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...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
