Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

I already have an exemption... For a turbo.

And hopefully I'll be buying the NA Saturday. If not turbo it is.

I rather get an NA now cos then if the cars in good nic keep it till I can swap the engine and it'll be sweet

If that's the case, then why not get an R32 and upgrade to a RB25 when you're ready? Lighter, prettier (in my opinion) and a 2L NA won't chew through fuel like a 2.5L NA would.

If you are set on getting a R33 NA, then make sure that it is 100% straight and manual. That way, you can flog the box (lol!) and it will take a beating. Will also teach you how the car moves and then you can put the head on a 30 and boost it - which is not as easy as it sounds but anyway.

It's auto, been re painted. Engine looks in good nic, r32s look weird to me. I can't drive manual skylines. I can't change gears properly and I don't want to learn.

thats not the attitude to have. I will teach u Kath in da GTR!

I can drive manual. It's just that from first to second sucks. Plus city driving is much better in an auto

This is true but you get used to it. If it's a factory or forgiving clutch, then you'll be right. No fun to be had in autos really.

Autos are designed to be more efficient and economical. I know that in mine, if I'm in D, the car isn't willing to stay about 2.5k rpm even when I'm hammering it. Eg: going around a corner pretty hard, you lift and the revs drop right down as it will automatically select the most economical gear. Whereas in tip, the TCU switches to sports mode and allows a lot more free revving. Don't know if the older manuals had this option. Also, if it isn't tip, how are you going to chose the right gear? If you're in traffic and want to give it a bootful around someone at 60kmph, the box will have you in 4th and you won't have the torque there. Just saying, that if you plan on building the car in the future, get as many things right now as possible as parts cost cash. You could be paying up to $1k for a decent RB25 manual box whereas buying a manual now may only cost an additional $300-$500. f**k with it, learn to drive it, destroy the clutch and replace it. You'll still be better off financially.

Don't get me wrong. Autos are great but if you want performance, it should be a manual or a very smart auto box.

Just to ensure that there is absolutely no sex discrimination at play here... I just discovered that I cannot drive manual either can you allow me to test pilot teach me too lol

    • Thanks, I'll shim that plug and hopefully it fixes it.  Yes still factory turbo for now, still have the misfire it's not as bad but still noticeable 
    • I had someone check the CU, they said it was fine but it could be buggered  I was only running around 7-10 PSI on the dual stage controller, but my boost gauge is shit house and needs replacing so I'm not getting a true reading.  Then I ran from wastegate pressure as per Turbosmart but still have the same sort of issue 
    • Yeah this is a thing. I've had mine setup like this for a few years now, works fine. If I dredge my memory bank, I think I had to do this after I removed my factory dash.  So you've tried it on gate pressure, I'm assuming this is the factory turbo? Did you still have misfire issues with that setup?
    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)
