YOU CAN'T BECAUSE THE AUTOMATIC HAS SENSORS THAT IS INPUTS BECAUSE THE TRANSIMISSION IS CONTROLLED BY THE ECU.

If you are running the auto transmission then you need the auto ecu. That I know.

On AWD skylines if there is an auto transmission it is controlled by a seperate control unit. I'm not sure if the GTSt is like that... I don't think it is.

you MUST use the automatic ecu, a 5 speed one will not control the auto transmission.

and FYI you can use a auto ecu with a 5 speed but not the other way around.
