guys...heh

pardon my ignorance, but i was just wondering, what is the meaning of flat shifting?

im running a exedy brass button clutch and this can take shitloads of power even tho my car's a N/A....

when i tkae off real quick...and rev till almost red line, and change gears, there is always a SNAP kinda sound or response from the gearbox...why is it? its like the stick is snapping out of a gear and into another.

Snap for getting out...but going into the new gear is always just fine.

ne tips to improve take off time? friggin v6 commonwhore could keep up wit me man...and i was pushing her hard....damn...

till i hit the 3rd gear of course...and went thru a flash...i mite not haf a liscence sometime soon but still would love to know these things

=)

doubt the commie drivr would b drivin netime soon too if i lost mine

heh

thanks guys

Flat shiftiing is when you change gears but don`t take your foot off the accelerator.

Bouncy, bouncy bounce off the rev-limiter with a crap gear change, but if your lightning quick and time the change so that the engine doesn`t have a chance to hit the rev-limiter, you CAN actually add 10kw to your peak power...

...well thats what that Matt-black CRX driving Vanilla Rice geezah told me...

yer, change at 6500 and bang it in and let the clutch out as quick as possible.. that way you don't lose as many revs and keeps the turbo nicely spooled up at around 4000rpm or so.. only problem sometimes u can get wheelspin in 2nd or maybe even 3rd which negates some of the benefits of being too quick with it all..

actually, ignore what i just said :) yours is n/a.. but same principles i guess

Timmaayy.. Ran a 15.5 in a NA R31 Skyline.. :)

Not to shabby.. It is bad for your driveline however.

He's got a vid(wma/mpg) from the last private AIR drag day. Its some where in the SA section with the results.

I've always flatshifted and this is the first car that hasn't done a gearbox in the first 6 months. I've had it for 2years now and its still flat shifting like never before.. :D My previous VS V8 Manual IRS commodore really didnt like it first cracking the rear irs chassis through one of the diff bolts causing the arse end to drop to the ground then the gearbox soon followed then the diff followed after that. Big $$ spent on repairs.

I don't flat shift in to third as my clutch slips slightly.

That is what has probably saved this gearbox i suppose.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
