rolling in neutral while on freeways and downhills is trouble waiting to happen

Forgive my stupidity, but what could happen? Not that I go around at 100km/h on the freeway in neutral or anything, but occasionally I will slip it into neutral before I come to a complete hault at traffic lights (at 15km/h or so).

Don't agree

I like to be able to tap/burst on the accelerator at any time I want with out having to shift from N back into gear for all the "shitt happens" scenario's. On more than one occason a quick tap of the gas has gotten me out of trouble from morons who get close to slamming into me from behind or the side.

Further to that I always stay in the appropriatte gear for optimum accelration. No point tapping 5th when your going 20KM p/hour

the brakes are less effective from what i've noticed.

my box goes clunk kinda if i shift going around corners

only if i've taken of and i go to 2nd gear tho

downshifting doesnt do shit

rb30e box behind my rb30e lol

i dont know how to explain how to drive a manual

i just kinda did trial and error when i was on my l's

also, i never ever roll in neutral (unless im super low on petrol!)

Rolling downhill or decellerating in neutral uses more fuel.

The efi cars cut fuel when decellerating as a method of improving fuel economy. I generally just pop it in third approaching traffic lights and let the engine do the majority of the braking.

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
