Your plan sucks.

ps. Thanks for not being TOO direct in your answer/opinion(that's me taking the piss now). A simple "maybe not a good idea" or "too costly" would have been sufficient. Edited by MR PHATT

My thoughts are this atm=import clean r34 gtt-auto, mod to the max, if still having issues with trans box by start of 2016 then convert to manual. Any thoughts? I know manual conversion is pain in the a$$, but any one have price estimate?

This is literally the worst idea on the forum in terms of start to finish

I'm going fishing, should I get a manual reel or an auto? And what should I catch?

PHATT you shouldn't ask ppl to help you plan, you should have a plan and then see what is wrong with it.

I'd be more concerned about turbo, IC, computer, dump/exhaust, injectors, pump, brakes, suspension, etc etc...........Theres $10K in that alone.

Your a long way away from maxing out a GTT in manual or auto TBH. Work at the basic things and get them sorted first.

No wonder they are razzing you, its these sort of threads that make their day.

true & thanks

Ok, ok, guys I know I went a bit off track & probably deserve a bit of s$&t stirring at the end, haha. I'm bidding on car later tonight(think manual) & have another in Vic I'm viewing(auto) on w/e. Both gtt. Going back to my original question=I just wanted to know if autos & manuals had similar hp capabilities, yes Ben & Hadouken "Mod to the max" capabilities haha? To help me decide which one

as soon as I posted that last idea I regretted it, was bad idea. Now knowing you have 400rwkw auto, & how much you've spent, I know not good idea at all

It's very easy to poke fun and have a lols at others who are just starting out and asking (what to more ... learned posters) can be silly questions

When the truth is you're likely just enthusiastic and excited and looking starry-eyed into the future of a nice well sorted high HP enjoyable skyline

well, let my jaded, aged eyes be the voice of reason and say OH SHIT SON BUY A f**kING MANUAL.

Better yet, buy someone else's project.

The way you're going about it is all wrong, has nothing to do with auto or manual.

Cheers Kinkstaah. I am excited & realised I am jumping the gun. Was just so happy to sell N/A 34 & jump in to turbo. I understand it's a long (& expensive) road now.Taking all on board, thanks. Ps. Last import looked I had to say no as had a Nismo S tune body kit(did no like front bar) & big ass wing, was disappointed. I am now looking at others projects also.

At least you're selling the N/A and getting a turbo.

Do the smart thing and read read read. There's a clear upgrade path almost everyone follows on a long enough timeline.

Going to that point directly will save you many tens of thousands of dollars and years of labor and pain.

It could be argued that no one would do that/see the value in it until they've already done it the hard way once first though.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
