Some R34 Questions

[Muges180]

ok well im new to skylines (owned an s14 and currently a 180) and someone is keen to swap an auto 4 door 34 gtt for my car and some money. Im a bit concerned about the km's. its a 1999 with 150,000 ks or there abouts but is pretty much stock and never run more than stock boost. should i be concerned about such high k's on a 34?

also how are the tiptronic autos. it has the paddle shift. anyone had any experiences with these?

thanks

triptronic sucks balls

if the car is good , in good condition , well looked after then kms are ok if the price is good

I absolutely love my tiptronic R34 - the only people who don't like them are ones who haven't driven them

Never again stall at the lights or stuff up your launch, never miss a gear again, you can change gears in the middle of a corner when hammering through the hills without your hand leaving the wheel, rev out longer in each gear, etc etc.

And I haven't done the valve body upgrade yet, but this makes the gear changes even quicker and harder. Add an uprated stall converter and no manual will come even close to keeping up with you with the same power.

Plus you can drive like a nanna when you want to just putt around in full auto mode.

hmm looks like you may have made up my mind. well still yet to see this car so lets hope its in good nick. still a little concerned about k's but it has been running stock boost all its life and is pretty much totally standard

I have had a triptronic and manaul 34. Triptronics are nice, but the shift just didn't really do it for me. I much prefer the manual. If your happy with triptronic buy one, but make sure you don't just take other peoples word for how good they are as it might not suit your driving style.

Tiptronic's good mate! Gets off the line bloody quick too. I was specifically after the tiptronic when hunting for a car.. i do mainly city driving. Now time to get a MV shift kit for it and burn some tread
