i usualy blip the accelarator down thru all gears just for practise, double clutching as well. dont realy need to heel it tho, just have left side of my foot on the edge of the brake pedal, and sway my foot to the right to hit the accelarator seeing as the pedals are so close together

Use gears. As others have said, you can slow down quicker if need be and can get out of the way quicker. Last thing you want to do is have to stumble around to find the right gear to avoid an accident.

Coasting at a decent speed is a bad idea IMO.

Heal-toe'in, Double Clutchin, Engine Breaking, Coasting, Neutral, 3rd till 1,200rpm..

you know what - I like to mix it up a bit you know.. do I think the lights gonna go green in a sec.. am I turning right..

like to keep myself on edge - pick one of the 5.. :)

usually it's a case of heel-toe'ing or double clutching if i'm in a racy mood - sounds good.. + never hurts to practice..

also engine breaking is better I guess..

as for saying it puts wear and tear on the gear-box/clutch.. WTF - your driving a skyline for christ's sake.. that's the least of your worries.. i'm sure you never go over 2,000rpm as well.. hmmm... strange..

:)

    • Evening, wanted to pop in and finally register to say hi to everyone here on SAU!   It's been a while since I've been active on a forum, but back in the day I used to be relatively active on ClubLexus and other hobby-related forums. I'm glad to see SAU is still around, since with the advent of Facebook and Discord it seems forums aren't what they once were. As a recent new owner of an S1 260RS Stagea, I've found so many older guides and helpful tips from SAU that I figured I needed to join and say a grave thank you. My recent acquisition has only become legal in the US for the past year, and knowing that similar car enthusiasts from across the pond have already figured out the kinks and tricks to get these 25+ year old cars running well. I look forward to diving into more of the SAU forums as well as hopefully contribute some info myself for future posterity.   As a pic tax, here is one of the few good photos I have of my Stagea. I hope to get way more in the future!    
    • Is this where I say "Hey man my airbox cost me horsepower in my Naturally Aspirated Engine"? (I know you need them for legality in NSW)
    • 1.5mm alloy folded up, it will need a tweek, as the angled bend only got to around 45° as that was the max that the break press would get with the other bends, and I needed a fair bit more, but and the alloy is easy to bend too my will by hand once I trim the lower section out I'll Dremel out and form the angle and mounting point on the lower section when time permits  As for the lid, I'm looking at going a "cap", instead of a flat lid to hide the fixtures a bit
    • I got sick of thinking about batteries so just kept buying chargers. I've got a ctek (racecar), a "noco" thing from supercheap (tow car with 2 batteries), and an old "SupaCharge" branded lead acid thing (farm ute/mower) and will need 1 more when the Silvia gets a battery again (if the 86 stays).  I always make sure the charger itself is in free space/away from car etc, just to be sure.
