R34GTT AT Vs 5MT?

[SKY33]

Hey all,

Im considering getting rid of my S14 200sx 5spd and updrading to a R34 GTT.

The R34 AT are a triptronic type yes?. Basically a clutchless manaul? How is this on shifting, is it instant, better than the R33 auto's? Any one have an AT R34GTT?

Thanks

My last car was a tiptronic. I got it back in '99 when the whole Tiptronic thing was still quite new and I thought it'd be great. It sucked ass - seriously. Just get a manual.

tiptronic will always sux ass. It will never be as direct or fun to drive as a manual.

[SKY33]

but lets saying comparing to an R33 Auto.....any advantages?........is there a bitof a price diff between the auto and manaul?....i wanna spend around 30K

Sky33, only one person can decide if the auto (tiptronic or not) sucks ass... and that's you.

Go and drive one of each and make your own decision.

( That's what God invented car yards for )

From what i've found from BMW's, they are quick on the up shift, but a little slow on the down shift. Change gear real quickly going up, but when coming to a corner, from say 4th to 2nd, it takes a little while. But that's what SMG II is for, changes gear in 80 milliseconds!

But if we're talking R34 GT-T's, i'd be going for the manual personally. If u'r doing a lot of city stop/start driving, maybe the auto might be more friendly.

I will never for an Auto if i am going to get a sport car. Auto means Family car to me. Anyway ALL Auto car shifting is SUCK except for SMG2.

sports cars that are auto are for girls or soft **** guys!

I looked, they sucked, I bought manual....

never driven a tip tronic car. but i drove ma bro's new mrS spider. that has the full sync box in it. its fun the same feel as a manual, nice to hold flat and go thought the gear. but seems to change gears a little too slowly. also the other problem is the gear box doesnt have the power rating needed for any serious mods.

The E46 M3 is actually a manual with a sequential shifter, not an auto. There is a clutch working the gearbox but is controlled by either the gearshift (up and down) or the paddles on the wheel. On the harshest setting, the changes will take place in 80 milliseconds.

Go the manual!!

Hey ppls

Tiptronic is simply an automatic gearbox with a naff little selector.

Same drive and all of an auto.

A CLUTCHLESS MANUAL or CLUTCHLESS SEQUENCIAL is that shit though. Like the M3 BMW or the Lamboghini E-Gear, or the Enzo Ferrari type gearboxes. 80ms change!!! nice.

If you buy a tiptronic, its just an auto.

If you want to speak with someone on here that has an R34 GTT Tiptronic - PM Assassin, he has one, he's in Melbourne too!

The tiptronic should be cheaper than a 5spd, from what I have gathered over the years Auto is Standard in Japan and manual is actually an optional extra - exactly the opposite to OZ.
