slide it over into manual mode, turn off traction control, foot on break, rev up to 1500-2500 rpms, release break, floor ... takes practice to get a good launch without wheelspin.. i wouldnt do this personally however as it puts too much stress on the drivetrain but thaz generally how i launch n auto, when its not mine :)

lol, sometimes ive still noticed the traction control kicking in even when its disabled, dosent happen much but yeh still kinda annoying.

As far as launching goes, yeh not the best idea....but in my sisters WV R32 the one with the DSG, they actually have this method printed in the manual!, its kinda encouraged by the way they typed it up.

Mate, I think ur clutch is slipping :sick:. When the VDC is disabled, I see no reason for it to kick in randomly...

^+1,hahah, good one!.....'clutch is slipping' but its an auto?...its not all the time just rarely, but its noticeable.

....what i dont like is why the V35 price has dropped so low, i mean you can pick up an 03 auto for around 22!!, this suxs!...its such a beautifully made car it should be starting around late 20's.

But i guess it come down to market demand i mean the supply is there, the demand isnt...sigh the jap car import market just isnt what it used to be., and also awareness. not many people know what kinda car this is.

Yap, that's true..

mines a 70th Anniversary 2004 Auto - got for 25,500 in Jan

comming from a R33 GTST, i know what your thinking and Yes... V35 will probably be next R33....

not that it's bad thing or anything........ Too many IT guys owning R33, so i though its time to change

Sure there will be V35s getting round in the low 20's but most if not all of them are going to be the base model autos, so no leather, no bose, no tv screen "even though it dosent work here it still looks cool" and no dual climate etc not sure about the air bags and ESP

im glad mine came over with most of the options checked including the wood grain lol, but i still thank the previous owner for the full nismo zhust system, nismo 280km dash, and a decent set of 19" rims :yes:

Back on topic...

Install a line locker to the rear brake hydraulics... hit the switch to disconnect...

first gear in manual mode

left foot hard on brake pedal

right foot on accelerator and dial up 2,500 - 3,000 rpm

as the christmas tree lights up

remove left foot and gradually apply more accelerator pedal.

:D

or buy a manual and side step the clutch at 5,000 rpm!

:w00t::w00t:

No responsibility taken on above advice, but it will work a few times!

As for prices falling, I would hate to see them become the new R33... but I think they might.

Hope I can get mine before I am known as "one of those Skyline owners"

:):D :D

      braided lines for the turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.

      Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so no 4cyl clutch... Yeah it is a factory manual. So if iam correct i need clutch and flywheel too? I can use something that suits something like R32 GTST?   EDIT: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224291042776 Is this ok?   EDIT2: i maybe forget to mention this(dk how important it is) but the trans will be behind RB25DET NEO(iam doing swap) It will be there for a little while. Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..

      You're probably right about that one. Thanks for your suggestions, I hope I don't need a new 3rd brake light. Although wiring issues might arguably be worse. Right now I'm in the midst of a turbo removal because of my oil leak, other problems are going to have to wait for now.

      Hell, I know that much. So far I just put it off as "part of the deal".
