My millennials don't, my millennials get cars bought for them.

Bloody kids.

Imagine all the, holidays with the Mrs, all the cool cars and bikes I could have if I stopped feeding, clothing and supporting my 3 financial burdens.

In other news.....a guy at work got a new Corolla hatch, after taking it for a spin, and thinking how comfortable and nippy the car was, I went into a state of depression, you really know your getting old when a auto Corolla seems like an attractive purchase.

Its all about the market my friend!

A normal daily commuter car (95% of cars that have ever existed) - Yes Autos are more expensive, cause its in demand and theres a broad market.

90s Jap car - Manual will always be more expensive - its an enthusiast market, its our toy, not an A - B essential. Also a 90s manual is faster than a 90s/00s auto.

Well this is bullsh*t. I've got four cars (down from 5). Millennials all have cars. It's the generation after us that doesn't bother.

To my understanding automatics are worth more than manuals. But every manual head seems to think otherwise. Prove to me why you are right. Ill start the debate off with the fact that automatic transmissions have more parts. Are more advanced in tech. And more expensive to produce overall. So how would a manual akyline be worth more than an auto lol. And autos have tiptronic. Best of both worlds.

Well as far as an auto r33 goes, lets just say the most excitement you'll have is flicking that overdrive switch on and off

      Pillar gauges

      See, that button sounds like perfection Duncan! My eyes really don't like light shining at them from a dash when I'm driving. Being part red colourblind, I've found for most cars that I can change colours on, I set everything to red, so my eyes see the elast amount of colour! I miss normal gauges in cars

      bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 🙂  I know what it looks like

      Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
