It’s about 0430, My friend and I watched a couple argue over who was going to drive, then we left the area where I made this turn near the Jean Shop to go on 58; and out of no-where were a lot of Bosozoku (motorcycle gangs).
One of them was circling the intersection where I was trying to make a turn. Since it did not appear he was going to leave, I waited until I could make the turn safely.
When I made the turn, the cyclist started chasing me with a long pole hitting my car; then several more of these guys started chasing me. I sped up trying to get away, but their lighter vehicles kept up and they kept harassing me.
Me trying not to get hit by them or hitting them, I hit the median, where I was knocked out.

Hope you get back on your wheels, i guess you are a true example of not being able to shake that feeling of high boost!

I'm sure an electronic controlled throttle, throttle body from a newer vehicle could be setup to be twist, lever, just about anything controlled, I believe you could actually use an LSx throttle body for this, and the hardware should easily be available for it to be standalone, as the pedal stuff is commonly used in retrofit applications using LSx engines.
As far as the automatic, while Im not sure if the powerfc may be able to do what you've listed, I do know you can take care of this using a 4L60E and stanalone transmission controller, there are aftermarket standalone TCU's for the 4L60/4L80E transmissions that allow tapshift setups in aftermarket installations, using one of these would allow you pushbutton upshifts/downshifts. You shouldnt have much trouble finding an adapter setup to generally use a TH350/TH400 or powerglide behind virtually any engine you could choose, and the bellhousing flange is the same for the electronic controlled transmissions just the same.
Hopefully this helps with your plans.

He's also planning to drive, so he can probably move something, or he wouldnt be planning this, you have to use SOME sort of mechanism to control the throttle, which he mentioned doing, I didnt specify any exact mechanism, just pointed him towards the hardware that would be very useful no matter the driver actuation method.

Thx for the info Z28.
I was actually thinking of a setup similar to a motorcycle. Instead of a wheel, I use a bar with a twist, so long as the steering is automated & calibrated with a small electric motor. This would leave my other hand to control the brakes and modified e-brake.
So I should have no problem finding a mission for my sr20 then?

I'm sure setting up the ETC throttle body with a twist grip style actuator will be no problem at all, on the transmission, I suggested the newer electronic GM boxes because of the availability of aftermarket standalone controllers for them, which do allow tapshift setups, I dont know of anything available for the nissan auto boxes, and doubt theres something out there, the whole reason there is for the GM stuff is the popularity of different swaps, so the support is there.
Running a 4L60E will be easy, just a bit costly, you'll need an adapter plate and flexplate/flywheel setup, the 4L60E itself, and then a standalone TCU.
Mazworx makes the mount adapter plate and flexplate for you:
SRGM Adapter Plate and Flywheel
Then an electronic controller unit like one of these:
TCI EZ-TCU Electronic Transmission Controller - JEGS
TCI Transmission Control Unit - JEGS
