road trip! got his address by any chance, LOL

do you know whether it is fwd or rear wheel drive? what is the capaity of the engine?

r33s onlt have the 1ecu. not 2. other manufacturers run a second ecu, but not the skyline. that is why it doesn't run as smooth. there is someone else on here with a emu. have a flick through the forced induction section. i think he has posted in the thread in there about the emu.

+1. the m3 motor is very good. around 170kw at the wheels from the non turbo 6. i went to a dyno comp with 1 there. an old guys car. was stock and made 171kw. won the NA 6 cylinder class easily. as for what to swap it into, there are lots of options. just remeber that if you put it into an old car, you are still going to have old car handling. it may go fast in a straight line, but start praying when you get to a corner.

just get some good tyres. then all you need is the launch control to help you launch at optimum rpm. good tyres will improve your time more than traction control.

i have only used it for motorkanas and never had a problem. never done serious drifting with it though.

every go-kart driver left foot brakes. i'd like to see someone use the 1 foot for braking and accelerating in a go-kart. as scathing said, race drivers who left foot brake can get on the gas earlier, and keep the car stable through corners. it also helps to catch the car if you lock the rear brakes. greg murphy is probably the most notable of the v8 supercar drivers who left foot brake.

thats snap changing.

i suppose that in a manual car when you have to stop in a hurry you put your left foot on the clutch as well as your right foot on the brake, so you left foot stops your right foot over shooting. so with left leg out wide, you need a bigger brake pedal to help you hit the target better.

the switch would be for the launch control. that is how my mates works. it has a contact switch that disconnect once the clutch is pushed in about halfway. the flat change switch would have to be on the gear stick or steering wheel, since flat changing is done without the clutch. that is when you keep you foot flat to the floor and just pull it from 1 gear to the next. i used to do that on my motocross bike sometimes when racing.

if you wear size 12 shoes (or bigger) then it will. my problem was that under hard braking the brake pedal was past the accelerator, so i had to lift my heel a bit, and in the process move my knee inwards and it hit on the steering colum/lower dash.

my guess at why the auto brake pedal is so big is so you can left foot brake (and i'm being serious).

i use ultimate because i am in qld, so it is actually ultimate. and i had a mate do an octane rating test on some and it was about 98.3 ron (where he worked a rep for a fuel additive company had an octane rating tester). he also discovered that adding 2 bottles of nulon pro strength octane booster will lower your octane, but adding the correct amount will raise it. i don't use shell where i live because they had problems with their tanks rusting and it gummed up a heap of fuel.

that's cool. so does it have a spark interrupter for the flat change feature? that is how the v8stupidcars ones work. they have a switch on the shifter that they press as they grab it so it cuts the spark as they pull the gear through so the is very little torque transmitted through the gearbox as they do it.

i could do it pretty well in the skyline (and i'm 6'3), but in the pulsar i had trouble with shoes on. it also depends on what you want to heel/toe for. if it is for burnouts at the drags then you shouldn't have an issue (unless you wear skate shoes or boots). if it is for track work, then try to track down some cheap race shoes, or anything with a not too sticky sole. if it is just for on the street, then just lift of the brake, dab the gas, and apply the brake again if you must make yourself sound like a fool.

which would probably take a road block or tyre spikes.

putting it onto a car without it could be hard (and expensive), since you usually need speed senders on each wheel. a few ecu's have a launch control (such as the msd ignition system) but all they do is have a 2 step rev limit. my mate has a msd in his stanza. he has the switch setup on the clutch pedal. when the clutch is in the rev limit is set to 6000rpm so he sits on the line and holds it flat to the floor and it will sit at 6000rpm, and as soon as he lets the clutch out it will rev to the rev limit (9000rpm). it doesn't stop wheelspin at all. just means you can get off the line at optimum rpm.

shoes makes a big defference too. i can do it easily in the missus pulsar with no shoes, but as soon as i try it with shoes i can't. partly because they are stiffer. try some racing boots (like what race drivers wear) they are muh softer in the sole, and make it much easier to do.

it isn't really that new. the ultimate has been round for a while now. just that no-one used it cause they were all in love with the pfc.

they have been doing that for years. imagine trying to do handbrake turns in the old kingswoods that had the handbrake in between the drivers seat and the door. also bring back the old highbeam switch next to the clutch pedal i saw.

damn! i knew i should've got mark webbers jag.

does anyone know where i could get my 2005 maclaren f1 car (mika's old car) complianced? LOL although there is aparently a guy in california with a road legal f1 car. damn americans

and you could FAST the numbers

http://imports.motortraders.net/imports/spec.asp?id=634 the specs of the type g. it is a sedan, even though the pic is of a coupe. and the active lsd found in the r33 was an option on the type m. it was still called a type m.
