This is true but you get used to it. If it's a factory or forgiving clutch, then you'll be right. No fun to be had in autos really. Autos are designed to be more efficient and economical. I know that in mine, if I'm in D, the car isn't willing to stay about 2.5k rpm even when I'm hammering it. Eg: going around a corner pretty hard, you lift and the revs drop right down as it will automatically select the most economical gear. Whereas in tip, the TCU switches to sports mode and allows a lot more free revving. Don't know if the older manuals had this option. Also, if it isn't tip, how are you going to chose the right gear? If you're in traffic and want to give it a bootful around someone at 60kmph, the box will have you in 4th and you won't have the torque there. Just saying, that if you plan on building the car in the future, get as many things right now as possible as parts cost cash. You could be paying up to $1k for a decent RB25 manual box whereas buying a manual now may only cost an additional $300-$500. f**k with it, learn to drive it, destroy the clutch and replace it. You'll still be better off financially. Don't get me wrong. Autos are great but if you want performance, it should be a manual or a very smart auto box.

If that's the case, then why not get an R32 and upgrade to a RB25 when you're ready? Lighter, prettier (in my opinion) and a 2L NA won't chew through fuel like a 2.5L NA would. If you are set on getting a R33 NA, then make sure that it is 100% straight and manual. That way, you can flog the box (lol!) and it will take a beating. Will also teach you how the car moves and then you can put the head on a 30 and boost it - which is not as easy as it sounds but anyway.

Are you particular about getting a custom one? Why not a Fujitsubo, Kakimoto or HKS one? You can get them from a number of places in Japan and install yourself or get a shop to do so.

Alternatively, V35! You'd have to go for the 3l though.

Have to be careful as the NAs run a higher comp ratio. Can be done with a smaller turbo which would make for decent power and torque of boost and then fun on boost. Even aT25 would do the job efficiently. Alternatively, using a 25NA head on a 30 bottom end. Would give a higher comp ratio and still take a fair whack of boost.

Was considering doing my MBA, then decided that I'll just do the AICD course when eligible.

Schweet! Thought as much. Didn't think that there would be a lot of r34 GTR groups in Brisbane.

Had a mate who did it with skittles. He was anal and would separate the colours and then he'd have a few bottles of vodka all in different colours. Bishes loved it.

Morning all.

How are you going to drive this thing Cowdy?

Pt6266.

Funny you say that. I've been eyeing off the highland park but saw it for 150 at dm. Wrong one?

Welcome to Corporate Australia.

Should also state that I have yet to find a 10/10 whisky or cognac

Description: Yummy! Out of 10: Price: 8 Quality: 7 Value for money 9/10 It's really good considering that it's only $70! The problem that I''ve had with it is that I haven't had a proper sit down tasting. Been rushed every time.

Buy Ben's 31. More 31 love!

Are you buying Benno's?

Loan

Noy mentioned that he will try and grab a few of the R34 guys as well. Should be a great turnout!

Great advice however, ERD doesn't exist anymore and the majority of members wouldn't use Mercury from past experience. There are other great tuners around such as Sean at EFI and Richard at All Star - both in Brisbane.

She was a P plater and wanted a Skyline. Nothing wrong with that decision and she still drove it harder than you drive your turbo.

Lol! This guy. But seriously, move out!
