Question on R34 tiptronic?!

[steven]

Hi mates

My friend just bought a R34 GTT Auto Tiptronic, after i went for a test drrive.we were kind of argued/discussed how to use the Tiptronic properly.?

I would say it just others auto car, when changeing the gear you don't need to put your feet off the accelerator.

However he disagreed that and said when changeing the gear it just like a MT without a clucth , you need to put your feet off the accelerator while you're changeing the gear.

So is anyone knows what is the proper process to use a Triptronic?

cheers

did you try not taking your foot off at all while changing? if you did this it probably would have been fine.

i would agree with you, as when you drive an auto you don't take it off... and tiptronic is a controlled version of auto?

meh, i'm not an expert at all so shall wait for someone who knows to reply...

Thanks rrrage, yup i did try put my foot on the accelerator while changeing gear, for the 1 -2 gears works fine, but for the 3 gear the car just like gear slipping.

e.g. when you drive a MT you release the cluch faster than you press on the accelerator!!

Anyone own a R34 Auto or knows about Tiptronic, please reply!

cheers

well having driven one of the BA model fords with their auto tiptronic version u dont have to take your foot of the accelerator as is with all auto cars whether they are tiptronic or just plain auto, that is my understanding so i shouldnt see why nissan has made it any different. When ur friend drives around he'll probably fool people into it being manual

push your pedal , dun need to take your feet off from accelerator

Ok I've got one.

You keep your foot down. Be aware that they slip a bit when the transmission is cold. It gets much crisper as it warms up.
