The automatic tranny is killing the skyline for me. I don't feel that is what the skyline is about.

 

DSG =/ Automatic
GTR =/ Skyline

 

What's you point?

 

How can a feature that's not on the car kill a car that doesn't exist?

 

I'll do it for $10...I've driven a Nissan before.

 

Exactly.

 

ill do it for the best price. get you your GTR the fastest too. and you can pick the color. cause i can get the color of my choice.

for a small fee that we can discuss. let me know if you need me to get it for you.

otherwise have fun trying to get the color you want anytime soon. its a challenge for even me with the people im affiliated with im sure you'll have a fun time doing it.

 

What are you talking about the car already exist. Oh and it's going to be automatic is that not what all the sources say, meaning no clutch pedal for you guys who dont get it. So yea for myself the automatic system kills the gtr by not having a true manual tranmission, like the past gtr's.

 

^no its a automated manual. just like the bmw's and its good they went to that. i cant wait to see what they can do to it.

 

forget all these guys I'll do it for 1$. I know nobody and have my head up my caboose.

 

The guy's exact quote was "The automatic tranny is killing the skyline for me. I don't feel that is what the skyline is about."

It's not a Skyline, it's a GT-R. The Skyline is what we call the G35/G37.

It's closer to a manual transmission than an automatic. The only change is there's no clutch pedal. Would I prefer a smooth shifting, well built 6 speed manual? Well, yeah. But it's not an automatic.

 

the new gtr is awesome, id sell my soul for one............or maybe just my wife.

 

No clutch pedal, no shifting through individual gates = no manual transmission on gtr. No, the transmission that the gtr has is closer to an automatic transmission, cause you can have the car shift on its on. And if you bouncing off the fuel cut in anygiven gear it will shift to another gear right or wrong? Smoth shifting, also does not= a manual transmission either. You say it's not an automatic but it's much closer to an automatic type of transmission, once again.

 

You clearly don't understand how a DSG works. Clutch pedal or not, it is much more closely related to a Manual than an Automatic.

In full manual mode, it will hold a gear and bog or bounce off the rev limiter all you want. It has dual clutches, not a torque converter, so it will have the same on/off throttle characteristics as a manual transmission.

It has all the power transfer, driveline efficiency, and driving attributes of a manual. The only thing it won't do is mis-shift like a human can, and shift slowly like humans do.

From a performance standpoint, it is superior to a manual.

Granted, it makes the driver less "engaged"; meaning your left foot doesn't get to do any work and you shift with paddles instead of a gearstick. But IMHO that is actually an improvement...

Dual Clutch DSGs are actually a brilliant piece of engineering. If you study them, you'll see that for yourself.

 

^exactly. well said.
