Hmmm... Thinking about buying an R34 GT-4. How easy is it to do an engine swap? Drop in an RB26 and it's essentially a GTR..

Never seen a GT-4 for sale until now. $15k asking price.

As what Shan said...

You could probably get a R32 GTR for a similar price of a R34 GTT.

Or save your money and get the MR2 Turbo.

Yeah I think I will get a stock MR2 turbo. Less cop hassles that way.

Also thinking of getting a shitbox Celica for like $2000 and save all my money for other things (not necessarily cars).

I might take a break from the car scene... We'll see what comes along.

Get an R32 GTS-4 and be a winner like me :ermm:
mine's for sale if you want it.

can supply with stock go fast bits or not depending on how ethnic you get and try to haggle.

comes in 6 different body colours simultaneously.

two owners since new with full books. both owners liked teh go fast pedal.

hahah the abs f**ked up on my gts-4... sounds like someone has had the 4wd fuse pulled out for too long, or has been doing rwd keybangers

mine f**ked up soo badly i coudnt even turn a corner, it would just lock the attessa half way between and it was like jaming the breaks on while trying to perform a u turn hahaha

nah mine just has one caliper locked permanently. It compresses, but then doesn't flow backwards. Guessing there's something in the ABS lines that's acting as a one way valve. Gonna bleed it n see what happens... just need to get around to doing it.

Err.. Your manual comment is void because I CAN drive manual. Would you like to see video of me driving my workmate's MR2 tomorrow? Major inconvenience but I can do it on my lunch break. Would be worth it to prove you wrong... :(

FYI, I don't want to have internet arguments. They're gay. So after this reply just leave it kthx.

Oh and I have driven SAU people's cars before. First one I ever drove was Chad's 32 and he will back me up if he reads this.

If I managed to handle that clutch I'm pretty sure I can handle a standard one :(

wow panties in a bunch, post up saying you don't like internet arguments and you keep goin on fb and SAU :P nice.

lol standard. yes :(

never go into first gear

only go into first gear when you are stopped

if the vehicle is moving, the lowest gear you should select is 2nd

again this would be from sub 30/40km/h

you dont need to downgear in sequence but dont go from 4th to 1st or 2nd

theres too much ratio difference. if your in fourth and slowing down, goto 3rd and brake a bit

use both to slow the car down. not one. if you stick with using one (ie engine or brake)

when you need to emergency stop you wont clutch in, which will mean the car wont stop for peanuts

in an auto when you brake, the engine is disengaged from the clutch, so you stop normally

if you do the same in a manual ,the car will pull up heaps slower and take much longer, cos the engine and clutch are still engaged. ie like slowing down a spinning wheel whilst someone is still pedaling behind on it (on a bike)

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
