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.

If you are over 6'3 and drive a silvia, your an idiot. :woot:

Yidz,

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

      R34 Diff oil

      Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in

      Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.

      How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
