Ok so I want to hit up a track day at some point, and in that vein I also want to learn how to heel toe brake so I can feel all bad arse and shit. However the distance between the brake pedal and the accelerator is quite big ... so I was wondering if anyone knows of some aftermarket pedals that would make learning how to do this a bit easier?

Cheers.

Ever heard of "A bad tradesman blames his tools"?

Seriously dude, unless you have size 12 feet as above stated then you're not trying hard enough.

And just because you can go down to autobahn and get some drift spec peddals will only amplify the lack of being able to heal toe without the assistance of fully pedals.

Practice makes perfect

I struggled to heal toe in my gtt coz of my hieght. Im 6.2 and my problem was not being able to turn my heel outward coz my leg will have no where to move. In the gtr its much easier coz the accelerator pedal has a little lip that comes out from the bottom left which closes the gap slightly between the accelerator and brake pedal to make it easier for you.

I suggest getting vspec 2 pedals

Will have to give it some practise, is a bit difficult in normal driving as I am not normally on the brakes that hard, and when turning my heel to press the throttle normally end up pressing the brake harder than I want, will have to check it out some more.

Lol, at least he can heal toe.

How's your practice going? Let me guess, your buying aftermarket peddles coz your still don't have the technique right?!

Oh you're right, everyone should be able to do something the first time they try.

Actually I haven't had much chance to practise it really, but I'll be sure to report back when I have, since I'm sure you actually care.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
