if you wear size 12 shoes (or bigger) then it will. my problem was that under hard braking the brake pedal was past the accelerator, so i had to lift my heel a bit, and in the process move my knee inwards and it hit on the steering colum/lower dash.

i drove my mates s14 and found that the accel peddal is much higher that the brake that it makes heel toeing so much harder. maybe thats why your knockin your knee, too much travel distance? dunno if that can be modified. the level of the pedals on the 33 are nice and even-ish making it easier to heel toe. guess it all comes down to practice.

i stab rather than roll :D

My feet are size 13. I find it hard to move my heel across. It just goes to where the clutch is. What I do, is I put my foot in the middle of both pedals, then I can press both.

your 6"3 and wear size 12's ?

im 6ft flat an I wear 13's... small feet ?

ps you can "heel - toe" just use the 3/4 role with a bit more heel an toe the brake.... where you need the sensitivety.....

I can do it in my 33 but I do have a replacement throttle pedal... this may make a difference as its much thinner.

s15 dunno.. never driven one...

m only 6 feet tall and i find that when i wear a helmet in my r33 gts-t my head hits the roof lining too, so much so that i have to not only put the seat right back but i have tilt the back rest right back to the point wear it doesnt offer much support anymore. anyone else have this problem???

This is what I'm worried about. Im 6'4 and have no issues about height of the roof but going to the track I really doubt im going to be able to fit with a helmet.

Im Size 11...

Also sunroofs do cut out a bit of run in the headlining.

Yidz,

You would be surprised, I am still able to have some head room even when I have a motorcycle helmet on.

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      gauge needle removal

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.

      R34 Speedo not working after manual swap

      Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder

      Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
