Ok guys im pretty keen on getting an R34 n/a for the missus. I wanna get a manual but its looking like i have to get an auto simply coz there's more out there and the manual is heeeeaps more.

How do the auto 34's go? Are they alrite cruisers? I drove a couple and it seemed ok, but maybe after a few months it would give ya the shits????

Also,

The guy importing it can put me onto a workshop that can convert it to manual for a couple grand. Would it be worth it? He rekons u dont need to change the computer and its pretty much a straight swap.

All opinions welcome....

EDIT: One last thing, i have a 3inch cat back zorst that was from me old 33 GTS-t, would that fit on the 34?

Expect a drop of up to 10rwkw.. on the road it translates to nothing really, as the kick back to 3rd is pretty quick (fourth is really just a stall convertor). You'll make up the difference with an exhaust easily.

Yeah the R34 Tiptronics arent that bad to tell you the truth, ive been in a 2Dr Tippo and they hammer aswell.

In regards to the conversion, sorry man wouldnt have a clue.. Ask the guys in the Drivetrain and Transmission side :)

Can i put 91 petrol in it seeing as its n/a?

No, you're not meant to. 95 octane is the minimum recommended fuel for your car (and most imports). My previous car had a head gasket issue, that I suspect was caused by running it on regular unleaded for an extended period of time.

My GTT in its stock form was a bag of fun, this was coming from driving a 2.8L 5 Series BMW... The auto was quite easy to "tolerate" but I would highly recommend the gearbox overhaul from MV Automatics (about $3K-$4K for the whole works)

My latest conversion has come together very nicely... lots of R&D and once off parts required but it was worth it; RB2630 - never looking back now!

haha i was just about to say lol .

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
