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.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
