I never cease to be amazed by these cars.. I have recenetly (yesterday) taken a 1993 twin turbo auto in part exchange against my wide-arch manual TT, its got a chipped ecu & boost controller.. I cannot believe how rapid it is!!

I've always thought I would only ever want manual zeds, and that's all I've had until now (TT & NA), but I've changed my mind.. These auto's are amazing.. The pick-up is outstanding.. And kick-down is awsome.. GREAT fun to drive :)

ive got a n/a auto when i first bought within the first few days i was thinkin of convertin to manual but am definetly gonna leave alone

 

the kick down is quick and smooth (unlike some other auto's iv'e had)

 

and i love the power /hold/at modes

 

(i think that's just an auto feature right ?)

:rolleyes:

i had a 1992 auto and got paul at swz to fit a chip and filter and boost jets and to be fare it was very quick always put a huge smile on my face and pretty much was quicker than most cars !!

It gets up to 100mph+ very quickly on my private track ;)

I haven't tried the power/hold switch on the auto box yet :)

i love my auto, power delivery is amazin a batters everything ive come up against now ive learnt how to launch it, would never convert to manual.

Have one of each :D

 

The auto is alot more smoother to drive and the manual more agresive. i think the extra pull could be down to the little extra boost???

Thats what Brian said to me before he went out in mine ;)

Hey trance, How do you launch yours off the line any tips.

prob does the car no good but press down hard on the brakes with left foot, rev car to 2000/3000/4000, let go of brakes and try to keep back end straight, flys out the traps!! its great fun.

Many moons ago when the only mods I had on my Z was the SE fast road box a Blitz filter, SE chip, and a Mongoose pipe it kicked every manual z into touch and thats a fact.If you have a good box then they do take some beating.

Totally agree.

 

I used to Sell 300zx's when they were new and I had about 7 or 8 different cars both Manual and Auto.

 

The best drive.................The Auto!

 

The gear box is like a sling shot!

 

Love it. Quicker 0-100 too!!
