My mate was launching in his r32 gtr .. he launched in 1st when he went for 2nd he could not clutch in properly (from what i am told) and he had 2 get his car home .. so

could u rev match then just chuck in the gear u need just 2 get it home ? Or would it still be as bad cuz i think he was just jamming the gears in with

the cluch down (from what i have heard).

Would there be any difference if he rev matched ? easier to change ? less damage done 2 box ?

thanks guys 4 ur help

Yeah i had to do this for 35km once (master cylinder decided to shit itself out of town), basically I managed to get it into 5th and use it as a poor man's auto for most of the way, but I was shitting myself when I came to a bridge with traffic lights that I was going to wreck the box from putting clutch in and pretty much forcing it into 2nd to take off again, but I got there in the end, and (so far so good), there wasn't any damage to it.

I had to do this for 2 months while waiting to get the cash to get a new clutch and then actually getting the clutch installed. You get used to it and end up being a better driver afterwards. Even with a clutch i tend to rev match anyway.

Everyone should learn to rev match anyway in case something like this happens. It makes you a better driver anyway if you can double clutch...your synchros and clutch will love you for it.

eerrrrrr no, your synchros wont love you for it, double clutching is for gear box's with no synchro's, do it in a box with synchro's and you f**k the synchro's quicker.

    • Then today, I went to visit a man with an r33 hat Peter and Road and Race sorted the alignment. As it is being set up for general track/hillclimbs etc it has a heap of caster (7o), less camber than I am used to (1o front and 2o rear, as the caster looks after that in turns without the braking downsides), 3mm front toe out and 0 toe rear. Will see how that goes and track tyre wear to see if it does need more camber, but adjsustment is also limited with nismo arms and adjustable bushes at only 1 end. It does have a bent inner tie rod on the driver's side front but as it came up within spec I'll just leave that as is. So, that is getting close to my chapter of this story....could of tidy ups then a shakedown in early October before it finds a new home.
    • So, it went to Unigroup for a run in and tune on Friday, everything went (generally) well. In terms of fixes, the engine was good and there were no leaks. It needed plugs (I hadn't checked them because the coil pack cover was on a new engine and I couldn't imagine they weren't new.....but turns out the temporary plugs to just keep it sealed up were in there.....new plugs gapped to 0.8 and it was fine from there. Also, there was a little preload on the clutch slave which caused some slip. I haven't had the box off so I don't know what the clutch looks like; my guess it is brand new and the pedal had not been adjusted....backed that off a bit and it held fine. Last thing will have Dose crying....the idle especially when cold is a bit difficult between the cams, forward plenum, atmo blow off valve and an 80s air management system. It is fine when hot but a little uneven when cold, will see if I can sort or at least improve that one cold morning. Other than that, tuning went fine. It made 245 but was pulled back to 227 which 2 opportunities to improve in future. 1. The factory CAS is not great and was jumping around at high RPM, so Mark took 2 degrees out up top (that is why it stops making power and lost 20kw). Very safe this way and the extra power is available but will require a more modern ECU and better cam (or even better crank) sensor 2. The 2871 in factory housings is very big for a low mount, and the internal wastegate is too small, so it was creeping from mid range all the way to redline....the duty cycle on the boost controller is turned down a little for safety. That is much harder to fix, it would need a large external gate and that would require a whole bunch of other changes, so it will go as it is for now. It feels nice and healthy and safe, so should be good for about a billion laps like this.
    • what sort of caliper are they? If they are a slider and you gave everything a good clean, you might need to regrease the pins. My guess though is they will come good after some abuse as suggested above
