I just got an auto R33 GTS-T II, pretty much stock accept it growls a bit as there some mods to the exhaust or muffler... not too sure.

Anyway Ive read that manual GTS-Ts do 6.2 sec to 100 km/h. Given that autos do have a slightly bigger lag, is it safe to say that an auto will do around 6.6 to a 100 km/h?

PS I know its a 10 yo car and they dont go as hard as something thats about 4-5 yo but nevertheless.

im pretty sure the auto will do a better 0-100 time. auto's will lag but you can start at a higher rev (rev and brake till you start to spin) and still have full traction, that will give you a better take off than any manual out there. for me its at around 3000 and it isnt till past the 100 mark that a manual will beat me.

why do you think most top drag cars are quick shift? :D

I too always felt that most autos take off quicker.

So whats the best way to launch an auto? Power button on and rev past 5000 rpm on each gear?

haha dont we all. you will get shit it being n auto n all... but really, there isnt that much difference power wise and stuff so meh.

only problem i have atm is my turbz is dying lol. :) needs me a new one. sif live without boostage.

Yeah my mate just got turbo Mr2 and giving me bit of shit cos hes is manual mine is auto... i drive when its peak hour traffic (Melbourne is peak hour traffic non stop). So its great just put your foot down and it flies! ALso no need to worry about clutches or leg cramps and the fact that Im 6'4 does it make it much easier not to have to move your feet ever 2 seconds... lay down, kick back :)

hey dude is there melb cruises coming for SAU? Id love to attend one!

if you want to be attending events etc, might want to look into signing up as a vic member.

$70 initial sign up and $50 every 12 months after that to renew...the forms are in the vic section somewhere....they do a lot of members only cruises etc so being a member has its benefits...discounts at certain places also :)

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
