If its the one I'm thinking of, its a candy apple red colour. Has a GTR front grille and Veilside style front bar. The guy lives just off Grand Junction Road so probably the same car. He has had it for sale for ages.

Most drag car's auto?.. i hope you dont mean Imports, if so can i have what you are smoking?

If you are however talking local old school tubbed v8's and the like then yes alot are but its not your run of the mill auto (Insert: talk to Munro here).

No, when I referred to most drag cars I meant as a whole. "Usually" they choose auto as the reliability and accuracy is better.

Less clutch frying and human error (slow gear changes etc).

This morning on the way to work I saw a nice white GTR R33. Black carbon fibre bonnet.

Looked very nice indeed.

Actually i kinda agree, F1s use auto upshifting and some even auto downshifting.

less room for human error.

nooot exactly dragging but still racing.

      R35 GT-R production ends after 18 years

      By Rezz · Posted

      Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By MBS206 · Posted

      21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
