with the very high power cars, they dont usually clutch kick unless they need to get onto boost quick.. watch taniguchi or nomuken drift in car vids on a high speed track.. they just kick it to start the drift or if they needa get onto boost, and because they have so much power and they are going so fast they let the weight of the car help manouver them into corners etc

agreed, it's only blokes with the 200hp hachis that need to do a lot of clutch kicking to keep the thing going. a car with 600hp plus shouldn't need any help, but even still a floor mounted dummy pedal with a switch underneath it would be the go. clutch by wire. lol.

Where there is a will there is a way...

Nomuken is already working on it... it has a looong way to go as you can see

The subtitle in the last pic says

クラッチペダルがないのできったけはサイドと慣性使えない

Which means... Because there is no clutch pedal you can't use handbrake or inertia.

Which either makes no sense or is an indication of how bad my Japanese is.

Dude, the picture says

クラッチペダルがないのできっけはサイドと慣性しか使えない

Because there is no clutch pedal, all you can use is the handbrake and inertia.

I don't think your Japanese is the problem, you either didn't put your glasses on or sank to many glasses (probably both) before reading it.

Also Nomuken is building a Toyota Progress (MarkX platform) for this year's D1, so the story goes.

F1 drivers have a couple of little levers... 7 and 15 on this diagram. But F1 steering wheels don't really spin around quite as much as drift car ones so I don't really think the same sort of setup would be appropriate.

I would just use some sort of fly-by-wire pedal setup. I think the driver will have enough trouble adaptding to whatever gear shift arrangement they end up using. It would be cooler if they did it in software, but I think that would be a while off.

1. Pit lane speed limiter

2. Differential +

3. Engine push

4. Gear upshift

5. Traction control +

6. Engine push setting switch

7. Clutch lever

8. Traction control

9. Team info inlap

10. Burn out

11. Multifunctional switch

12. Lambda 13. Diagnostic

14. Wing angle info switch

15. Clutch

16. Differential selective switch

17. Team radio

18. Traction control -

19. Gear downshift

20. Engine break

21. Differential -

22. Neutral

23. Display page change

VERY cool :P

Whoops, no I am pretty sure that it is just my crappy Japanese that is the problem. Sort of a forest/trees concentration scenario if you get what I mean. Thanks for correcting that.

Yeah, that car is for D1 Street Legal. It is basically just a JZX with about 10cm chopped off each end. Stock they are heavier than a Mark II, but they are absolutely packed with luxury gear so that should change once it gets down to the metal.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
