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.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
