yeah we always use the clutch for up & downshifts, but you can do very fast gearchanges even with clutch use.

thanks cam! mark was real happy with the times, hope to see ya for dutton nsw (car looks like it's coming along good)

it's a bit hard to compare as most the classes for production cars but with fairly free engine and gearbox rules don't run road tyres, they run slicks. and the records list doesn't state what tyres any of those records are. something like prod sports, or nations cup etc is kind of there i guess, but again they all run slicks which would be a fair advantage.

wont pics before they hit the mag.is there s15 doing any runs ???

Yep black S15. Shane Maytom's car I don't have pics but sure to be some on Nissansportscarclub.org

how come you would use the clutch with a dog box? to make it last longer??

mainly for longevity, dog gears last longer with clutch use (dont round the corners off as much) especially with so much load on the gears with 4wd grip. and as snowy said helps if you miss shift too , which happens.

Holy Crap! 1:04! Congrats on the Awesome time! I only have to go 14 seconds faster next time :) lol :)

I think I will keep an eye on your timing equip next time giat to make sure it is not getting a help re times he he. Maybe some one is moving the timing equip as you go past. Are you sure you did a 1 min 4.1? That is messing with me now, you should not have done that as I can't sleep properly since.

Hey Richard (200) yes well as you know my car has a lot of GTR parts in it. Maybe I need to throw some more at it.

Don't under estimate the Slot Car though I have plans for a few tweeks in power and suspension and simple mods to sort out under steer and a few other things we are doing. Maybe I should get a front diff???

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
