you're not accelerating if the clutch is in

Fair point :) I accelerate/brake simultaneously in other circumstances though.

Especially in an auto lol. My ZX. Accelerator + brake = lots of smoke :cool:

you heel toe an MR2? when? why?

I have to double-clutch to shift from 4th to 3rd because my gearbox is f**ked. Plus I think it's a good exercise anyway because it reduces wear on your syncros.

nor are you accelerating if you are braking :) how can you be going faster and slowing down AT THE SAME TIME?

I think Newton would have something to say about that..

The engine could be accelerating though :cool: Just not the car itself.

but you can accelerate while applying the brakes

lol what idiot told you that? you know that doesn't apply to modern (post 1990's) gearboxes right? they engage syncros as soon as you push the clutch in. I put it to you that you're fucking up your syncro's MORE by jumping on the accelerator like a tard and not matching revs to gears exactly (ie not needing to use syncros) while using your clutch still while you "heel-toe".

Also, syncro gears cost less than drive gears to replace. Unless you're driving an auto, in which case heel toeing is 100% retarded.

Widebody and still got poke. Damn.. Wonder what the specs on those wheels are.

I know exactly what spec they are. They're "omg look at this sweet shit on yahoo auctions, cheap too, I'll buy em and find out if they'll fit later" spec.

actually just looking at that pic, he may be running hard as fuck suspension so his tyres don't scrape and slight poke purposely. points to him if he is.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
