when you learn on a manual.. you ACTUALLY lear how to drive

unlike just getting your steering lisence (read: Auto)

its scary to think how people (mainly people who have driven auto, and never manual) think its just as easy as throwing a moveable gear selector and clutch into the equation... its far more difficult then that

nce you get the hang of it its alot easy, sure .. but you then have to pracice and become good

i certainly wouldnt suggest trying to drive a manual with absolutly no experience in a controlled environament

I disagree. Sure u learn how to change gears but u should be concertrating on other things like where the traffic is and which lane ure in etc etc.

Driving is not just about making a car move around its about the people around you who are generally doing retarded things at strange times. I cant remeber how many times ive seen p plater that have no idea whats going on in the lane next to them unitl they decide to change lanes in a less than delicate swerving manouver. Man i hate p platers. Then again the majority of ppl in perth cant drive anyway.

Auto lic for 6months to a year sounds good to me. learn to walk before you run.

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to come I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
