Has anyone here carried out a GTS4 auto conversion to GTR.

I am looking at going drag racing this year and am sick of the broken gearboxes that cost an arm an a leg to replace.

1 Is the GTS4 a strong enough box or does anyone know of one that adapts and keeps the 4WD system.

2 Where can i buy the setup IE gearbox loom and ecu

and lastly any problems i might encounter

im keen to know this to as i want an auto in my everyday gtr, its all to hard in peak hour traffic but i dont have it in me to get rid of my gtr so this is the only option,

i would assume the auto has to be "strengthend" but finding and getting someone to do it at the right price will be the hard part,

Sports cars don't have auto transmissions. /rant

If you can't drive a manual in peak hour, then you shouldn't be driving a manual. If Nissan thought the GT-R needed an auto, then I'm sure they would have made it an option.

I would think that if your RB26DETT is trashing transmissions (manual), you will be lucky to make the first 60 feet with a GTS4 auto - it was, after all, only designed to handle a 160kW RB20DET. If you MUST have an auto, I would reckon the box from a Stagea might have the innards to handle a bit of grunt.

Was talking about this the other night with a mate who has a Stag, he was telling me about the manual conversion for stags and from the sounds of that it should be pretty easy to bolt the stag box into a gtr, as mentioned though, need to figure out how to control it.. or get it built and manualised and not worry about ignition cut on shifts :)

I know that Al's Race Glides and MV autos can build Jatco boxes to handle some power....(will run 10's), but not too sure if they have done the Stagea boxes.

Yes, will definitely have to get rid of the electronics and manualise it etc in order for it to handle the huge increase in power.

The GTR box would be stronger than the auto box. So if u are breaking GTR boxes, chances are the auto box wont hold up. You could get someone like MV automatics to strengthen the auto.

Someone on these forums bought the HPI 33 4door with an auto rb26. Think its running 11's. But thats running a strengthened box. Do a search

      Nah, yeah, nah. Speakers have a nominal impedance of 8 ohm that looks more like 6.4 ohm when measured. The receiver's amplifiers (all channels) are all rated to 6 ohm (I think, it's been a long time since I cared). The real problem is that many modern class D amps have aggressive protection circuitry that cuts off the fun if they think too much current is being drawn. And with my speakers having series crossovers, as opposed to more typical parallel crossovers, and big TL enclosures, they can certainly dip down to lower impedances at some frequencies and that easily triggers the protection. Pioneer receivers are somewhat famous for it, but even Denon, Onkyo, et al, all have many complaints against them across various models. It only does it when listening to music at high levels. You have to be putting your ears at risk to do it. But sometimes I want to do that. If I was serious about using it as a listening room I'd simply upgrade the amp for the front pair to a nice Rotel or something, and just use the receiver for signal handling and processing - although that would be a bit of a pain in the arse too. Have to switch on more shit, pre-amp volume vs main amp volume, etc etc.

      How long does it to enter a car on the Register of Approval Vehicles (RAV)?

      By araiko · Posted

      For example, you’ll need this approval if: you’re a car enthusiast looking to import a specialist vehicle or an older car you want to bring your vehicle with you when you move to Australia you manufacture or import special purpose vehicles or a small number of trailers each year.       Tutuapp 9Apps

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By Duncan · Posted

      I reckon you are 100% right on the money. The only reason I bought Red Sport instead of the base VR30 is that I am investigating racing it in Production Cars, and they require you to run a (mostly) standard car....therefore knowing exactly what was in the RS spec was important to me and I paid the extra. Other than that, for sure I would have pocketed the $10k and spent them on mods instead. Plus the non-RS models are more likely to have had a nicer life prior. Just a warning though, mods always cost twice as much as they look like they will on paper BTW you should also consider the 400R imports, they are about the same price as a local RS but 5+ years newer. Of course that comes with the usual warnings about finding parts, unhelpful nissan dealers and finding insurance
