Ok guys im pretty keen on getting an R34 n/a for the missus. I wanna get a manual but its looking like i have to get an auto simply coz there's more out there and the manual is heeeeaps more.

How do the auto 34's go? Are they alrite cruisers? I drove a couple and it seemed ok, but maybe after a few months it would give ya the shits????

Also,

The guy importing it can put me onto a workshop that can convert it to manual for a couple grand. Would it be worth it? He rekons u dont need to change the computer and its pretty much a straight swap.

All opinions welcome....

EDIT: One last thing, i have a 3inch cat back zorst that was from me old 33 GTS-t, would that fit on the 34?

Expect a drop of up to 10rwkw.. on the road it translates to nothing really, as the kick back to 3rd is pretty quick (fourth is really just a stall convertor). You'll make up the difference with an exhaust easily.

Yeah the R34 Tiptronics arent that bad to tell you the truth, ive been in a 2Dr Tippo and they hammer aswell.

In regards to the conversion, sorry man wouldnt have a clue.. Ask the guys in the Drivetrain and Transmission side :)

Can i put 91 petrol in it seeing as its n/a?

No, you're not meant to. 95 octane is the minimum recommended fuel for your car (and most imports). My previous car had a head gasket issue, that I suspect was caused by running it on regular unleaded for an extended period of time.

My GTT in its stock form was a bag of fun, this was coming from driving a 2.8L 5 Series BMW... The auto was quite easy to "tolerate" but I would highly recommend the gearbox overhaul from MV Automatics (about $3K-$4K for the whole works)

My latest conversion has come together very nicely... lots of R&D and once off parts required but it was worth it; RB2630 - never looking back now!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.

      As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers.

      Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
