Tiptronic Question !!

[satanic]

I seriously think that putting it into tip-auto mode is fantastic! Especially with TCS switched off and all...

However, as zymotic has said... more time on boost, more fun, = less fuel

[ecl]

yup

ive got a tip too, no regrets since i drive daily (did 35000km in 6 months) mostly in peak traffic

drives nicely

only down point is the "slight" (very slight) delay between some shifts tho its not too bad.. planning on a shift kit when i get my car back from rebuild

[satanic]

Yeah go the tip autos!!!

i got a tip tronic 34gtt paddle shift works great in the hills. Havent had any problems with it at all. Doesn't change gears unless i want it too. fantastic in traffic seeing as i am a lazy person. just needs a shift kit from mv automatics. MORE BOOST DEFINATELY=More Petrol Used

I've bought a tiptronic 34 but plan on converting it to manual soon enough. I just figured i could do it cheaper than buying a manual One, if i play my cards right.

One thing i notice in my Stagea is that when hooning in tiptronic mode the gear change happens heaps quicker if you take yr foot off the throttle for a split second before changing gears... Kinda like a manual but without the clutch.

Its alright, but the 4-speed box in the R34 lets it down if only it was a 5speed.

Yeah, true that... 4 speed auto makes a mockery of the term "sports car" hey.

what is the red button next to the (34 GTT)shifter do? i have pushed mine down but it doesnt stay down, stuffed button syndrome?

Would be the shift lock button.

Usually you cant pull the car out of park unless the ignition is on and your foot is on the brake

The red button allows you to bypass that, need to hold it down and move the shift lever

ah right, thanks for that zebra, hoping the 34 manual (english) im getting will help me out with stuff like that!only the had the car for a short time and still learning shit about it, adjusting the height of the headlights from the inside of the car is quite a novelty
