Flat changing - not taking your foot off the accelerator when changing gear. Gets mad seconds, thirds, fourths etc... hurts the drivetrain (and motor if no rev limiter)

Double clutching - releasing the clutch in neutral between gear changes. Takes ages to change gears, but will at least go into gear if having syncro issues or hard to shift boxes.

are there any other techniques we could use when drag racing. The flat changing sound good. :)

Double declutching eg from 4th to third........clutch in-into neutral-clutch out- bring revs up to match your current road speed- clutch in-into 3rd-clutch out mostly used when downchanging, Your clutch will live a long and happy life.

Flat changing- go pedal flat to the floor-hold it there while you change gear. Your clutch will die very young.

Flat changing in a syncro gearbox is not a good idea.

Maybe when you install a straight cut dog tooth box it will be good.

Double shuffling or double clutching is probulary best described on forums such as "Diesel Landcruiser Australia", "Mack Truck USA" and "HQ Holden heaven"

However, heel and toe down shifting is all good!

Thanks alot for the help ... yeah i'm familiar with the theory of heel & toe it's just a matter of attempting it. But yeah, thanks again for the info on double clutching & flat changing.

Once again, you can have a helical cut dog box or a straight cut synchro box. Meh...

I just want to know what granny shifting is!?

hehehe....fast and the furiNAWS.

I granny shift all the time...if I don't i look like the biggest dick during peak hour :D

heel and toe is not double clutching in itself. simplest heel toe has nothing to do with double clutching, just to aid in downshifting whilst braking (getting revs high enough for lower gear).

of course u can add double clutching to that, but in a syncroed gearbox there isnt all too much point

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
