Hey guys.

I remember when I was about 11yrs old going to a friends house.

His older brother had an R33 gtst or GTR, I'm not sure.. But I remember he used to brag about being able to go uphill in 5th hear doing about 50ks or so..

I did witness this in the car not just him saying it, this is what got me into these amazing cars :)

So my question is, is this possible? And if so, how is it done? Different diff ratio? More compression? :/ or?

Cheers guys, sorry if this has been covered, I tried searching.

what a question.

just cos it can be done doesnt mean it should. uphill in 5th will put savage loads on your transmission and drivetrain. terrible idea. i have a huge v8 and even i dont go up hill in 5th.

That is why I asked the question..

I wasn't sure if it was normal or not for a powerful car..

I do also remember reading a build thread where the guy said he could go up hill in 5th quite slow..

But yeah if it's too much load on the engine, then that's my question answered..

Is there a way WITHout putting so much load?

Cheers for the replies.

Was Just curios to see if it was possible with out any real strain in the motor, obviously not...

      R35 GT-R production ends after 18 years

      By Rezz · Posted

      Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R.

      21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.

      Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
