Easy fellas dun make us delete the thread.

Can you provide any linkage to the supra shifters (hint: supraforums.com)?? Maybe then ppl can see what the function of the shifter is.

This is actually quite an amusing thread.

"I want a sequential shift coz its quick" don't want to use the clutch either. I want to be able to change gears really fast so I can drag race.

Why not fit an automatic transmission then ? Autos are for wankers that cannot drive properly. But I am prepared to spend really BIG dollars to have a manual box that shifts like an auto.

Hehehe, its a strange world isn't it.

lol manual H pattern car - manual gear shift - clutch = auto with 5 gears...

the guy does have a point.

I've heard a few mates who adjust their gear ratios on their auto's to get better times on the drags than most manuals. But their transmission gives em a powerloss and weight disadvantage.

If you have a non AWD R32 and wanna improve your shifting fit a GTR or GTS4 shifter in it, its around the same size (so Its not shorter) but the throw is much smaller. Cost = $50.

Usuckpoo (interesting call) you are just not seeing this are you?  If you actually read the text on my posts, you might understand what I am saying??  Seems like Ureallydosuckpoo as you are making a bit of a dick of yourself.

I'm not going to be the source of your cheap entertainment.  I have more important things to do.

This post was a simple espression of interest, nothing more.  

For the record, I own 4 companies and don't suffer fools well.  So as a matter of fact, I DO have a real GTR V-Spec, so don't patronise me.  

Now,  for everyone else who's had something useful to say (that is every contributor to the post except Mr Poo), thank you for your honest points of view and thoughts.  I do greatly appreciate your time experience.

My question posed to you was not a rhetorical one meant to insult you, rather an entirely valid one imho

You seem to paint the impression in your previous posts that your interest in the shifter was not for its fucntional properties but more for its novelty and that similar peer or public interest in the shifter was a driving consideration. Further you choose to cite the analogy of "who really needs a skyline when all of us can drive corrollas" I just asked if these were the compelling factors that led to the choice of your vehicle, since they seem evident in your interest in the shifter.

That said, please do not huddle insults at me.

Why the need to mention that you own 4 companies and such? Does that make you more of a person than the rest of us? Does tat render me a fool because i do not own such assets?

Cheers

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
