I Need Some V35 Advice!

[Putty]

Hi Everyone, I've decided to get back into skylines, I'm thinking V35 coupe. As I'm only familiar with RB's, is there any advice you can give me?

It sounds like they're a VERY good car.

Really nice car to drive lots of comfort options its deff a s showpony tho not ment for speed as it does not come in a turbo option if you want forced induction be prepaired to drop 15k for a rebuild to do it right. I would reccomend one as a daily drive they are good on fuel compaird to ur commonwhore or falcon nice to drive long distences, i do about 150km a day in mine from the coast down to sydney for work def beats the train.

Would you stay away from tiptronic? I don't see the point in a manual

did I miss something, don't think he said anything about the auto?

but that said, I owned an auto for 13 years, it is bliss to be driving a manual again..

100% agree with this. Mine is the auto/trip i now wish that i didnt listen to my father and bought a manual lol, altho the auto is good for city driving with the stop start traffic as mine is a daily but when ur on a cruse you do miss the manual so its just upto what you are going to use the car for, the triptronic needs s shift kit for faster shifts i find that mine takes about 2-3 secconds to change gears when going flat out.

a 2-3 second delay is probably more the TCU delaying the shift rather than the transmission internals, if so, a shift kit won't fix it.

Actually the Transgo shift kit does fix the delay. You will probably do a 'chirpy' when manually changing up in lower gears (if foot is flat or close to it). M35 drivers are raving over the kit. One of the best mods to do & it appears to help economy slightly, when your not having too much fun that is.
