You'll care when boxes start becoming harder to find :P

I hate to say it, but an Auto will make life a lot easier on all of it... There is a reason the people have trended to Auto GTRs (more the last few years) - Reliability/Consistency are key. Don't break shit and don't need to service it anywhere near as often.

Blasphemy, a auto R32/3/4 GTR, how dare you, go stand in a corner now. :)

A 2 way in the front? I didn't know you did that man, would've been interesting on decel :D

TBH most of the time, you wouldn't know it's there. But if pushing hard at the track and down shifting aggressively, it would lock up the fronts.

Strong diff. Couple of times i limiter launched it, forgetting it was in RWD, then with foot flat spinning the rears, I flicked the 4wd switch and you just had to hang onto the wheel. Felt brutal. Don't recommend that method.

lol I know it is, believe you me it's almost sacrilegious in my view (if i was a religious person). Give me Japs and H patterns of the 90s any day.

But none the less it will fix his problems, well the problems that are to come perhaps :D

First whats a draggot. Lol i dont want to guess.

I did think about a auto but for a very small moment. If i didnt drive the car on the street i would consider that option. Next it would have to be a power glide wit stally convert. To tell you the truth i know nothing about what i just said. Juat know all the fancy words. Lol:(

But i learn fast. Is there any companies that supply a whole auto kit for it. ??

I dont see 4wd gtr boxes getting hard to find i was offer 6 of them for 2k in miami. Still thinking about that. Lol. Last one i got from them water was in the transfercase. :angry:

But for the price thats not bad. Im just worried about the front diff.

Oil isn't running out yet either, but when it does a lot of things that people take for granted will suddenly become a lot harder. You will see the equivalent with those 6 GTR gearboxes. They are there now at that price because people are not (locally) putting much value on them. But when there are no spares left because people have been treating them as a consumable, then the wailing and gnashing of teeth with begin!

I mentioned going Auto on our GTR build to my son......he didn't talk to me for a week. (maybe a good thing)

Yep, gentler on the drive line and some of the fastest GTR's have gone that way, but for crying out loud, nothing beats banging away on the gears.

Besides, leave the autos to the little girls.

This below is what will happen to you if you go Auto in your GTR.......

      Interesting, I've heard complete opposite on my end. Bit of a lottery I guess.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Getting Dangerously close to being ready to go back in the car. Rockers in with clearance castings now (and a quick check with the USA for the torque settings for the larger custom bolts) Covers and ported FAST Manifold sitting on there. Not fully tightened down as there's some clearancing required for the water pump with the earlier LS1 water pump styles. Example of the clearancing needing to be done: The body has to be ground a little but I'm struggling finding an actual piece of it. The later variant of water pump resolves the issue as the manifold was designed around it. It only came on the VZ LS1 in Australia, it got a different pulley for Gen4 motors. (it also costs $450... vs... $0).

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      Doing some height adjustment on front suspension on a v35 and noticed this. The passenger side looks correct. So wondering what's happened to the drivers side?

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      Oh...I have the electric mirrors as well iirc ...they're in the same state as just about every other R31 door mirrors, with the 3 plastic screw towers broken/cracked in the plastic molding. All the interior is 'dry', so the mirror switches etc likely all work fine. Some pics below of the trimmer pieces ~ looks to me like previous owner, painted chrome finished trims with black paint ...ergo, the chrome underneath is likely a-ok... ...starts to look yukky posting stuff like this, how much did it cost in fuel on your last sortie up this way?...me just thinking aloud, borrow someone else's 4cyl to cut costs, come do your own pick'n'pull like before to save me some bother...hehe.. but whatever, I'll just earmark bits I know you want, because the way this is all panning out, I'll be able to retire the R31 from daily duty at long last, replacing it with a Subaru wagon I'm lining up in the wings...ergo, my attitude towards the donor pinny shell is starting to wane a bit, and I'm more than happy to help you out there... Like you say though, no rush...and I'll guarantee we won't be moving too far from this locale at any rate 😎
