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.

i drove my mates s14 and found that the accel peddal is much higher that the brake that it makes heel toeing so much harder. maybe thats why your knockin your knee, too much travel distance? dunno if that can be modified. the level of the pedals on the 33 are nice and even-ish making it easier to heel toe. guess it all comes down to practice.

i stab rather than roll :D

My feet are size 13. I find it hard to move my heel across. It just goes to where the clutch is. What I do, is I put my foot in the middle of both pedals, then I can press both.

your 6"3 and wear size 12's ?

im 6ft flat an I wear 13's... small feet ?

ps you can "heel - toe" just use the 3/4 role with a bit more heel an toe the brake.... where you need the sensitivety.....

I can do it in my 33 but I do have a replacement throttle pedal... this may make a difference as its much thinner.

s15 dunno.. never driven one...

m only 6 feet tall and i find that when i wear a helmet in my r33 gts-t my head hits the roof lining too, so much so that i have to not only put the seat right back but i have tilt the back rest right back to the point wear it doesnt offer much support anymore. anyone else have this problem???

This is what I'm worried about. Im 6'4 and have no issues about height of the roof but going to the track I really doubt im going to be able to fit with a helmet.

Im Size 11...

Also sunroofs do cut out a bit of run in the headlining.

Yidz,

You would be surprised, I am still able to have some head room even when I have a motorcycle helmet on.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
