Hey all...!

I'm looking to get a Skyline r33 Gts25-t only problem is i'm on my Ps atm but i see heaps of em running around with p plates wacked on em do you think this'll be a problem??

Another thing i've seen on some of the R34s a Manual/auto gear shift.. you know the ones without the clutch??

You start at auto and if you want swtich to manual just with an up down motion for moving geras... can you get them manual instaled on an r33 or does that have to come made with the car??

last thing is ... got any suggestions on where to get good deals on cars and where good places to do em up are... in terms of pricing and quality:D

well, firstly, i dont think you will have a problem unless you break the law... but when you do, you stick out like a sore thumb in a skyline with p plates.. so be careful chirping up tires etc, especially in busy areas.

The tiptronic is just an auto that lets you manually change gears. Its no quicker / better than any other plain auto. I have driven most tiptronics available and find them all pretty shit. Yet to test the BMW m3 tho ;)

If your looking for a manual S1 r33, you can buy mine :)

the steptronic in the BMW's are really quite good. Won't always listen to what u want to do if u reving it around 6000-6500rpm, say if ur going 100km/hr and u want to go back to 2nd gear, it won't change straight away. But that's an extreme example, normally driven, they will respond fine. Oh...and they change so quick, i could never change a manual as quick. I reckon they're a lot of fun....yeah it's for ppl who can't drive a manual, but also for ppl who can but can't be bothered. These a mainly business type ppl cars we're talking bout here, so in the city and stuff i guess a manual would sh*t u to tears after a little. The steptronic just alows u to have the kick there from the car, no matter what speed ur at.

BMW M3 SMG II, oooo baby... :drooling:

well 1st to 2nd, i can never seem to change real quick, not like 2nd to 3rd, or especially 3rd to 4th. But then again, i've only got a little Nissan Pulsar, it's most probably me but i don't think my manual gearbox is the greatest.

      V37 Alarm settings and what the buttons do.

      By HYBRID VL · Posted

      I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models?

      I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again

      Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!

      curious to know what drivers you chose and the results? quik mafs, says two 6.5s should roughly equate somewhere between a single 8" or 10" driver. i agree that IB is definitely the way to go in most cars imo.

      Rear suspension upgrades

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      S13 and R32 rear suspension geometry is horrible once you lower it (which everyone does). The camber & toe out ramp is very aggressive, hence it's common for the S13 boys/girls to use a S14 or S15 subframe as the geometry is light years ahead. I'm sure the same can be done on R32s, but I don't know anyone that has done that.
