ahh dont worry just get the skyline

once you can drive an auto basic manual driving wont take long, a week or 2 and you will be fine.

the trick is in more advanced tricks like heel-toeing and that is something to learn once you have the hang of the basics

ive been driving manual ever since i started driving, have been on my learners for 1 year exactly, and its the best thing ive done, easy as anything. I started driving with my parents and stuff learning manual. Start off with an easy clutch etc and go up from there.

Get someone to give you a two hour lesson doing handbrake starts up a hill in a manual that can cope with the punishment (preferably something with a heavy clutch like a diesel landcruiser)

When you stop stalling, bunnyhopping etc you will have learned the art of driving a manual - then get the car you want :-)

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
