Skyline V35 Coupe 04 Auto Triptonic How To Change Gear Newbie

[skyichigo]

Sory for posting such newbie question, but guess I'll got to start from base with this car.

I just got my 04 V35 coupe 2 days ago, and was stuck on how to use the triptonic features.

It has (+) and (-) and I am not sure how to use it.

Any advise anyone? thanks

when in triptonic mode just the + to go up in gears and the - to go down,looks good in red but do one thing loose the shopin list off the door

for one thig its not a toyota why would ya put a trd sticker on a nissan

Yup, its my bad, bought wrong sticker.. so just put on (+), and is it just 1 time or I had to go up everytime I want to change to 2nd to 3rd gear like a manual car? Thanks

Each time u push the shifter up or down it goes up or down 1 gear. so if u want to to from 1st to 2nd push + once to go back push - once.

Car looks really nice, imo 19inch inital D white rims on the red and lose the stickers Vs are not ment to be super cars like the GTRs more of a show pony/cruser unless ur like cobey and build it to destroy all.

huge FAIL for those stickers esp that TuRD sticker

WOW

I was down at the TAB this afternoon putting some money on West Coast Vs Carlton and saw that Skyichgo is running at $1.01 to wrap his nice new TRD Skyline around a tree before he is old enough to drink!

Seriously though, does anyone else think that it is crazy for a young kid who cant figure out that + goes up a gear and - goes down a gear can afford a $25,000 car??? What happened to the good ole' days where you scraped together $2000 (if you were lucky!) and bought a piece of crap that had to be bump started every cold morning???

Its nothing personal against Skyichgo, but it scares me to think that there are people driving around in these relatively high powered cars at that age. Then again I'm probably just jealous because I can imagine the amount of "you know what" he will be getting in that car when I generally had the ladies pushing the car down the street so that I could take them home lol.

I just re-read my last post and changed my mind, it is actually something personal against you Skyichgo, take the damn TRD stickers off your car before someone punches you in the face on the street. You do realize that what you have done to that car is the exact reason that every bogan in an SS Ute gives Japanese cars crap?? Your not in Tokyo Drift or Initial D and Brembo is not paying you money to advertise their products so why pretend they are???

^^ I am sticking to my original thought that it must be school holidays, and someone is bored and making up stories about owning a V35.

lol...I think that you need a pair of new glasses, or probably stop gambling mate, it ruins your brain that you can't differentiate who is who .. just piece of advise..

Bought wrong sticker?

Do you know anything about cars? Honestly, you bought an imported car and don't know TRD is for Toyota, and how to change gears in tiptronic mode (which is available in a Commo or Falcon now). Riiiiiight. +1 for troll.

FYI, school holidays begin next week.

Thx mate, just realized that it does shows on the dash screen

With the rims, I was thinking paint the wheels black.. as bigger rims f**k the engine ... thats my own old school opinion anyway, will consider it later.. and also with the stickers, I realized that I bought wrong one, no big deal.. I probably tear it down when I am bored..said in next 2-3 weeks lol,

[M34N]

<WTF> as bigger rims f**k the engine </WTF>

Say what?

Honestly , I bought other parts and ask the seller just to give me free door sticker, and apparently I didn't know anything about TRD shit.. so that's -1 for me.. and tiptronic... is also -1 for me, as I said I am newbie.. but that's the reason I am joining this forums to get well-educated by you (all the pros here).

I prefer being stupid about things I didn't know rather being a smartass (but dumb inside)

[skyichigo]

how small is your screen? can't you read between the lines?

[Alkatraz]

Skyichigo, I have a set of 6 inch wheel barrow wheels that I was actually going to save for when I put 3 superchargers on my engine. I was told by a mate who sat in a car one time that Isami Amemiya uses them on all of his performance engines in Japan and swears that they help protect the engine when you're running 75psi. I will send you some pictures of his Touge Monster V8 RX7, its a tough looking machine but not as tough as his TRD R39 GTR V-Spec 3.

I have changed my mind and will leave the car stock for now but I can slap a few Ferrari Decals on them and do you a deal if you like? They cost me $6000 but I'll let you have them for $5000.

Also, with the stickers that you noticed where the wrong ones but still put on the car anyway, be careful when you take them off because you can completely mess up the handling of the car.

Simple internet/forum search will cover all your questions anyway, so to come on here and ask these questions when they are already covered is kind of redundant anyway.

As for the 'bigger rims f**k the engine' comment, care to elaborate to one of the 'pros' how that works? That one really has me intrigued, for someone who doesn't know how to change a gear in a tiptronic, or what TRD means, you seem to be very knowledgeable on the mechanical side of things.

I know, and that's why I put " it's my own opinion for my own car". I don't said you can't put big one on your loved one , mate. We don't share same chick with same boobies size, right? I might like small one, and you might like big one?

You still haven't explained your logic behind that comment. Your opinion is that 'bigger rims f**k the engine', care to elaborate on HOW that occurs?

There is a difference between opinion and fact.
