If Skyline Was Auto

[streetboyz]

hi guys if nissan skyline R33 was auto and now manual is it ok 2 buy or best 2 buy one that came out with manual.?.

and ABS good 2 have or not good 2 have.?

1. Depends if the conversion was done with quality parts and finished properly, not just dodgied in someones shed. Not to say that because it's a backyard job it's necessarily bad or that a workshop is necessarily going to be good but suss it all out. Ask about receipts etc.

2. Dependant on what it is being used for and how good (not confident) a driver you are, have you previously owned vehicles without ABS?

[streetboyz]

ok thanks i will ask about the receipts and i want 2 use it as a drift car

[streetboyz]

but do not know how the ABS will go with drifting

[lachlanw]

make sure it has a 25t gear box in it and not a rb20 or a comme box or something

have a look at some pictures of the 2 and ill soon become obvious how to tell them apart

dont like abs ? pull the relay out when your at the track

[streetboyz]

how do you pull the relay out... and where is it on skyline R33 thanks

[streetboyz]

here are some picz of the gear stick

Gearsticks don't tell us much mate...get a picture of the underneath of the car.

[streetboyz]

oh ok thanks i was just talking 2 the guy that owns it. and he said it was never auto. my bad. but he said there a shift kit in it is that good

[Birds]

Shift kit is an automatic transmission modification...maybe he was talking about a short shifter, which reduces the throw of the gearstick in a manual.

[streetboyz]

yer that short shifter is that good

[Birds]

They're designed for people who believe there is lost time to gain in the 10-20 milliseconds it takes you to change gears in a hurry, or people with tyrannosaurus rex arms. Some just like the feel of it though. Will technically wear out the synchros faster, but nothing to really worry about as long as you drive it smoothly / take care of the gearbox.

[streetboyz]

ok im lost

[streetboyz]

if you do not like it can you take it out

[Birds]

Yes you can put in the normal shifter. If you haven't driven a Skyline before you won't notice the difference anyway, don't stress about it.

[streetboyz]

ok thanks man
