im glad i swapped to manual then

i have 201rwkw now, was originally auto

still stock turbo on 12 psi power fc fmic, AVCR split dump and thats about it. Car is still fairly stockish

the money spent putting in trans cooler, shift kits upgrading internals

in my opinion, manual would be way to go.

Only problem is replacing clutches, but how many times do ya have to do that. Not that often!

I'd disagree.. for a stock autogearbox it takes nearly a large power increase over stock before failing -- which is stronger than most other autos you will ever find in any other car with the exception of maybe the Toyota imports.

I've had no troubles with mine, and I'm not too kind to it.

Check the group buy section for shift kits.

As for shift kits making it harder on the box - it's the opposite. The changes are happening faster so less heat. heat is what kills autos. I killed mine the day I hit 220rwkw, but I had 190 for a fair while before that and went to the track often which is where I suspect I killed it - HEAT.

I now have a temperature gauge hooked up and am told to keep it below 130 degreesC.

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
