hows the auto r33 going for ya? ever think about converting it into a manual ?

Auto is great - love the driveability, the quickness off the line without wheelspin & also the money i will save on clutches when i start racing it down the quarter!!!

So 2 answer ur question NO, i have never & will never think about converting it 2 a manual - wish more ppl could realise the benefits.

For the drag strip, the auto is king, manuals can still have a good run down the strip

For circuit, manuals are king, and i would hate to think how an auto goes around a track...

In traffic the auto would be much better, but the overall control of the car goes downhill with an auto, less in control...

Paintjobs different, i'll give you that... but the wheels ruin it...

i agree with u 100%, i hear what ur saying.

i like most ppl understand the benefits of a manual, but most ppl do not understand the benefits of an auto.

2 put it in perspective - i hear often "r u going 2 convert it to a manual" i would never ever hear if it was a manual "r u going 2 convert it to an auto"

the conclusion is most ppl think a manual is better, i disagree, that's all

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
