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.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.

      Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary?

      I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
