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.

      We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.

      No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
