Hello

My R32 GTS-T is dying and I am going to purchase another one. The one that I have now is a auto and it has a pod, catback exhaust, and a RB25 turbo on it.

I plan to put the parts onto the next R32 GTS-T that I am going to buy.

Which would be better performance wise, a auto or manual?

I live in Japan so its a daily driver. I plan on doing additional mods to it to reach 200rwkw.

Help please.

manual . auto are more suited to larger displacement engines imo (i'm talking about stock versions). unless you do alot of highway travelling , then auto is quite good

Why are autos better for highway driving?

What color should I get?

Joking :P

Will try a manual.

How do they drive with a manual compared to an auto?

Will upgrading the clutch and flywheel with Nismo or other aftermarket parts be good or should I put a RB25 manual inside?

There is nothing wrong with an auto gearbox ...

Flat shifting gearchanges with auto means you dont have to come off the throttle ... which means they are actually faster than manuals ....

Do a stage 2 shift kit or go stage 3 with manualised valvebody upgrade and you will leive manuals for dead with much more positive shifts ...

if ya want to launch the auto off the mark get a highstall torque converter so u can stall it up then release the brake and away ya go

And with all that being said I still love my manuals and have 3 manual cars and have to say the auto is a hell of alot nicer to drive on the highways and is quicker in the midrange to highend but since im not using a highstall converter it tends to retain its normal crappy takeoffs ...

I am a mechanic in the trade and I just swapped out my Dead R32 - RB20 auto box for a replacement RB25DET auto box from a series 2 R33 GTS-T that had a valvebody stage 2 shift kit put through it and it is way better to drive :blink: that the stock box...

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
