Must be using that brake pedal a lot huh XD

But seriously, I don't have a choice anymore. Gotta drive Auto coz of leg injuries and I miss manual big time although the best of both worlds would be a proper sequential box...never tried one but definitely contemplating it in the near future.

You gotta account for the simplicity of manual car upgrades too and it really is much much more fun than an auto any day. Even in heavy traffic, when you get bored u can just depress the clutch and get rid of some frustration by letting out a healthy amount of exhaust noise ^^

Mine's auto. I first bought the car over 2 years ago and planned to have it as a daily driver but then the modification bug bit me and so it became a weekend-only car. I wish it was manual now and my next car will be, without a doubt. I've found myself driving it a lot in tiptronic mode and its only on long, boring straights I leave it in auto mode. Sometimes it can be funny when you forget you've got it in manual mode and forget to gear up and rev the hell out of it :P

Besides, modding a manual is MUCH less painful than an auto... :)

I have 5 cars in my driveway - 4 manuals and 1 auto. My wife and daughter drive the auto and my son and I drive the manuals.

I do at least 200 km per day commuting to work and I love my manual R33 GTS-T as a daily driver.

Give me a manual any day.

I've never driven a manual with power

only excel and hilux ute.

The ute feels like driving a truck)blardy workout just driving)

Excel ya have to change gears every 5m

i guess a manual skyline would be nice to drive.

my auto box is built and is awesome(shifts so quick,sounds like a formula 1 car)

bigger stall converter works kinda like a clutch anyway

      Yeah one of the first things I out in when I started having catch can filling up issues. Still prefer to empty 1-2 times a track day rather than every session

      Compressor flow comparison table

      You'll find this link is probably more useful  Performance Turbochargers - Garrett - G GT GTX GTW Series Turbo TBG G35 1150 map may not even get added to my list depending on how it looks, the G35 1050 already is a mixed bag for making the numbers you would expect from the compressor map due to mismatch - I don't know how another 10lb/min of compressor flow is going to make that any better.   I've left out others for similar reasons as it's already getting quite big.   In terms of Precision, provide me with legit compressor maps for them and I'll do my thing   I'll add some more of the newer Xona Rotor options are they're pretty boss, I'd take a 68mm Xona over a G35 "1150" any day of the week - or Precision for that matter.

      Before you blow your car up, have you checked you've made all the correct modifications to the wiring if you're still using the RB20DE loom?   Some things to look at: The pin used for the map sensor on the RB25DET, is the same pin used on the RB20DE for the Ring Gear Crankshaft Position Sensor, no idea what you've got it plugged into now. The turbo pressure control valve solenoid you're talking about on the RB25DET, the same pin is used for the Variable Air Intake Control Valve on the RB20DE.   The factory manual has the wiring pinouts in it for you to check everything. It also has the diagnostics process to read codes out. In addition, there's a great table that shows what sensors and what actuators not functioning will relate to which signals. And Nissan confirm the as everyone else has from experience, the Solenoid being disconnected won't cause a fuel cut. However, the turbo pressure sensor being missing / wrong, WILL cause a fuel cut. https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual?fsm=Skyline%2FR34-Workshop-Manual-English.pdf

      I've been hunting info on the G Series II - this is best I have found so far(Link below). Still waiting on the G35-1150 comp map, kind of very keen   So how do we go about getting precision on that little table of yours ?   https://turbosbytm.com/sites/default/files/product/technical-info/Garrett-G-Series-II-Product_Flyer 25 30 35_1.pdf
