Muges180 Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 ok well im new to skylines (owned an s14 and currently a 180) and someone is keen to swap an auto 4 door 34 gtt for my car and some money. Im a bit concerned about the km's. its a 1999 with 150,000 ks or there abouts but is pretty much stock and never run more than stock boost. should i be concerned about such high k's on a 34? also how are the tiptronic autos. it has the paddle shift. anyone had any experiences with these? thanks Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/163714-some-r34-questions/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightcrawler Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 I absolutely love my tiptronic R34 - the only people who don't like them are ones who haven't driven them Never again stall at the lights or stuff up your launch, never miss a gear again, you can change gears in the middle of a corner when hammering through the hills without your hand leaving the wheel, rev out longer in each gear, etc etc. And I haven't done the valve body upgrade yet, but this makes the gear changes even quicker and harder. Add an uprated stall converter and no manual will come even close to keeping up with you with the same power. Plus you can drive like a nanna when you want to just putt around in full auto mode.

mxtcy Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I have had a triptronic and manaul 34. Triptronics are nice, but the shift just didn't really do it for me. I much prefer the manual. If your happy with triptronic buy one, but make sure you don't just take other peoples word for how good they are as it might not suit your driving style.

Howie Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Tiptronic's good mate! Gets off the line bloody quick too. I was specifically after the tiptronic when hunting for a car.. i do mainly city driving. Now time to get a MV shift kit for it and burn some tread Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/163714-some-r34-questions/#findComment-3041819 Share on other sites More sharing options...
