dude, it is a NA auto 4 door. slowest skyline combination possible. Sp23's are pretty quick little cars for a 4 cylinder. the outcome is probably correct.

It seems the N/a seden R34 Auto have lack of power....have anyone out there got the same problem???

I got killed by a Auto Mazda 3 sp23 another day.

Hmmmm.. he's right... You would be doing better if it was the coupe and manul... your 4 door ( weight) and auto ( tricky to use revs to your advantage ) is at a considerable disadvantage.. You can still make it look nice though :D

My r33 GTS is pretty fun to drive around in, ( 2 dr manual )Maybe consider selling your auto and get a manual?

The R34 N/A 4 door is just a simple commuter car (pretty much a commodore of japan)... I wouldn't be expecting blistering performance out of it. The mazda's got better power to wieght than your car.

arnt mazda Sp models all turbo charged i read the mazda 6sp comes 4Wd and 190KW not sure bout the mazda 3 though

no

there are plans for a 2.3L turbo moror (160 kw from memory). MPS 6 (awd), and hopefully, MPS3 (fwd). If they go into production, the MPS3 takes about 4 seconds to go from zero to speeding (100).

The SP23 is an older Mazda3 with extractors and a few other tidbits from the factory. Better grip, too, which was impressive for a passenger few to begin with.

Enjoy the 4 door skyline. Easy to drive (auto), looks good, space for mates. Probably only as fast a bommodore, but thats with alot less cubes.

Hi, you may be able to get a little more power with a better air filter and exhaust mods (extractors & so on) to help you out, but I'm sure if you had had power as the first priority when you bought the car, you would have got a turbo in the first place.

When I had my R32 GTS4 (2L turbo, manual) it felt pretty dam good compared to what I had been driving. Weighing in at around 1450kgs it was par for acceleration as a R32 GTS25 (auto) with the above done to it. SO I think with the extra kgs my car was carrying and the mods he had done they sort of equaled out) .

The best I did to 100km/hr was 7.5 secs with a mate stop watching(not the most accurate but...) with a 4.5 k launch, which is pretty dam slow! factory specs for new were 6.75 secs so age and the fact it was my car (wasn't going to do a 6 or 7k launch) hadn't really slowed the car a lot.

I learnt pretty quickly that I wasn't go to blow people away at the lights and that I had to make use of the cars other abilities - like cornering, braking etc if I wanted to stay in the lead (all on a race track of course).

I would say your R32 2.5 is fairly heavy like my old GTS4 and with only 200cc more than the Mazda you have to expect that it will be hard to get one up on them.

Like the others have said , Enjoy the other aspects of your car, its not all about power. Otherwise you would have a GTR ...

I have an R32 GTS25 and i wouldn't say its slow, but it would get killed by an SP23 easily... I have an R34 GTV auto 4 door coming in from Japan at the moment, and I expect that to be even slower again because of the weight increase...

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
