Whats the problem with the auto?

They are just as strong as the manuals, and with a bit of work will always get you down the 1/4 quicker than a manual. I admit the standard autos (even with mods) they are not the best for serious track work, but if manuals are so bad, why have the F1 teams oll gone this way?

The other advantage is that with a properly matched torque converter you can install the biggest lagy turbo (with huge RWKW) and still come on boost quickly.

I dont have any objection to a manual, but I dont understand the rush many people are in to change from the auto.

Any of you guys after side skirts for the R32 4 Door? I've got a pair in good condition primed already and will paint it to gun metal grey if desired. They fit the coupe as well but they look much better on the sedan. I'm looking at around $150 for the pair. PM Me.

Here's mine.

I have the tiptronic auto and I've been out to the track with it. It's great fun and I get the bonus of ease of driving in traffic which in Sydney sucks arse.

My lights are different to the 2 doors as well but I think they are actually better.

i spose the auto would work a bit better with higher static compression & 1/2 a litre more capacity than it would on my little RB20. I guess it comes down to personal choice. I'm an ex country lad who has only ever owned manuals. one day it might change

how much are those impul 4drs worth these days?

if only i could get a 33 4 door gtr................anyone sellin one

That would be nice... They sell for a mint on the extremely rare occassion that they're found by an Aussie importer.

Even better would be an R32 GTB-4 - but only 5 were made AFAIK. They looked just like R324D's car, but with the fat guards on the front AND back, as well as the RB26DETT, of course. Hell, I'd even settle for the Autech R-32 with the atmo RB26DE (still had individual throttle bodies, etc.) Mmmmmmmmm.

BTW, R324D, I'm sure I saw your car a few years back waiting to turn right (North) onto Silverwater Rd a few years back. I 'd just turned left 'cos I was on the way to AutoSalon (maybe two years ago?) and spotted your car wating at the intersection, then I did a double-take when I realised it was a Sedan/4-door/coupe-with-practicality/(insert bodystyle description of choice)...

Nnnniiiiiiiiiicccccceeeee! :(

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
