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?

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • 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. 🤣
