Must be using that brake pedal a lot huh XD

But seriously, I don't have a choice anymore. Gotta drive Auto coz of leg injuries and I miss manual big time although the best of both worlds would be a proper sequential box...never tried one but definitely contemplating it in the near future.

You gotta account for the simplicity of manual car upgrades too and it really is much much more fun than an auto any day. Even in heavy traffic, when you get bored u can just depress the clutch and get rid of some frustration by letting out a healthy amount of exhaust noise ^^

Mine's auto. I first bought the car over 2 years ago and planned to have it as a daily driver but then the modification bug bit me and so it became a weekend-only car. I wish it was manual now and my next car will be, without a doubt. I've found myself driving it a lot in tiptronic mode and its only on long, boring straights I leave it in auto mode. Sometimes it can be funny when you forget you've got it in manual mode and forget to gear up and rev the hell out of it :P

Besides, modding a manual is MUCH less painful than an auto... :)

I have 5 cars in my driveway - 4 manuals and 1 auto. My wife and daughter drive the auto and my son and I drive the manuals.

I do at least 200 km per day commuting to work and I love my manual R33 GTS-T as a daily driver.

Give me a manual any day.

I've never driven a manual with power

only excel and hilux ute.

The ute feels like driving a truck)blardy workout just driving)

Excel ya have to change gears every 5m

i guess a manual skyline would be nice to drive.

my auto box is built and is awesome(shifts so quick,sounds like a formula 1 car)

bigger stall converter works kinda like a clutch anyway

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
