R34 Tiptronic :D  Not jumping with joy, nor am I balling with misery~

Reasons:

1) So other people in the family can drive it

2) About $8k off the price tag

3) Only car at the time that met my condition requirements

Agree with number 2 spend $8k on mods and eat the manual...

wtf pay that much more for a man gbox when can get conv for $2.5k

I wonder what the world statists are..

well if uve been to Europe u'll know that most of them drive manuals

manual 33 GTR VSpec

and manualised auto V8 r33 with a 3000RPM stally, id like to see ne rwd skyline manual get off the line harder... it holds it own on the circuit and makes very respectable times around Queensland Raceway and mrogan park... Im neither Girl nor spastic... And i know which ive my two cars is quicker to drive in any circumstance and it isnt R....

yeah the whole.... manuals are quicker coz u can change gears yourself thing is a load of shit, who's to say you cant f*** up a gear change or stall..... even race car drivers and pro draggers can f*** up when it comes to that..... your only human after all, so say you put a manual vs auto on the drag strip both same cars ( with gearbox difference obviously ) with the same power.... the manual driver screws up the shift therefore the auto gets a better take off and wins.... not saying this is common, but if you live in the misconception that manuals are quicker simply coz u change gears yourself your an idiot. :)

There is another thread floating around for "Automatic Shift Kits" that are proving to be the next best thing to a manual - people are saying it makes the gear changes instant.

(even more to prove your point Jar)

The wink at the end of his post should be a good indication he was taking the piss

Stooge :chairshot

i drive a tiptronic auto because i drive heaps far to work everyday and im lazy. manual is definately better and more fun though. however, I have to say in the my auto's defence the r34 tiptronic box isn't too bad it gives you a little bit more control than a r33 Auto. especially with hills driving the paddle shift is pretty good.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
