^Ahh, I see why you said what you did andrew, but I was actually trying to take the piss that so many young people "read something on the internet it must be true!"

I actually think that tiptronic auto's are the way to go, anice!

stick to what u believe Lee :)

if tiptronic is the way to go..then why are u driving a manual

btw, how do u launch an auto?...do u rev and brake at the same time? then drop the brake? :blink:

yep that is exactly what you do Andy.

With the stock box and stall converter I can stall my car up to around 2,300rpm - which is just on boost and more than enough for a good launch. But when I get my stall converter upgraded, I will be able to stall to around 2,800 - which in my car is making around 10psi boost and around 100rwkw :D

You would be very surprised at how quick my car is off the line. Can't wait until we finally have a drag strip I can get some numbers on.

I think you rev in nuetral then shift it into low drive? thats how i used to make the traction let go in the old CE Lancer with K&N pod and 2 inch zorst.

That is how you blow a trans :blink:

nah I mate I don't always bite :)

Can't wait until we have a drag strip one day to give you GTR some lessons ROFLMAO :)

I am sure by that time I will own and R34GTR or maybe even an R35GTR :D :thumbsdown:

Another vote for the auto and a shift kit (but I may be a little biased)

For simillar power on a quarter mile it would be a tough call between the GTR and an auto (down to driver skill)

I'd love to have a $ for every GTR i've seen take off at the line and just bog down and do nothing special. When they hook up well they are fantastic, but more often than not I've been disapointed watching the launch.

driver's skill in a straight line? in an automatic? :D

they bog down coz they have a gay-assed clutch that cant handle a 6000-7000 launch

yep I agree with Guy - GTRs are very hard to launch. See how many goes it takes Keir Wilson or John Munro to get their cars down the drag strip. I reckon the good launches would be 1 in 10 - even with their tough clutches/drivelines etc. Of course that is an extreme example, but you get the idea.

Unfortunately Andy, most GTR clutches would fry on the spot with an 8k launch. Few people even try it (I know you are an exception to the rule :D )

Yes I agree with similar power GTR and a well sorted auto would be a tough battle. Remember too that is takes 0.2 seconds to change gears - so having an auto that changes instantly saves you about 0.8 seconds too!

been in some auto turbo cars and some of them go! maybe because of the longer gear ratios, i don't know but i still prefer manual when it comes to twisty turns because the heel toe method feels smoother when downshifting! or maybe i just haven't driven a well sorted auto in the hills

Are they - I didnt know that :):)

u just ruined it...

and launching a gtr at 8k revs doesnt fry ur clutch? unless you have some 500 dollar one than yea mayb but if ur not cheap and get urself a decent clutch u can launch as much as u want it just comes down to how much power ur car is pulling. if ur driving a gtr i wouldnt think you would be getting a cheap clutch anyway lol.. unless ur an idiot lol :P

Autos are very good for launches..

That is how you blow a trans :)

LOL pauly, but not like that :P

      R32gtr sputtering and stalling

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Silly question, as I bet you've checked already, but the motor turns over by hand yes? I suspect Neil has a spare starter, though if not, I believe I have a spare R33 (or two) starter.

      NPboosted manifold fitting purpose

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah just run one of those posts to the Link like GTSBoy said. From google it looks like a "mishimoto boost controller" is a manual boost controller. Since you already have the link just buy any MAC valve and plumb it in where the mishimoto is now. Wires to the solenoid should come from the Link's / standard loom boost control wiring (I guess you have an r32, not sure if it is gtst or gtr, if it is GTR where is a 2 pin connector near the engine bay fuse box/injector resistor for that purpose, assuming the standard boost controller is gone)

      No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.
