You'll care when boxes start becoming harder to find :P

I hate to say it, but an Auto will make life a lot easier on all of it... There is a reason the people have trended to Auto GTRs (more the last few years) - Reliability/Consistency are key. Don't break shit and don't need to service it anywhere near as often.

Blasphemy, a auto R32/3/4 GTR, how dare you, go stand in a corner now. :)

A 2 way in the front? I didn't know you did that man, would've been interesting on decel :D

TBH most of the time, you wouldn't know it's there. But if pushing hard at the track and down shifting aggressively, it would lock up the fronts.

Strong diff. Couple of times i limiter launched it, forgetting it was in RWD, then with foot flat spinning the rears, I flicked the 4wd switch and you just had to hang onto the wheel. Felt brutal. Don't recommend that method.

lol I know it is, believe you me it's almost sacrilegious in my view (if i was a religious person). Give me Japs and H patterns of the 90s any day.

But none the less it will fix his problems, well the problems that are to come perhaps :D

First whats a draggot. Lol i dont want to guess.

I did think about a auto but for a very small moment. If i didnt drive the car on the street i would consider that option. Next it would have to be a power glide wit stally convert. To tell you the truth i know nothing about what i just said. Juat know all the fancy words. Lol:(

But i learn fast. Is there any companies that supply a whole auto kit for it. ??

I dont see 4wd gtr boxes getting hard to find i was offer 6 of them for 2k in miami. Still thinking about that. Lol. Last one i got from them water was in the transfercase. :angry:

But for the price thats not bad. Im just worried about the front diff.

Oil isn't running out yet either, but when it does a lot of things that people take for granted will suddenly become a lot harder. You will see the equivalent with those 6 GTR gearboxes. They are there now at that price because people are not (locally) putting much value on them. But when there are no spares left because people have been treating them as a consumable, then the wailing and gnashing of teeth with begin!

I mentioned going Auto on our GTR build to my son......he didn't talk to me for a week. (maybe a good thing)

Yep, gentler on the drive line and some of the fastest GTR's have gone that way, but for crying out loud, nothing beats banging away on the gears.

Besides, leave the autos to the little girls.

This below is what will happen to you if you go Auto in your GTR.......

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)

      Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...

      Blue slip

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...

      Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
