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 :)

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
