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

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
