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.......

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
