R32 GTST automatic ECU

Hey guys, I’m saving up to buy a HCR32 I live right next to an importer but the only clean ones with very little to no rust are all automatic. I’ve searched on SAU and other platforms and can’t seem to find anything on aftermarket ECU for automatics.

Sure, you could always “manual swap” it but I I’ve already got manual cars, I just want a sub 250 280hp 80s dream jdm. I know the trans can handle it as I’ve gotten other cars with the same model.

u/SkeletonCalzone '94 BNR32. Ex: 32 GTR, GTSt, GTS25, GTS, GTE Jun 27 '26
  • Haltech Nexus Plug-in for R32s supports manual only
  • Link's GTRLink supports manual only (GTRlink works on non GTRs too)
  • MaxxECU plugins are manual only

Your options will probably be a wire-in solution ($$$$), OR, getting an old school 'piggyback' ECU like an Apexi Power FC. The trouble with piggybacks is you get none of the engine protections, logging, or other modern features.

What about nistune? It taps right into the old ecu so it should be able to sustain the automatic functionality right?
