That would be a nope

so where you just messing with me before with 12k hp gtt? I've been Skyline man since my P's-so because I'm between skylines at the moment does that mean I should get off SAU? I'm trying to get help from you guys & decide wether to go manual or auto, is that a crime???

I'm importing r34 gtt to chase hp-will be w/e car & MAYBE try at drags once or twice, see what happens

get a manual. The auto is fine 90% of the time for a daily but there are times it can be a pain in the ass. and being a w/e you shouldn't buy an auto.

The lag from the converter, the sometimes non existent power, the flair on gear changes if it's not tuned and even after it's tuned if you want and make more power it will start to flair again until you do the welsh plug mod, then again when you make more power.

If you're thinking about doing some local twisties because you didn't mention the track, the awd auto is great depending on the road. Tight corners where you can stay in second is fine but anything over that speed you will only have the overdrive button to lock gears. Being rwd with power, if you want more power mid corner and it kicks down mid corner you may find yourself in trouble. The awd is much easier to control when this happens, otherwise you will have to find the happy medium with throttle position. I don't do many hill runs, but when i have i found the auto great being awd and easy to control and to get the most power all the time, i couldn't imagine it with a rwd.

thanks so much Trex, much appreciated. Gives me a bit to think about. Will not be doing twisties, just w/e & may try luck at q/m. I didn't think awd came in gtt(excuse my ignorance)-I thought only N/A gt4 or gtr(which in r34 out of my budget)?

i have a stagea. so awd auto.

i have a stagea. so awd auto.

ohh that was my next q, thought might be Stagea. The only issues I have with manual are that I live in Melbourne's North, lot of traffick, stop start(roundabouts etc) & tons of new speed cameras-I only have 1 or 2 points left. Not promoting hooning. Even our freeways suck b$&))! Because a lot have recently been dropped from 100 to 80- even 70 kms & new cameras been put up to reinforce this. But will still consider manul

thanks Cowboy1600, I am newbie here so appreciate it. I've also gone over some threads & saw that Hadouken just loves taking the piss(especially from newbies). It's ok, I think he just needs a hug haha

honestly, if you saw him a hug would be the last thing you'd want to do. :wub:

keep reading mate, it's the only way you'll learn and not get taken advantage. Most, if not all have been taken advantage of when changing platforms and learning new things. Keep reading and get a fair understanding on what is going on and how to achieve your goals before importing the car.

So you don't have a car, but will get 2 g tax return soon then shoot for max hp?

no, I have 2 cars atm(Commodore & VRX) & in process of buying r34 gtt(importing) & have 3k(seperate for r34 budget) & expecting another 3-4k with tax return. So 6-7k just for modding

haha will do chief, thanks.

Oh cool. Well that's the trans sorted.

Then you are left with a stock car with a sweet as trans.

so trans will cost 6-7k to build? Earlier in thread someone said 2-3k for trans but then Kinkstaa said he spent 10k. Can I not get built for 2-3k?

    • 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.
