Nic Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Hi Conrad and Suggest you check out the classifieds section. I would also contact member Jurgen, he has imported cars for a lot of members and has a very good reputation on here, his contact details are [user=1689]HERE[/user]. You should also have a look at Whifbitz and Miami GT websites in Traders section as they both usually have cars for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ConradR Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Hi newbie here again OK, so I know what model I want RZ Now, here I come to start world war three!!! Which is better, Mannual or Auto? I hear the autos have less problems with wear on the old gear box? Or am I peeing into the wind here??

Nic Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Conrad, check out the FAQ section, this should answer a lot of your general questions. Or do a search as these subjects come up a lot, so you'll find a lot of threads devoted to the subject of which is better auto or manual. You really need to drive both and make your own mind up. The Getrag 6spd box is very strong (although some find it a little industrial) if you are going for big power the clutch becomes the weakest link. The auto box is very good also and autos tend to be slightly cheaper and easier to find. Nothing in it really just comes down to personal preference.

Guest KARacing Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Hi newbie here again OK, so I know what model I want RZ Now, here I come to start world war three!!! Which is better, Mannual or Auto? I hear the autos have less problems with wear on the old gear box? Or am I peeing into the wind here?? Hi Conrad, to here. I have both model (manual and auto) and I think both are good. Manual is more fun to drive and auto is comfortable in traffic, but if you are planning to go single turbo in one day, then choose manual because it will cost you less for modification budget.

samsupra37 Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Hi, Glad to hear you are looking to up grade to a Sup....manual always wins in my book. You might want to give Knight Racer a call they do Jap imports and usually if they find your exact car can be done in as little as 6 weeks depending on Import stuff. Tell Jo to give you a good price or you will send Sam and Greg round usually gets a good responce..... Good luck on your quest..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ConradR Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Its gonna have to be mannual then if I go for a 95+ Well if you say the mannual is more fun to drive then , mannual it will be! Its all about the fun! :littled: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told the mannual gear box can be abit clunky, but I prefer a gear that like to be slammed in, not wrapped up in cotten wool!!!!

Branners Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 defo give an auto and a manual a go, also get somebody who knows how to handle the auto to show you what it can do, they really are impressive gearboxes and on an import with the ceramic turbos they work exceptionally well with a bit of tuning.
