What's your budget?

i kinda mentioned earlier-I know it's a bit vague but about 2-3k now, 3-4k in next 2 weeks(after tax) & the rest will be spent over next few months(as I save up a bit). Am planning on holding on to this r34 & making w/e & project car. Have another car

I had considered selling the entire box and transmission setup if the torque converter I am getting built doesn't end up doing what I want the car to do very well

(someone may want it for a different application, i.e drag)

But in all honesty, get the manual

If you would like to me expand on it, you should really, really, really get the manual.

To expand further, the gearbox has cost me closer to 10K to get it to where it is, which is good, but unless the TC from TCE makes it better than a manual (arguable!) you're at least, least, least spending 10K to get to the level where a $0 manual gearbox is at.

get the manual

You have spent more than most with the auto controller etc, but by far the best drivability from any built auto I have driven.

When comparing to the manual box, remember a decent clutch to hold 4-450kw is over 2 grand. And it wouldn't last long at that power without a gearset. You could potentially spend similar coin on the manual setup.

REALLY....10k!!! I don't mind spending 10k on all mods(eventually) but you are right, I can't justify 10k just on the trans box. Sh$&! Manual is fun but I live in Melbourne's North & hard to enjoy due to traffic, stop start of all roundabouts & the speed cameras are everywhere now(I'm not an irresponsible hoon & don't condone it on streets). But just going 2-3 kms over=ticket, points gone-no license. Sorry about essay ha

also Kinkstaah(was it Gregg?), I meant before are you looking to sell entire car?

mmmhhh....interesting Scotty, & thanks so much. I didn't think of that. I wouldn't even mind spending 2-3k more to get high hp Auto r34 going. Like manual, love Auto. now all I need is to win lotto & get dual clutch r35 haha

Nah mate. Seen it with my own 2 eyes. Skidz 4 dayz

WOW, I'm impressed! I've worked with a lot of Auto Shops in Melbourne with marketing & ads & could never find something that high! That's like over 1k hp! Tip my hat. What State?

do you think Auto r34 could ever get close to those numbers?

As stated earlier-recently sold one, am sifting through jap auctions to buy gtt as we speak(also considering Vic market). Sorry, Can't tell, you guys Gtstboy & Ben c34 being sarcastic or genuine?

gtsboy likes deers. and benc34 wants an na 34, so he's asking to gauge whether you'd be interested in selling yours.

    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
    • Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
