dude, it is a NA auto 4 door. slowest skyline combination possible. Sp23's are pretty quick little cars for a 4 cylinder. the outcome is probably correct.

It seems the N/a seden R34 Auto have lack of power....have anyone out there got the same problem???

I got killed by a Auto Mazda 3 sp23 another day.

Hmmmm.. he's right... You would be doing better if it was the coupe and manul... your 4 door ( weight) and auto ( tricky to use revs to your advantage ) is at a considerable disadvantage.. You can still make it look nice though :D

My r33 GTS is pretty fun to drive around in, ( 2 dr manual )Maybe consider selling your auto and get a manual?

The R34 N/A 4 door is just a simple commuter car (pretty much a commodore of japan)... I wouldn't be expecting blistering performance out of it. The mazda's got better power to wieght than your car.

arnt mazda Sp models all turbo charged i read the mazda 6sp comes 4Wd and 190KW not sure bout the mazda 3 though

no

there are plans for a 2.3L turbo moror (160 kw from memory). MPS 6 (awd), and hopefully, MPS3 (fwd). If they go into production, the MPS3 takes about 4 seconds to go from zero to speeding (100).

The SP23 is an older Mazda3 with extractors and a few other tidbits from the factory. Better grip, too, which was impressive for a passenger few to begin with.

Enjoy the 4 door skyline. Easy to drive (auto), looks good, space for mates. Probably only as fast a bommodore, but thats with alot less cubes.

Hi, you may be able to get a little more power with a better air filter and exhaust mods (extractors & so on) to help you out, but I'm sure if you had had power as the first priority when you bought the car, you would have got a turbo in the first place.

When I had my R32 GTS4 (2L turbo, manual) it felt pretty dam good compared to what I had been driving. Weighing in at around 1450kgs it was par for acceleration as a R32 GTS25 (auto) with the above done to it. SO I think with the extra kgs my car was carrying and the mods he had done they sort of equaled out) .

The best I did to 100km/hr was 7.5 secs with a mate stop watching(not the most accurate but...) with a 4.5 k launch, which is pretty dam slow! factory specs for new were 6.75 secs so age and the fact it was my car (wasn't going to do a 6 or 7k launch) hadn't really slowed the car a lot.

I learnt pretty quickly that I wasn't go to blow people away at the lights and that I had to make use of the cars other abilities - like cornering, braking etc if I wanted to stay in the lead (all on a race track of course).

I would say your R32 2.5 is fairly heavy like my old GTS4 and with only 200cc more than the Mazda you have to expect that it will be hard to get one up on them.

Like the others have said , Enjoy the other aspects of your car, its not all about power. Otherwise you would have a GTR ...

I have an R32 GTS25 and i wouldn't say its slow, but it would get killed by an SP23 easily... I have an R34 GTV auto 4 door coming in from Japan at the moment, and I expect that to be even slower again because of the weight increase...

    • Yeah, thumbsup from me. The distant shot of the bay just looks same-same as before.
    • Dad had a court case drag out with them from 1998 to 2004. He was in a not at fault accident, NRMA were the ones who covered the other person. They tried to blame his neck injuries on the fact he'd had an injury in 1981 on his extreme lower back where he slipped a single disc right near the bottom. Had been all cleared from that injury for years. This accident destroyed his shoulder, and f**ked a heap of discs in his neck, and he still has major problems with it to this day. Sarah's sister while on her L plates had a small Suzuki Alto, she had stopped to give way to an ambulance, and someone changed lanes behind her because there lane was also slowing, and rear ended her at 80km/h. (She had been stopped for a few seconds already too!). Car was completely f**kED. NRMA sent the vehicle around to 3 different workshops as they kept claiming "We believe it can be repaired, and not written off, we just need to find the correct workshop". It took 3 months, and a lot of arguing before they'd concede and wrote it and paid out. About two years later her sister had a Lancer, someone pulled out of a stop sign without stopping (in an 80 zone). Her sister swerved, hit the front of the other persons car (Instead of dead t-boning the drivers door), which ramped her Lancer, and made it roll multiple times down the road. It hit every panel on the way through. Her sister had slid her self out of the car, and remembers the ambos walking to the accident (They'd been sitting at a set of lights just down the road and witnessed it) and they were saying "Well, this ones going to be a fatality, no way you can walk away from that". Well, she did. And then NRMA sent two assessors out to look at the car, both of which wrote it off. They tried to send another assessor out, except a HUGE uproar was raised, and they FINALLY paid it out. That was on a car, that had damage to EVERY panel, you could see from 100m away the whole car was also twisted, roof bowed etc. Nah, we'll try get out of needing to payout on a $10,000 car... Her sister ended up with major shoulder reconstructive surgery being required, and was permanently limited in her ability to do her job as a nurse after that, as she can't (And was told before surgery too this would be guaranteed to happen) regain full strength in that shoulder. However, there was no choice to not have it, as she could barely use her arm, which was her dominant one, and was in near constant major pain. (And she's the type of person that would try and walk off a broken leg!) NRMA did the biggest run around on the personal injury side too for about 18 months, even to the point of trying to put 100% blame of the accident on Sarah's sister, even though the other driver admitted she didn't look, and didn't stop, and was charged by the police. Sarah used to have a Barina insured with them. It was a policy setup, paid all 12 months in advance. At the end of the 12 months, Sarah was living with me, I reviewed the renewal, it clearly stated "If you do nothing, your policy will cease on XYZ date". We did nothing, as we moved her insurance in with all of mine and I was with Shannons. We find out 10 months later, NRMA decided, because he DAD had a car insurance policy at the same address as what Sarah's mailing address was (Garaged address had been changed), that they'd put Sarah's (What should have been non existent policy) onto her Dad's month to month charges on his credit card. We had to jump through hoops, to get a refund. They didn't care that we actually found the letter that said "If you do nothing, your policy will cease" they made us prove we had NON COMPULSORY insurance else where before they'd issue the refund, and after they agreed to the refund, it still took another 6 weeks and 3 more phone calls for them to actually process it. They also had two insurance claims from storm damage, and they were an absolute cluster to get resolved as well (one vehicle, one house). Some how, up until about 3 years ago, her parents were still loyal to NRMA too, and we were like "How the hell are you so loyal to staying with them, when other places are so much cheaper, and they've f**ked you over every time you've ever had to make a claim?"
    • I got the four AN10 fitting welded up to the cam covers and started up making the head to sump breather/drain lines. The front passenger side cover I used a 45 up top and a 90 at the bottom into the stock VCT head drain spot (3/4" BPST to AN10 adapter) thats unused on the RB25DET NEO with some speedflow flame shield to protect it from the manifolds heat.   back passenger side was a 90 up top with some flame shield and 45 at the sump end. The rear drivers is 45 at both ends   the front drivers fitting is capped off for now but ready to go if i want to try moving the breathers around. I was told by the fabricator to leave all the welds raw for now to make sure there are no pin hole leaks. A lot of cleaning up, re bundling looms and degreasing to go as well as final assembly on the cam cover baffles. The first real test will be 28th March at a Circuit event. added complexity and more spots for leaks but overall looks relatively neat imo
    • Yeah i think the dash needs to come out. To get the loom or maybe just climate control and radio cluster. My mirrors are done i think the motors don’t work so well after flood haha i need the ac fan, you said you wanted to keep it for your 31 and interior loom not including boot. The wiper motor. I’m not sure how good the window surrounds are on the exterior on the pintara.  I will message you to get your bank details shortly 
    • Just another barrier put up to stop cars being modified. When we're all driving Chinese sewing machines, you won't want to modify it anyway, and you'll likely already have slashed your wrists and be locked up in a padded room for your own protection.
