Not really. Some autos are f**king shit. Like the one in the bf xr6 310kw version. I changed gears around same time as him and lost no ground what so ever.

They only have 245kw, I've run against a manual in mine (michaels xr8, was pretty even race off a roll) and every gear change he dropped back a bit just from the gearbox

I rode dirt bikes from a young age (pee-wee 50 types), started off small and ended up with a 150 which I sold at 16 - rode only once every month or 2 so not too much.

Got my Ls on the 1 day course, they expect you to know how to ride and basic controls. That being said I hadn't sat on a bike for about 5 years still passed fairly easily, you'll be fine. If you're worried just do the 2 day course, seriously though don't stress its easy.

As for on the road, a bit weird at first.. just doing 80 or 100 seems like your flying. I just took it easy, didn't weave or go to the front of the lights at first. After a few months you get more comfortable, still I always wear gear and don't try to be a hero. Good fun though. Do it! :thumbsup:

lol I had a pee wee 50 too.. That's the extent of my experience. Wouldn't know how the gearing works but I'm sure I'd pick it up quick enough. I'll probably do the course they have listed as being for those with no experience..

This one was running e85 and had 340rwkw

Yeah if you haven't had experience with a bike clutch and gears definitely do the 2 day course. Because they don't go through that at all on the 1 day course. They pretty much throw you on the bike and say do some laps, don't want you ripping the clutch out and falling off the back :P

We get it man your car is like so totally fast nothing could ever keep up

For most people though its not just about going fast ie comfy ride, plush interior etc

    • Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.
    • I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...
    • Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?
    • Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.
    • Emissions, fuel consumption, heat, noise, etc. most likely.
