Why is that Noel?

It might improve your 14.2 second pass mate.

There are plenty of serious sports cars that are auto. Some people want a car that goes and looks good but might be disabled and need an auto or just want to take it aesy most of the time. Should we discriminate against them because you and the Magna Legend say so? Have a read about the guy in WA that wants to auto an R32 GTR N1. Best of luck to him.

More highly technical and seriously thought out advice form yet another knowledgeable individual

i love this thread when i want a bit of fun i put the switch into power mode and drive the auto like a manual have left many a manual sitting at the lights doing this

Thats cause most people cannot launch...i'd like to see an std auto beat a std manual off the lights if the manual car has a good driver...i highly doubt the auto would have a chance

so do you think you could get a stock auto skyline to run a faster pass than a stock manual?

I used to own a twin turbo manual supra and i still own a 180sx manual I love my manuals but i own a Auto R33 as a daily driver and i have never been owned by a manual skyline, Actually dragged a friends one exact same power exact same hi flow and similar mods except he had the power fc when i was running the SAFC2 and the SITC and he got me off the line Just then i pull away. I understand its not as fun as a Manual and no sportscar should be auto. but untill all you manual lovers actually drive an auto skyline with abit of work then i wouldnt talk, im with GTR geoff everyone has always got a bias opinition but how many of you guys has actually been in an Auto Skyline?

id be up for that challenge :rofl:

Auto at the strip, while I'm left foot braking and bringing revs on the stall converter should have a decent jump on a manual due to less effort in the launch sequence. I'd back the auto for eight out of 10 passes while the manual driver is lighting up or bogging down.

Pity I sold the auto now.

Why is it that everyone that pulls out the e-wang then has to resort to "it has to be stock"? Who keeps a Skyline stock?

So when you coming to dinner with us on tuesday nights?

Why is it that everyone that pulls out the e-wang then has to resort to "it has to be stock"? Who keeps a Skyline stock?

cause that is the easiest to compare. if you start talking modified cars then unless all the mods are done by the same person, using the same brand parts that are 100% identical then 1 may be more upgraded than the other.

well going by whats been stated in regards to the manual actually coming from factory with a higher boost level than the auto, you could only hope it would win..... now both manual and auto stock but with identical boost pressures.. now talk to me.... and my reply is based on information givin in this thread !.!

You can when the opinion is unwarranted, uneducated and untrue.

Saying an auto is crap or sports cars should never be an auto is just biased ignorance, and not valid opinion. Voice the opinion when you can support it with why it should be so. Not a one liner that is really irrelevant.

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
