sorry for hi-jacking the thread but do you guys normally drive with overdrive on or off?

and whats the difference?

i know on highway if your crusing at 100/110 it will engage the overdrive gear, but just generally driving around town going 60 - 70 do you have overdrive on?

Ive a r33 with auto for nearly 5 years now, no problems at all, and im not easy on it. I control manually when the shifts happen, but every now and then ill let the computer do it. I am also running an aftermarket ECU (motec M48) and have no problems with line pressures or shift points. It is a FOUR speed box (o/drive being the 4th gear), with a lock up torque converter. I NEVER have over drive switched on unless im travelling over 80k's. All the autochanging in and out at around the 70'k mark is not good on clutch packs.

yeah I use to drive with it on always because it revved lower, but after some research found that even though it rev's higher its not wasting any more petrol, and you use alot less throttle to pik-up

I turn O/D on when I'm hitting about 70kph

strange, because with the overdrive on VLs, I drive with it on (pwr button sticking out) since it doesnt really come into effect until you go over 70 anyway.

I only have it off if I'm going up hills or have a heavy load

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?

      I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk

      Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

      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.
