Superior 8HP to GTR kit

Upgrade your Skyline GTR with the ultimate drivetrain package: a complete GTR chassis kit, paired with an HPR-prepped 8HP transmission of your choice. With precision machining and essential external components—like the billet bellhousing—pre-installed, installation is straightforward: simply bolt on your transfer case and install the transmission as a single unit.

At the heart of the kit is HPR’s billet bellhousing and flexplate—the crown jewel of the Superior Kit—ingeniously merging the 8HP centerplate into a singular unit.
Developed in-house at HPR, utilizing cutting-edge metrology-grade 3D scanners and Geomagic Design X software, the Superior Kit sets a new standard in transmission upgrades. The components ensure a premium feel and an unmatched driving experience for Skyline GTR enthusiasts.

 

Advantages of the Superior Kit for your Skyline GTR:

• No chassis modifications required for all Skyline GTR models.
• No cutting needed in the bellhousing to fit starter or front propshaft.
• Matches the built length of the 6-speed Getrag found in the R34 GTR.
• No custom front propshaft necessary (spacer kit supplied for R32/33 users; R34 direct fit).
• Includes a billet steel flexplate for added durability.
• 100% bolt in with stock propshafts for R34GTR

Note on Transfer Case Oil Pump Gear Size:
Our oil pump covers are supplied to suit the standard 5.5 mm thickness gear. Some early 1989–1990 GTR models were fitted with a 7 mm oil pump drive. If you own an early model, we recommend checking the thickness of your gear before placing an order.

If you confirm your gear size with us before your order ships, we can supply the correct cover at no extra cost. If you’ve already purchased a kit with a 5.5 mm cover but require the 7 mm version, we can provide it separately at cost price.
