Own one auto and own one manual...both make you appreciate the other.

When I was minding Alvin's car, it was bliss for daily driving. Then I'd get in my car and it felt like a sports car / weekender again, not a daily as I used it before.

Driving a RWD will make me a sexual Tyrannosaurus? lol

hell yes it does!

the only thing driving an auto makes you appreciate is penis

Hand over the keys to me :P

Lol :P

How long between starts?

Mine goes flat after 2-3 weeks (gel battery) so I suspect an electrical fault somewhere?

Well I haven't driven it more than 2kms in maybe a month - started it once a week - though went to start it on Sunday and was flat, jumped it - went to start it today and flat again lol - though I only let it idle on Sunday - probably should of taken it for a bit of a drive..

how much quicker?

Well here's some of the 1/4 times for the 5.0s as you can see fair bit of difference.

HP-0351........ 12.92 @ 113.99mph. Manual GT.

Rockape........ 13.40 @ 108mph. Manual GS.

Generally just over half a sec which is a fair bit when down in times like these, I think the effect is even worst when they're modded / more power in them. You can also see how the GTs have a better tune from factory than the GS's in the stock comparisons.

This list hasn't been updated in ages though. One guy in a manual GT is really trying to break into the 10s hard and just cant do it, he has like 450rwkw or something lol 11.1s I think best he has got.

Only had a tune and slicks, CRAZY to get 11.3 with only that.

Once you start getting into the really fast times, autos reign superior in the straight line race; always have always will.

This man speaks the truth

Also why all the tuner shops got auto ones lol

There was a bloke at High School who we always gave crap to because he drove around in his mums car and pretended it was his own.

We'd call it the "Baby Blue Honda Jazz"... and without fail he'd always yell "It's ICE BLUE!!!!" and when we gave him crap about it being auto, he'd say that autos were faster at the drag strip... *shakes head slowly*

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
