Im hoping to be there in a few weeks!!! I have all the parts I need now I just need someone to bolt the suckers on!!

I imagine there is a fair few people on this forum who are around this mark!!

Yep 378rwkw on 23psi, with a lame tune, 2 degrees less timing than what

we would run, and 11.5 a/f ratios. I have somehow become head tester of these Electronic Jatco's. I broke the first version(blew 2nd gear hub to pieces)

after the first 4 days of 315rwkw on 16psi. I now have the first aftermarket hub, 3 times stronger than the original. The clutches seem to be coping with the power. The problem i am having now, is the box is selecting 2nd and the first clutch in 3rd at the same time, and i keep losing gears for no reason then they come back. Mike is currently designing a new shift servo to fix this, while

the car is getting painted. I make 680nm of torque(around 10,500N) in top gear (3rd), the car physically will not stay on the dyno in 2nd.

The massive torque hit with the GT42 is what killed the 2nd gear hub.

eeeeww auto

Absolute wanker...the car would be ALOT slower from a standing start or actually even a roll on

with a manual, it would just wheelspin on the spot keeping up with 12 sec cars :P,waste of money.

But i have full traction now once it hits second, and it is a animal on the street, bikes hate it :(

cheers

hehe im just stirrin much prefer to drive a car then just stand on the gas :worship: my daily/tow car is auto tho :D

guys i know ran 10.3 with there manual s15 :D but now they gone auto cause they runnin lots n lots of power but 250-350rwkw is very drivable in manual mode :)

What george and theo/gt autosound car.....everyones there mates aren't they :(

Full weight, manual supras have gone 8.9 at 170mph in the states........that's impressive.

while you might think 350rwkw in a manual street car is very driveable, i can tell you

while it feels fast, the 12 sec ls1 will still be door handle to door handle with you on the street,

and the auto will be 300m down the rd, before you have stopped spinning, i see this every weekend.

My mates have nearly all taken the manuals out of there cars for autos now, as they got sick of

getting waxed by nearly stock auto vl turbos, with baby converters and coolers.

I am running a stock converter at the moment 4 dr, i have a 3500rpm one here, but it is to hard to

tune the car on the dyno as it is, with all the line pressure behind it. Once fully tuned i will fit it.

I will probally put a KEAS 3 speed in it with a transbrake next though, if this trans gives me anymore probs.

For your combo, i would probally put a 2800rpm behind it, i had one before. It seems to be the biggest you

can go before it affects general driveability, and it still locks up on the highway ok, i drove to Melbourne

and back with mine, it wasn't bad., Good street converter.

my mate has an auto HSV GTO LE and its 257kw at wheels (im 175 rwkw), and from take off he kills me in first, to abou 1.5 car lengths, then in 2nd gear i keep with him till abuot 4th then he breaks away to about 2-3 car lengths.

then we tried rolling start at 40kmh, i kept with him to about 3rd when he started breaking away to about 1 car length.

so yeh autos have big advandage (n so does the extra 80 kws lol)

Sorry i don't get me wrong i appreaciate drag racing.........but lets face it, it's for people that cant drive around corners :mad: and besides we have cars that are made for turning, whether it be hills racing(togue), track racing or drifting. I say if you wanna race in a straight line buy a commo or a falcon, because they don't handle well at all, but hey thats my point(waiting to get blasted by the draggers :P ), But like i said i DO appreaciate the stomping V8's with a massive charger out the bonnet, I think they are all good!

A serious racing team would use a manual, but I havnt noticed any problems keeping up with any of you guys through the hills. I select my gears manually rather than leave it in drive, and I have the torque you are lacking whenI need it.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
