Doesnt come in manual, its a tiptronic style box with paddle shift. Some sort of super duper, multiple plate clutch mechanism that doesnt use a torque converter. It can flick between the gears at some rediculous speed (like 0.03 of a second) ie much faster than one could change manually with a shifter.

If I ever got to ride in one of these I might change my mind about skylines .. If I owned it, i think I'd get a plastic cover for the passengers seat..

Whered you get the 12 month plasma service from. Haven't heard that one. Shifts in .2 of a second in "R" mode I believe. Be interested to see how it handles out of sequence shifts though, if say 4th is pre selected and I want to go to second how long is the delay using the dual clutch system. I think the evo x has this system too yeah?
