Just wanting more information on these Unicorns of the japanese made cars,

Off memory I thought there were a hand full of R33 gtr's made in Automatic from the factory, anyone got one or know anything about them?

Cheers

There were a handful of R33 GT-R sedans made by Autech, but they were all manual, as were all GT-Rs :D

i must be thinking of the sedan gtr's..... that rings a bell now

I am almost certain Autech also did automatic r33 GTRs with no turbo ie rb26de.

BTW is this just out of interest, or do you want one? You could not get compliance if you found one to import, but if you really wanted to build one your probably could with a stagea box (just need to get the auto computer control sorted)

Autech put out the R32 4 door with an RB26DE and Automatic, only about 200 produced, apparently.

Body panels are slightly different to the GTRs.

sure did

haha I'm really curious as to WHY they took an RB26 and took both turbos off for an end result which while sounding good, is only marginally better in performance than the RB25DE! Does anyone know if it uses high comp pistons or if its just really a TT version with them removed?

      Rear suspension upgrades

      People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.

      What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Easiest way to know is to break out the multimeter and measure it when cold, then measure all the resistances again once it gets hot enough to misfire. Both the original ignitor and the J Replace version. Factory service manual will have the spec for the terminal measurements.
