thanks, I think ill go with suspension first and definitely manual ive always had a manual so I think ill continue that. ill admit I loved my gtr alot but wasnt a great daily because I worried about it all the time and now I can see why to have an unmarked tow truck with no number plates to rock up and put it on the back and drive off to never see it again was a heart breaking experience that I dont want to go through again. so I think one of these will be a great daily plus have fun on the track and skidpan and eventually get another gtr as my second car. thanks for your help so far guys I really appreciate it. scott.

thanks mate, I understand the handling wont be like a gtr but im hoping it doesnt feel loose, I like my steering to be tight and direct. the only reason im saying this is because my parents used to have a ford BA model and I didnt like driving that because I could wobble the wheel around and the car wouldnt react and it felt very floaty. if I do go exhaust it will be a full turbo back system. also I agree with you I will be going with a manual forsure.

hi everyone my name is scott and im a member of skylines australia. ok so I used to own a skyline r34 gtt then for 10 months I owned a very nice r34 gtr which got professionally stolen a few weeks ago :( now I have been paid out so I have money for a new car which is why I have come here to get some help about these typhoons. Ive been looking at plenty of cars and thinking of going something a bit different so here comes the questions: 1. whats the handling really feel like eg. does the steering feel instant or floaty? I know it weighs about 200kg more than my old car so was wondering does it really feel heavy? I was going to buy tein coilovers and swaybars for it anyway which should help. 2. is it true that if you put an aftermarket exhaust on it you have to get it tuned? because on my skyline you didnt have to it would just run a bit more rich. 3. im probably going to go with manual but is the auto really that good and better then the manual? thanks everyone if you have anything else to add about these cars please post I appreciate it. thanks. scott.
