That's irrelevant. We're talking 90's Skylines, not modern day GTRs. Obviously the way the worlds headed automatic transmissions have been come quicker than human manual shifting.

please show me where id grab one for that

Ive had a few come through wanting quick sales, overseas students returning home. one was 10k with a blown diff....... if wasn't just about to leave for the usa i would have grabbed it.

Another customer just bought a black auto for 16k, needed slight paint work as clear had peeled on front guards and bonnet... $600 in paint.

Manual is a pain in the arse in stop start peak hour traffic but heaps of fun on weekends around the twisty mountain roads. In fact soooo much fun it's worth the pain. What to do.. cant afford a weekend sports car and an auto daily so just have to live with it for the moment.

I actually prefer driving a manual as my daily. As long as it's not a button clutch, it doesn't bother me driving a manual in traffic.

Each to their own.

The only manual I wouldn't get sick of driving in stop start traffic is something with a ton of low down torque and nice short gears. In a Skyline, having to keep the revs up with a button clutch, only to put the clutch back on for braking as soon as you have released it - sucks! And wears out the thrust bearing very quickly!

^ Was talking about start stop traffic. Linear power delivery, big torque down low and nice short gears.
