Yes, to do with the number of clutch packs on the forward gears from memory, the GTt has extra due to more torque.

So thus making the non-turbo auto weaker than the turbo auto??

So is there a difference in the manual 5spd gear boxes between the turbo and non turbo R34's??

Not weaker, just makes it flare much easier. The 5spd in the GT is very similar to the RB20DET manual, the 5spd GTt box is much more awesome, moreso than the R33 GTSt box

You're right about the flaring ~_~

Even with modifed R34's the GTt one flares if it's not got a good bit of heat in it, that's why I like summer...not so long to get things up to temp (but luck out with power dropping a bit) I recently changed my gearbox oil over to some Valvoline stuff that is designed for Commodore Taxi slush-boxes and gained some extra friction on changes. Good as gold again.

Yes they are. 4 and 2 spot calipers vs 2 and 1 spot calipers. Also rotor sizes are different. R34 25GT Sedan is different again. An R34 GTV however has the GTT Brakes, though the GTV is also a GTT with an RB25DE NEO pretty much.

I haven't done a transmission service since I bought the car (Jan 07) only done 15,000kms in that time however and bought it with 105,000kms. Given that it never had the 100,000 km service done I hardly think the transmission has received a service in a long while in Japan... Any recommendations for where to take it for a service? I originally contacted Aspley Auto's about service and also shift kit, but they insist on driving it first to see how bad the flaring is, ie. whether a shift kit is going to fix or worsen the problem. They're in north side though which is rather inconvenient for me :S

pretty much identical, the differences are minimal we use the 34 boxes as they are generally lower km items..

    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
