That's irrelevant. We're talking 90's Skylines, not modern day GTRs. Obviously the way the worlds headed automatic transmissions have been come quicker than human manual shifting.

please show me where id grab one for that

Ive had a few come through wanting quick sales, overseas students returning home. one was 10k with a blown diff....... if wasn't just about to leave for the usa i would have grabbed it.

Another customer just bought a black auto for 16k, needed slight paint work as clear had peeled on front guards and bonnet... $600 in paint.

Manual is a pain in the arse in stop start peak hour traffic but heaps of fun on weekends around the twisty mountain roads. In fact soooo much fun it's worth the pain. What to do.. cant afford a weekend sports car and an auto daily so just have to live with it for the moment. :D

The only manual I wouldn't get sick of driving in stop start traffic is something with a ton of low down torque and nice short gears. In a Skyline, having to keep the revs up with a button clutch, only to put the clutch back on for braking as soon as you have released it - sucks! And wears out the thrust bearing very quickly!

I hear ya. I drove a Skyline with a button clutch in peak hour traffic on the freeway once. I was about ready to kill someone lol.

    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
