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.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
