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.

    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
    • But if you had to go bury a body in the forest, would you not put that in the boot? Most of them are >=90kg these days.
