Now is it true that triptonic skylines are slow?

I dont believe it

Slow at what? Gear changes? The upshift on the 34's about .5-1second, the downshift's pretty quick also. But a MV Auto shift kit would do wonders to the tiptronic box.

If you're wondering what's achievable.. with shift's check out video's alexcim's posted.

Now tell me that's slow.

But if you mean tiptronic line's are slower in terms of getting power to the ground.. the general power loss is around 8-10rwkw going for the auto.

the tiptronic is still an auto box, meaning greater power loss, and shifts that are similar to a manual (maybe a just a bit quicker/slower whatever, but not much in it), so in stock form i'd imagine it would be slower down the quater or on a track...

if the auto was properly built, then it would absolutely destroy the manual for quater mile performance

Straight line there ain't much between it (8-10rwkw drivetrain loss ain't too bad)... around the bendy bits.. well we've all seen enough video clips to know the auto (even in tiptronic form) doesn't cut in there.

Check out the number of quick drag nissans there with auto boxes.. some australia's fastests drag 300zx's and 200sx's are autos. Same can probably be said about skylines.

Where you hit a limiting factor is in tuning options for auto boxes... not all aftermarket ecu manufacturers support tiptronics (e.g. PowerFC). So guess you'll have deal with that when you start making some serious power.

My R34 is Tiptronic and I only drive it in tiptronic mode, not as fun or controllable as a manual but better than auto. Who else has been in auto mode and thought they were in tiptronic mode shifting up to neutral only to hear that horrible free rev and think they have broken the auto, then embarrassingly realise what you have done :D

LOL i've done that once. I'm with you, for normal driving i always leave it in tiptronic and change through the steering wheel - it's just nicer to be in control most of the time.

I always drive my 34 in Tiptronic mode. and YES have accidently shifted to Neutral when in normal... its not a good feeling is it.. but overall its not too bad... I have heard all about MV being able to work wonders on the boxes... I love it when your stuck in peak hour traffic.. just shift it to auto mode...

tip isn't that shit...auto isn't as shit as every1 reckons...I have both and they both have their advantages.

I gotta say I love to drive the tip after driving back in peak hour with my twin plate...

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
