Thats a devilishly handsome driver.

Yeah umm ok err....

i was a bit surprised with going full manual on the auto. surely the zd30 patrols used a stand alone controller? or is the 4.5 auto not the re4r03a? (i think that's the model. 03a anyway) won't having to shift it manually get old fast? surely there'd be a way to keep normal auto operation and have the tranny live?

If you listen Al does explain it

If you listen Al does explain it

he explains not using the 4.5 computer or buying a $$$$$ controller. there's a few nissans out there (even some diesels) which have a stand alone controller which only really requires a tps input from the engine, and there's a bolt on solution for that. this is assuming it's got the '03a trans. which the 4.5 may not. i'm just curious is all.

[Crais]

he also explains that its not a big enough deal for him to be bothered.

I did mention that the previous job I did replacing a ZD30 with td42 would not operate properly even with the factory engine control ecu still operating. Spent a million hours on it for nothing. Others have done it with TB ecus and they don't shift at the right rpm and slurr shifts. Manual shifting is no big deal at all.

Most factory auto ECUs are stupid with their shift points anyway, manual control is a better solution even if you could get the ECU to work properly.

Gayest episode ever, even without the nut-to-butt action.

I swear if these blokes ever pick up some syphilis from a Tokyo knock shop, they will rave about it as if it's the best thing ever, because JDM!


On a brighter note, I give the most recent episode of The Skid factory a 10/10.

Gayest episode

Must have fruit in ya boots mate

Did you purposely get the engine/wheel assy. sent separately or is that just how it came?

Potentially smart move if it was intentional!

[bbits_elements]

Was that an MCM episode?

[Gary2JZ]

It had a shed skid, which ironically is more shed skids than almost every episode of the Skid Factory.

Bad Obsession Motorsport has mentioned MCM as a potential crossover episode in their latest vid. Now that would be awesome.
