Manual for me!!

Though drive my parents SS sometimes which is auto.. and thats still fun.. though i use the 'manual gear selection' insted, or power button:P hehe either of the two

I also noticed when heading in or out of corners it wasnt as good as manual, as its to hard to get the gears/rpm right. maybe it just takes lots and lots of practise

Manual. I think i'd fall asleep if i had to drive an auto. There just crap, full stop. They are for towing and hardcore drag racing, and double amputees.

Autos better for city driving? Nah, you guys are just slack. :mad: I love changing gears.

i have 2 32s both are autos, my wife car is getting converted to a manual.

but she doent have 2 drive on the m1 everyworking day . the auto mayb a little slower but a hi flowed turbo takes care of that

Manual here,

i had a auto in my r33 for around 9 months and it was good

but powering around corners at speed, and then it changes gear on ya, is abit annoying

and not knowin when its goin to kick ya out.

just got my r33 changed to manual and have noticed more responsiveness in the manual and gained power

auto 166.9rwkw on 10psi

manual 170.1rwkw on 8 psi and a slippin clutch so had more to go.

the slippage clutch problem has been solved for now.

also im moddin my car abit, and was tryin to find an ecu to suit the auto and the power im wantin

i couldnt find shit, unless i went for a piggyback or a safc or something like that

later on i might be replacing clutches and stuff, but whoopee doo, its more fun to drive

i have more control over the car, can whack it down a gear when i want

Only thing i loved about the auto is burnouts, and traffic driving, and being able to have a drink while driving haha !!!

I drive an auto R33.

If I had a choice I'd go manual (went auto for budget reasons) but auto is very relaxing to drive and to use the RB25DET power in traffic is just like an on/off switch.

The worst thing about getting an auto R33 is that aftermarket computers (eg PowerFC) don't accomodate for auto gearboxes.

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
