Search button is your friend

thanks mate would u be so kind in giving me a link to it then? since i tried search before i posted this topic and i just did it again just incase and i couldnt find anything? :yucky: all i could find is tech problems and people wanting to convert their autos to manual, with no specific reason as to why a manual is better than an auto? anyone can tell u an auto with highstall will be better than a manual for drags assuming the strength is the same. This brings me back to my original question......does anyone know if the manual is stronger than the auto on an r34 gt-t? my bro is looking to buy an r34gt-t and this info would really help as the autos are a fair bit cheaper.

The general consensus is that the stock manual drivetrain in the gtt is good for up 300rwkw. The auto-tiptronic box is good for around 240kw. Hope that helps.

Thanks man, that helps alot...you say drivetrain, so it's not just the gearbox thats different?

There's certain differences with the autos and manuals, for instance the ecu - which has implications for your coilpacks, limited choice on turbos etc.

But don't let that put you off the tiptronic... i've got one, and i'm extremely happy with how it performs.

I cant imagine my stock GT-T clutch or lsd handling 300rwkw for too long, the stock diffs are crap thats why i replaced mine with a Nismo 2way and next thing on the is the clutch, but the gearbox seems to be fairly strong though :)

You'll burn clutches, but what i meant was you won't blow gearboxes. Anyhow, this is all second hand information to me from my tuner Shuan from Boostworx.

      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.
