The few cars ive driven with any form of tiptronic transmission ive been very dissapointed in, but they were mostly things like colt vrx's and stuff lol

i still think a proper manual is far superior :)

but its a decent compromise i guess.

Ill send the guy a fb msg n let u no thumbsup.gif

Yeah ive driven a v8 ford ute with a tiptronic thing too and it was really slow to react. I would much rather manual but if i cant find one i'll still be happy to settle with a tiptronic if its any good.

Jonno, you'll never buy another car lol.

Oh and tiptronic is for teh wimenz.

ill get there someday haha

got 2 VTEC Civics maybe for sale by some JDMWA members - but their only maybe for sale at this point - i have to try to convince owners after my exams finish thumbsup.gif

there havent been any manual EG's for sale on gumtree while ive been on exams - hopefully therell be some new ones by the time i finish :)

and brads 34 is tiptronic :P

Edited by Jonno34

I have now learnt not all auto 34's are tipronic, but i think most of them are. Still on the lookout and nothing is really shouting out at me yet. I think im gonna have to make do with a tiptronic instead of manual, which has pro's and con's like everything, but im not too phased by that really. I'd just be stoked to own one at all

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
