yeah mines nearly shat itself lol, manuals are more fun to drive too

though the z32 autos are remarkebly strong! keep in mind that a few upgrades to an auto like kevlar clutch bands, manual valve bodys and custom auto ecus make a dramatic difference! only real problem is finding someone with a reputation to build it up for you and trying to find the $'s to do it. people say buy the level 10 upgrade, but i think its better to get it built from scratch. A bloke has made a z31 auto support 500 hp mind you, for drag use in a datsun ute if i remember correctly the stall was made to be 4000 rpm which is a fairly high one at that!
