Buying A R33 Gt-t S2

[andz]

^Ahh, I see why you said what you did andrew, but I was actually trying to take the piss that so many young people "read something on the internet it must be true!"

I actually think that tiptronic auto's are the way to go, anice!

stick to what u believe Lee

if tiptronic is the way to go..then why are u driving a manual

btw, how do u launch an auto?...do u rev and brake at the same time? then drop the brake?

I think you rev in nuetral then shift it into low drive? thats how i used to make the traction let go in the old CE Lancer with K&N pod and 2 inch zorst.

yep that is exactly what you do Andy.

With the stock box and stall converter I can stall my car up to around 2,300rpm - which is just on boost and more than enough for a good launch. But when I get my stall converter upgraded, I will be able to stall to around 2,800 - which in my car is making around 10psi boost and around 100rwkw

You would be very surprised at how quick my car is off the line. Can't wait until we finally have a drag strip I can get some numbers on.

hehe Andrew

im glad u didnt think i was stirring

i had an auto Ford Probe many years ago, V6 but always get out-dragged by my friend's 4 cyl manual

[Nightcrawler]

nah I mate I don't always bite

Can't wait until we have a drag strip one day to give you GTR some lessons ROFLMAO

I am sure by that time I will own and R34GTR or maybe even an R35GTR :thumbsdown:

Another vote for the auto and a shift kit (but I may be a little biased)

For simillar power on a quarter mile it would be a tough call between the GTR and an auto (down to driver skill)

I'd love to have a $ for every GTR i've seen take off at the line and just bog down and do nothing special. When they hook up well they are fantastic, but more often than not I've been disapointed watching the launch.

just coz GTR all wheel drive hence they dnt tend to sit there smoking it up....

[gtrkiet]

zOmg GTR launch is fully sick uleh!

driver's skill in a straight line? in an automatic?

they bog down coz they have a gay-assed clutch that cant handle a 6000-7000 launch

yep I agree with Guy - GTRs are very hard to launch. See how many goes it takes Keir Wilson or John Munro to get their cars down the drag strip. I reckon the good launches would be 1 in 10 - even with their tough clutches/drivelines etc. Of course that is an extreme example, but you get the idea.

Unfortunately Andy, most GTR clutches would fry on the spot with an 8k launch. Few people even try it (I know you are an exception to the rule )

Yes I agree with similar power GTR and a well sorted auto would be a tough battle. Remember too that is takes 0.2 seconds to change gears - so having an auto that changes instantly saves you about 0.8 seconds too!

Are they - I didnt know that

[nos man]

been in some auto turbo cars and some of them go! maybe because of the longer gear ratios, i don't know but i still prefer manual when it comes to twisty turns because the heel toe method feels smoother when downshifting! or maybe i just haven't driven a well sorted auto in the hills

[gtrkiet]

Are they - I didnt know that

u just ruined it...

and launching a gtr at 8k revs doesnt fry ur clutch? unless you have some 500 dollar one than yea mayb but if ur not cheap and get urself a decent clutch u can launch as much as u want it just comes down to how much power ur car is pulling. if ur driving a gtr i wouldnt think you would be getting a cheap clutch anyway lol.. unless ur an idiot lol

Autos are very good for launches..

That is how you blow a trans

LOL pauly, but not like that
