just to clear up some confusion, all im saying is for a turbo charged car, of any sort you should always try and run a manulised auto (again unless sequential manual) as the boost will always stay on plus its softer on the driveline you all know how weak datsun diffs are.

car has not been dynoed yet or raced proplerly im estimating it has around 190kw at the wheels with the setup (haltech boost, injectors blah blah blah basing this of mates cars and other set ups at the workshop i go to)

as for the speed 170 that was done on a race track though not racing i was playing around when i went out to a track day, i was there helping a friend with his car. (i only said this to give an idea of gearing and speed with rpm)

give me a couple of weeks and ill take it to the drags and see what it does (waiting on new diff center)

also for the comparisons with manual and auto, when i was comparing, it was against a mates car whos set up has not changed and my car was significantly quicker than it with the auto compared to the manual (as boost stay on because you dont have to keep spooling up every gear change)

as with the price you can build a manualised jatco $1300

mine was more as i have other things done inside the box.
