Ok, I did some searching and maybe I didn't look for the right keywords but I found nothing on it so here goes.
As of right now, I am saving up for a Skyline to be purchased in the states.
I think I will be going for an automatic R34 or R33 GTS-T, since they seem to be alot cheaper than their manual, or even their GTR brethren.
IS IT POSSIBLE...
To perform an RB26DETT swap and still use the stock auto transmission?
If not, are there any performance automatic transmissions that would?
My reasons for keeping the car automatic are this:
1. We drive on the RIGHT side of the road. Being that JDM cars dont have the "visual" advantage on these roads, I don't want to be fumbling around with a manual transmission, get caught up, and wreck something I can't easily replace.
2. I've driven manual cars, however, these are LEFT HAND DRIVE and I wasn't very good with them in the first place. I'd be much more comfortable being a baby and driving an automatic Skyline.
3. If I were to race the car, I wouldn't have to worry about missing/grinding gears during shifts. I currently have a 300 rear wheel horsepower mustang that has a modified automatic transmission in it to handle the power, and I like not having to dilly-dally with gears
.
4. Ironically, where I live in florida, has quite a bit of a slope and tight parking spaces. Having an auto tranny keeps me from worrying about other people's cars.
So again, if this is a repost, I'm sorry and please direct me to the link that I missed.
If not.. any comments, suggestions, links, pictures, etc, would be greatly appreciated.
