mm of play in and out which to me seems like a worn thrust bearing from years (100-150k kms?) of turbo flutter running no bov, so maybe there is some truth to it in the long run. But that'll never stop me loving the Stutututu while I have the car.   OP just wants to know if he can run a atmo vented BOV with no major issues and the answer is YES, plenty of people do it, there's no harm in installing it and seeing how it runs before spending $$$ on an aftermarket ecu, last time I bought a Nistune it was $2400 for install and a tune , unsure of todays prices but you get me. Crazy money to spend just to fix the minor inconvenience of stalling that can be overcome by letting the revs come down to near idle before putting the clutch in or a little bit of throttle to avoid it. You're better off leaving the ecu and tune for after a bigger turbo/injectors have been installed to take full advantage of the tune and get your moneys worth.   Let OP have his Whoosh sound without trying to break his bank haha

      I see you missed the rest of the conversation where they have benefits, but nothing to do with avoiding breaking turbos, which is what the aftermarket BOV made all the fan boys, tuners, and modders believe was the only purpose for them...

      But they do so for the other reasons to have a compressor bypass. It's in the name.
