Manual for me!!

Though drive my parents SS sometimes which is auto.. and thats still fun.. though i use the 'manual gear selection' insted, or power button:P hehe either of the two

I also noticed when heading in or out of corners it wasnt as good as manual, as its to hard to get the gears/rpm right. maybe it just takes lots and lots of practise

Manual. I think i'd fall asleep if i had to drive an auto. There just crap, full stop. They are for towing and hardcore drag racing, and double amputees.

Autos better for city driving? Nah, you guys are just slack. :mad: I love changing gears.

i have 2 32s both are autos, my wife car is getting converted to a manual.

but she doent have 2 drive on the m1 everyworking day . the auto mayb a little slower but a hi flowed turbo takes care of that

Manual here,

i had a auto in my r33 for around 9 months and it was good

but powering around corners at speed, and then it changes gear on ya, is abit annoying

and not knowin when its goin to kick ya out.

just got my r33 changed to manual and have noticed more responsiveness in the manual and gained power

auto 166.9rwkw on 10psi

manual 170.1rwkw on 8 psi and a slippin clutch so had more to go.

the slippage clutch problem has been solved for now.

also im moddin my car abit, and was tryin to find an ecu to suit the auto and the power im wantin

i couldnt find shit, unless i went for a piggyback or a safc or something like that

later on i might be replacing clutches and stuff, but whoopee doo, its more fun to drive

i have more control over the car, can whack it down a gear when i want

Only thing i loved about the auto is burnouts, and traffic driving, and being able to have a drink while driving haha !!!

I drive an auto R33.

If I had a choice I'd go manual (went auto for budget reasons) but auto is very relaxing to drive and to use the RB25DET power in traffic is just like an on/off switch.

The worst thing about getting an auto R33 is that aftermarket computers (eg PowerFC) don't accomodate for auto gearboxes.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
