Hey fellas I’ve read through a few posts, re: rd28 auto’s I can’t seem to find anyone that’s actually been successful doing this conversion
. Does anyone know if it’s been done before ? Im on a mission to make it happen, if it hasn’t I will make it happen early next year.

Hey Davos,
Just bear in mind the power loss in driving an auto is the main reason people wouldnt do it. The little motor doesnt need anything robbing power from it...

Nissan did do an auto version of the RD28 but I think it has a bell housing different to all other models so probably not easy to find.

would be interesting to see if the nissan version used the re4 trans or one from the skyline.....

I’ve put a gt2052v of a Audi A6 all road on it, it produces 15 pound at 1500rpm now. Not like the old Garrett that start producing boost at 2300rpm, very different car to drive now 👌 I know there’s a few around Europe that are factory auto’s but I can’t find any info about them.

my list of parts so far

Re401a bell housing from a skyline, will bolt up to rd/rb block and bolt up to re403 in patrol

rd28 flex plate from a laurel auto, from NZ

F1 converter from a factory td gq auto

does anyone know if an oil pump from a re401a will fit into re403 ?

if so do you could use a lot more rb parts converter flex plate etc ?

Have a hunt around some Pathfinder's they had an RE4R01A in them the Skyline bell housing will bolt up to it, the RE4R03A's are nearly twice the size of the 1A's.

RE4R01A

I’ve read that the 01’s a very weak gearbox ? Do you know if the patrol transfer case will bolt on to the 01 ?

I would say not. You would have to use the Pathfinder transfer or even look at the Navara D40 set up.
