If the above is your car, then my auto is taking a BW EFR quite nicely.

It also looks like those are UK (?) plates, which would make shipping astronomical, I'd wager!
If there's no local knowledge on the gearbox (and there really isn't here either tbh, I got really lucky) it would almost be worth calling around your local performance/drag racing shop and seeing what they can do or whether they are receptive to it.

There's TCU's around for sale that drive auto gearboxes that can (and do!) wire into the factory wheel paddles.
EG: https://www.powertraincontrolsolutions.com/Performance_Aftermarket/Products/Transmission_Products/TCM-2000_Transmission_Controller/
(or the new 2800, I have the 2000, well I'm trying to sell the 2000).

That option however is expensive, because it's what I did and I lucked out on someone who knew the gearboxes. Literally exhausted options and asked someone at work whos partner "is a mechanic and may know someone" just turned out to be an expert in that specific type of thing.

It cost me about $10,000AUD once all was said and done, when you factor in the cost of torque converters, coolers, lines, hoses, sensors, labor of gearbox coming in out in out in out, flex plates (stock one does NOT handle the power), the TCU, the TCU tuning, and all the magic custom work that went into the actual gearbox, and I'm trying to sell it for $3500 so it goes to show that the money doesn't come back to you if you can find someone who will do the overhaul.

I would almost say this is a scenario where selling car and buying something like an Evo X or a Golf R or something that comes with a DCT nowadays is going to be a better car for your needs.

Dude any chance you find out a shipping quote to mainland England uk for transmission the uk is crap for automatics I've tried a few big garages with no joy as of yet I don't need to sell my r34 I have a r35 gtr as my daily running phase 5 ecutek 650bhp so I don't need to use skyline much but the r34 was the dream so it has to be done some how very interested in your box now what does it come with ?
Thanks for help appreciated [emoji1303]

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.

      It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.

      Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!

      Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
