I was talking about the japanese cars such as the HKS gtr and other tuning house full drag cars. I can undersand keeping a street car manual. But i dont know why say for example the hks gtr is manual still, it could pick up alot of time going to a set up auto even tho the development for that would be a long time int he making.

Matt, I was thinking about putting a powerglide in the GT-R, yeah and then putting a 350 Chev it in with a Ford 9-inch... what do you reckon?? :D

Hell yeah mate! :( But keep the RB26 in there, just whack a blow-through triple Webber carbie set-up on it.

SR910,

Yep I 100% agree with you re the HKS drag car & the like. The HKS car uses an air shifted box doesn't it? I'd have thought it would be reasonably good anyway?

7 grand stall, shit that only leaves 1k rev range on my car! Munro's would be allright revving to 10K.

Just couldn't drive a skyline with an auto, it just seems wrong. Although in my Torana days I had a turbo 350 with full manual valve body, shift kit and high stall....

And it still only ran 13's! :D

Actually, just got HPI no. 39. The cover car (QLD R33 GTS-T) has a race prepped tri-matic in it, has run 10.2 on slicks. So yeah, auto's good for 1/4 mile, but not for flogging through the hills.

yeah i copped a lil sticker on the old jms car.All he was lookin for was a BOV whick i dont have anyway. Dont have to go thru regency i dont think as he made errors filling out the form.

defect least of my worries atm. Spun a bearing later that night so motor is out and gettin rebuilt as we speak.

Cant wait for me fresh, un danny touched motor. scored the crank so got myself another R34 crank. too easy.

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
