Whats the problem with the auto?

They are just as strong as the manuals, and with a bit of work will always get you down the 1/4 quicker than a manual. I admit the standard autos (even with mods) they are not the best for serious track work, but if manuals are so bad, why have the F1 teams oll gone this way?

The other advantage is that with a properly matched torque converter you can install the biggest lagy turbo (with huge RWKW) and still come on boost quickly.

I dont have any objection to a manual, but I dont understand the rush many people are in to change from the auto.

Any of you guys after side skirts for the R32 4 Door? I've got a pair in good condition primed already and will paint it to gun metal grey if desired. They fit the coupe as well but they look much better on the sedan. I'm looking at around $150 for the pair. PM Me.

Here's mine.

I have the tiptronic auto and I've been out to the track with it. It's great fun and I get the bonus of ease of driving in traffic which in Sydney sucks arse.

My lights are different to the 2 doors as well but I think they are actually better.

i spose the auto would work a bit better with higher static compression & 1/2 a litre more capacity than it would on my little RB20. I guess it comes down to personal choice. I'm an ex country lad who has only ever owned manuals. one day it might change

how much are those impul 4drs worth these days?

if only i could get a 33 4 door gtr................anyone sellin one

That would be nice... They sell for a mint on the extremely rare occassion that they're found by an Aussie importer.

Even better would be an R32 GTB-4 - but only 5 were made AFAIK. They looked just like R324D's car, but with the fat guards on the front AND back, as well as the RB26DETT, of course. Hell, I'd even settle for the Autech R-32 with the atmo RB26DE (still had individual throttle bodies, etc.) Mmmmmmmmm.

BTW, R324D, I'm sure I saw your car a few years back waiting to turn right (North) onto Silverwater Rd a few years back. I 'd just turned left 'cos I was on the way to AutoSalon (maybe two years ago?) and spotted your car wating at the intersection, then I did a double-take when I realised it was a Sedan/4-door/coupe-with-practicality/(insert bodystyle description of choice)...

Nnnniiiiiiiiiicccccceeeee! :(

hmm Danny from Autotrust is also the proud owner of an IMPUL R33R down here in melbourne. Your cars look like long lost twins.

and rjay... dude... woah lots of red... what seats do you have?

    • I have done smoke test and can’t see any leak on high or low side.   checked pump and fluid can flow through. Removed the high pressure from steering and did smoke test and same on low side, no leak.   puzzled. Thinking why if it was all ok it suddenly went as car was off road for a year. Don’t want to disassemble pump yet as i can see fluid / air( compressor) can flow through with no issues
    • Which manifold mate? Meanwhile......Mark is wondering how bonnet vents would look on the NC 🤣
    • Actually,  just remembered there should be info in the threads (somewhere) about swapping to a manual steering rack and deleting power steering all together. 
    • Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open
    • Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.
