..it might be good to look into an R34 NA with 4WD system, coz dat will help a lot with the takeoff hahaha

Yes and no.

Attessa system adds 150 odd kg's to the car. Which is a fair bit in car terms

NA's, especially heavy 4WD 4 door NA's, dont really create enough power to have massive traction problems off the line.

I have launched my car quite hard in RWD and can honestly say that traction is not really a problem - unless your sporting el-cheapo tyres.

With the take off, a little wheel spin is good. It helps you get your revs up to where the power is quicker.

BUT! - here is the catch 22

With the R33's and 34's a constant 5% front torque is being sent to the front wheels. Through the twisties this creates a MASSIVE diffrence. I currently have shit for tyres. Going around corners in RWD, the ass just flys out without a problem. With the car in AWD the level of grip is hugely different. Attessa can also keep you out of sticky situations. If there is enough G forces applied to any of the 3 dimentions of the car the computer will assess this and send a certain amount of front wheel torque. If you keep your foot down the car will simply bog a little and pull straight and true.

So yes.. its a good system.. but can be a disadvantage.

Thats my rant and I hope it helped and made sence :)

man, i have apparently the slowest combo out there - N/A R34 25GT FOUR DOOR AUTO - BUT, i still dont see why people think its slow... get an exhaust on, and get SPLITFIRES :), and it will go hella fast enuff believe me. the autos do come with tiptronic too... :| i do 0-100 between 7-8 seconds.. it might be good to look into an R34 NA with 4WD system, coz dat will help a lot with the takeoff hahaha

yeah man there not bad at all, i went for a test drive in a non turbo r34 auto 4 door(not AWD but) and it had good power, but i went for the 33 manual instead, more fun:) pick it up tommorow cant wait :rolleyes:

yeh lol manual is fun, but u'll be shitting urself when ur stuck in heavy peak hour traffik for hours. plus i must say i like the look of an R34 over an R33 lol

if i ever get a manual, i'd want it to be turbochargeD

such as the 200SX S15 SPEC-R :thumbsup::D:D:D

yeah true, but since im only on my L's at the moment im not going to be doing a lot of peak hour traffic :P , yeah i like the look of a coupe r34 better than a r33 coupe but not a 4 door 34 or a 33 coupe no offense but then again i like the rougher unrefined feel of the 33 over the 34, picked up my today,

i love it :(

i have a series one r33 NA Auto and il do 0-100 in just under 8seconds...

only modification is the 2.25 inch exhaust system

not the fastest but im one happy P Plater :laughing-smiley-014:

and it beats up to vx commodores, so its all good...

hmmm i was just wondering, if i chucked a r33gts manual gearbox in my semi auto 34gts would it go as well? as a stock manual r33gts?

and...what mods are you allowed to have for P plater? because my 34 is slow as hell... and I'm to scared to do things to it, because i don't want to waste money...

hope you don't mind i just post it in this thread...because its kind of under the same topic=p=p

GTS4's have shorter gears..

Dont get me wrong, NA's can be quick.. Even quicker than turbo cars.. Just aslong as there warnt too many straights.. A well sorted NA can breeze past a turbo with the right driveline/suspention/brake mods if the driver knows how to extract everything out of the ye ol' faithful DE. Through reducing unsprung weight an NA can be just as quick point to point as a turbo.

Why do gts4s have shorter gears??, i was unaware of this :), what does this make the car?, slower, quicker, less top speed??

It gives you quicker acceleration.. but the 4th ger is so close it dosen't really matter.. 5th is the same..

It can be bad.. because you can start to strip gers with higher power and its harder to go down into gears at higher speed..

Coilovers are the shockie/damper and spring together as one unit..

so no.. its not stock.. its a tien item made to work with the tien damper

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
