probably not appropriate to be taking it out to the red line, but I always drive an auto like a manual. maybe stretch it out to 4k then shift to the next highest gear. change down a gear (or 2) coming into a corner.

I like to be in charge of the power delivery.

If the auto is on a jap car, just press the "power" button. This will take your revs out to redline before changing, if you have your foot planted. If your foot is not planted then there is no need to go to the redline. This is quicker than trying to change yourself.

But if you do this to go around corners faster, then what you are doing is the only way to keep revs up. Or buy a manual gearbox.

Thank you! very Much! Now I have to find that normal Non-turbo R33 GTS25 skyline has RE4R01A trannies which means, they are all same GTS4 or not!

I wonder if turbo GTS25T has same Trannies

also is there other number after the serieal number like;

RE4R01A RC43

cheers

Joe

If you go to page 11 in the "The Sky Is The Limit" pdf file floating around the SDU forum it lists the transmission details as follows:

RE4R01A 4 speed auto

RE4R07A 4 speed auto

RE5R01A 5 speed auto

FS5R30A 5 speed manual

FS5W7 5 speed manual GTS

Apparently the "RC43" is the axle type.

Cheers,

Blake

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
