What's your budget?

i kinda mentioned earlier-I know it's a bit vague but about 2-3k now, 3-4k in next 2 weeks(after tax) & the rest will be spent over next few months(as I save up a bit). Am planning on holding on to this r34 & making w/e & project car. Have another car

I had considered selling the entire box and transmission setup if the torque converter I am getting built doesn't end up doing what I want the car to do very well

(someone may want it for a different application, i.e drag)

But in all honesty, get the manual

If you would like to me expand on it, you should really, really, really get the manual.

To expand further, the gearbox has cost me closer to 10K to get it to where it is, which is good, but unless the TC from TCE makes it better than a manual (arguable!) you're at least, least, least spending 10K to get to the level where a $0 manual gearbox is at.

get the manual

You have spent more than most with the auto controller etc, but by far the best drivability from any built auto I have driven.

When comparing to the manual box, remember a decent clutch to hold 4-450kw is over 2 grand. And it wouldn't last long at that power without a gearset. You could potentially spend similar coin on the manual setup.

REALLY....10k!!! I don't mind spending 10k on all mods(eventually) but you are right, I can't justify 10k just on the trans box. Sh$&! Manual is fun but I live in Melbourne's North & hard to enjoy due to traffic, stop start of all roundabouts & the speed cameras are everywhere now(I'm not an irresponsible hoon & don't condone it on streets). But just going 2-3 kms over=ticket, points gone-no license. Sorry about essay ha

also Kinkstaah(was it Gregg?), I meant before are you looking to sell entire car?

mmmhhh....interesting Scotty, & thanks so much. I didn't think of that. I wouldn't even mind spending 2-3k more to get high hp Auto r34 going. Like manual, love Auto. now all I need is to win lotto & get dual clutch r35 haha

Nah mate. Seen it with my own 2 eyes. Skidz 4 dayz

WOW, I'm impressed! I've worked with a lot of Auto Shops in Melbourne with marketing & ads & could never find something that high! That's like over 1k hp! Tip my hat. What State?

do you think Auto r34 could ever get close to those numbers?

As stated earlier-recently sold one, am sifting through jap auctions to buy gtt as we speak(also considering Vic market). Sorry, Can't tell, you guys Gtstboy & Ben c34 being sarcastic or genuine?

gtsboy likes deers. and benc34 wants an na 34, so he's asking to gauge whether you'd be interested in selling yours.

Just sold N/A r34-looking for gtt (importing or Vic Market). Have imported b4. I have a couple cars now(not r34). Joined SAU for help from you guys as I stated earlier & in other thread that I know a little bit about cars but not huge expert. I value all your imput(genuine)

    • Unfortunately haven’t taken pics yet after it was finished. All the edges are hemmed nicely, just had to cut holes for the gear shifter and seat bolts and seat belt bolts in the rear. The molds seem like they’re done with steam and a layer of glue on the underside to hold a bit of shape but still soft enough that it’s a good fit when it’s all pressed down.
    • When's the rear mounted turbo kit coming? Needs dose and V8 chop idle lol.
    • I was very unimpressed with how the car came up from the A pillar forward, before I hit things (twice). It all has to go. It had to go, but now it has to go... more. So we finally found the very first Shennanigans with the entirely perfectly setup engine that had no problems being pulled apart to improve on 'was perfectly fine'. Cam bearings looked a bit... stock. Which isn't entirely bad given they were stock and this is a ~20 year old engine. So new cam bearings are on the way because it's somewhat difficult to get to this stage to do it later, and it will trash the block. It was quite unusual that it wasn't done when the perfectly new-looking VCM cam was originally installed by [unknown] What IS unusual is the cam that was installed there was advanced SIX degrees. As to why there is no way to know.. however it could have been @Dose Pipe Sutututu's mate who wanted a larger cam sound but also wanted it to come on earlier to be more usable. This is my dyno sheet with the previous setup - This cam is not supposed to peak until 7000+ RPM, according to VCM. This is what lead me down the whole 'my heads/intake setup is running out of puff and can't support the cam' line of thinking to begin with. Anyway too late now - New cam is in! It could be rather funny if this smaller cam acts like a larger cam because it isn't advanced six degrees. In the spirit of everything is working amazingly - the COMP cam required no dialling in whatsoever. It was about 0.5 degrees advanced, which seems pretty bang on. Any adjustment either way would be further out. I'm told as a chain breaks in it ends up regarding back about 0.5 a degree as the chain breaks in, making it bang on. In the spirit of everything was previously working amazingly - The timing gear that was taken out turned out to be was an N-Motion double timing chain kit, with adjustable cam gear (which is how it was 6 degrees advanced) and all looks entirely perfectly new. It also had a Torrington bearing, which was one of the reasons I ended up getting the Cloyes kit which they used in the C5R 24 hour racecar - Because I couldn't confirm what was in the engine when talking to Tony Mamo. I did believe however it was a Double chain kit of some kind... but found no supporting documentation or evidence for it.
    • I recently did this to my R33 with the full set from Car Mats Direct, they can't do the vinyl anymore that's advertised on the website due to a supplier issue so I ended up with the Black Loop Pile which looks great. I went all out with rubber sound deadening sheets from Repco and also added the sound deadening foam layer option with the carpet. Makes a world of difference and got rid of all the weird smells in the 29 year old interior. It was a bit of work but I'd 100% recommend it, Car Mats Direct had awesome customer service and quick postage. Replaced my seats with some sporty ones from Autotechnia while I was at it, feels like a new car.
