Hey there guys,

I'm writing this in behalf of my brothers car. (It's a S1 93' Auto 33 gtst)

Only mods to it are full exhaust, and FMIC. It's running stock boost atm.

When he's driving the car gently, the car seems to say 2nd gear, unless he really puts his foot down, which will eventually trigger the car to get into third gear (and subsequently fourth).

I really have no idea what it could be.

If the accelerator is 'mashed' from the get go, the car goes through all the gears no problem. The issue is the car is a daily, and in it's current condition it's rather undriveable.

Just want to know what it could be, and more-so a rough estimate of how much it 'should' cost to get fixed =P (He's been ripped in the past bigtime.)

Thanks guys

- Dervish

See if A/T Diagnostics throws any codes first?

Try the obvious shit like checking switches, tranny ECU, doing a reset etc

If its only between second and third, and every other gear shift is OK, count on it being a problem at the ECU.

Make sure the "power/comfort" switch is set to normal or comfort if R33s have one?

Price range to fix could vary from Free -> sweet f**k all -> new gearbox.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
