Auto? GOOD or BAD

[DCCustomz]

I bought 2 240's pretty cheap! the only problem is they are both automatic!! What do my fellow Nismo Niggas think! Good or Bad

it's your car, don't you have an opinion on the subject? I know what my preferance is, but what the hell do you care what I think?

[BIGT94z]

well u can do a swap on one and then have an extra auto transmission for the other....i say good bc of the whole CHEAP part

[BOOMSHAKALAKA]

Use the automatic for the drag strip and use the manual for drifting.

[DCCustomz]

Well, I actually just bought a SR20DET really cheap too!! you would sh@t if you knew how much!!!!! neway, I will most likely swap one to auto! but, couldn't you still drift in an AUTO??????

yes you can drift an auto...but its takes a bit more skill than a manual.

and how much was the sr?

[Red coupe]

I dunno that I would say it takes "more skill" but it takes knowing how to do it in an auto vs a manual..

pretty much all OEM autos suck alot compaired to manual....I even have driven manualy shifted auto's (granted it was a toyota) and they suck....waiting for it to get to stall speed is lame, throttle responce always sucks, and most of all if its a stock auto like n the 240's it will almost always be in the wrong gear.

In the end its down to preferance, and while autos do have a slight advange in torque from a standstill, and CAN have faster shift times (if its stock thats not always gonna be true..) nothing beats the feel and control of having a direct manualy operated linkage between the engine and wheels.

In reality, expecialy if its a stock transmission your gonna be faster almost every time in a manual.

[DCCustomz]

Well I won a bid for $5! I just need turbo and all that other bolt on jazz! but for a complete block and head w/internals! fu*k you can't beat that! IDK though, I think I might stick with the auto for now, then buy a manual car later! I don't want to fux with it! I just bought a body kit too, soo!! oh well! drift in the auto I shall!!!!!

[mmm240]

i you have the knowledge to swap a motor there's no reason why you can't swap the trans as well

[boznuttz]

how much did you pay for each? stats of each? pics or ban!!!

One time at my school, some guy bought a 97 teg, and modded it pretty sweet, had a wing and stuff.. but then we looked inside it one day.. and guess what? it was an auto.

Moral of the story: Auto's SUCK!

if you like auto, thats cool too. but I don't have much respect for anyone that wants to drive their car good, and drives an auto. If you wanna be a good driver you gotta know your car, and be able to control it real good. Standards tend to have a bit of an advantage there.

a bunch of people have done the 5spd swap, you could probly do it fairly easy.. just search it

lol, funny

[mewannadorifto]

it all comes down to what you like hell my friend learned to drift in a Stock Volvo wagon I think it was a 740 and it was an Auto that piece felt like a boat body roll for days.......... well he loved it but now he drives a manual FC and he's actually pretty good. moral of the story do what you want in the end you'll be the one driveing it not us.

[tonynalli]

yo won a bid for an sr for 5 bucks...good luck with that even existing..

and give it up with the stupid *** nigga this and nigga that. grow up or get the hell out of here

One time i bought an s14 240sx. It was in mint condition and looked beutifiul. Many people thought it was a sick car until they looked inside and saw the auto in it. They Laughed at me repeatedly, and i would hang my head low and drive my car away in shame. One day i decided that I disliked being a gay auto 240 driver and i swapped it out for a manual. Moral of the story Auto = gay.

AND please never ever say nismo nigga ever again.

[heartofaskyline]

most of the time, cheap means rust. at least im my experienses. i found a running 92 hatch for 750 bucks that didnt look too bad...till you took the paint off. bondo like crazy. i fixed it right, but would rather have paid more and not had to deal with the rust ****....$5 sr=****ing scam. and the headache of not having a complete swap, is worse than just buying a good clip... but its your project so have fun

[heartofaskyline]

IM NOT A NISMO NIGGA, ******, OR ANYTHING ELSE AFFILIATED WITH A GANSTER. SO GTFO

I often wish my vert was a 5-speed, 'cuz that's what I was raised on and I DO want more interaction with my car. Here are a few considerations:Being able to pick your shift points is a big deal. 3rd gear in the auto doesn't do it for me. But be a realist---what do you do while you drive? If your drink won't fit in your aftermarket cupholder, if you smoke, use a cell phone or jack around with an Ipod, you don't have enough hands or attention span to deal with a stick shift. And a freeway commute in stop and go may help you make up your mind real quickly. Think about it before you decide it all comes down to machismo.
