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..

:)

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
