| Here's the statement from Nissan: "Aside from minor changes in the ECU, the cam profiles & turbos are also different between the M/T & A/T models. The A/T has 240 degree intake cams & 248 degree exhaust cams (the M/T has 248 degree cams for both intake & exhaust). Also, the A/T uses smaller turbos for more responsive low speed acceleration (the A/R ratio is 0.63 for the M/T & only 0.54 for the A/T). Even with 20HP less, the A/T turbo is capable of beating the M/T turbo to 100MPH." As for the PN, perhaps the manual turbos have superceded the auto turbos so that Nissan doesn't have to keep producing two types? Who knows, just my suggestion. Kez
 "Pulled the blower fan down from behind the glovebox and there was a mouse nest inside the cage fan - mom and 6 babies. Mom was dead and the reason for the smell - petrifying fast - but the babies were hanging on. At least until I fed them to the cats." [ZXtaZTT - June 19, 2002] |
