Where there is a will there is a way...

Nomuken is already working on it... it has a looong way to go as you can see

The subtitle in the last pic says

クラッチペダルがないのできったけはサイドと慣性使えない

Which means... Because there is no clutch pedal you can't use handbrake or inertia.

Which either makes no sense or is an indication of how bad my Japanese is.

From the latest Option video Vol 166...

I actually bought some copies for people interested in the drift world series thing and of course someone "forgot" to pay so I have a spare one lying around if anyone is interested. :D

wait, how does not having a clutch pedal effect inertia? :)

They have a clutch, in fact they have 2 clutches, well now that I think about it, they actually have 3 clutches, but let's leave the ATTESA clutch pack out of it for a moment. The gearbox clutches are actuated by solenoids, so it would be simple to incorporate a switch that disengages the clutches. Simply put another paddle on the steering wheel that switchs the solenoids on while you hold it in. If you really wanted to, you could put a switch on the floor where the clutch pedal normally goes, hold it down like a normal clutch pedal to dissengage. Or you could use a strain switch on the gearlever like we do in the V8 SuperCars.

You could also have a another switch for dissengaging the ATTESA clutch pack, or maybe the reverse, a switch for engaging the ATTESA. Turn it on when you want traction to pass. With the electronic/hydraulic drive train actuation there is almost no limit to how clever you can be. Properly thought out, an R35GTR would make all other drift cars obsolete.

Cheers

lets hope they dont retire nomura's animal of a 34... most entertaining drift car to watch!!

also

lets hope nomura drives the 35 :D

haha yeah i got first dibs on it :blush: it was the stand out at the demo's at TAS too.

the D1 R35 is pretty much all sorted provided NISSAN japan allow it, there is still some negativity towards drift in the upper echelons of NISSAN and they are worried about negative feedback from snobby potential customers.

We spoke extensively about both cars and general business and honestly NISSAN would be mad to pass on the opportunity especially as nomuken is second only to Keiichi-Tsuchiya recognition wise. Travelling around will nomuken is like travelling around with god :yes: especially in f*kuoka the last leg of our stay.... it started to feel like we were punishing him because he just gets hounded flat out by everyone... free sake at every restaurant was dangerous too :blink:.

its a shame 4wd aren't allowed. i think a button for a clutch would have a lot less feel too.

I don't know about you, but I have a lot more feel in my fingers than my foot. Keeping in mind that the average drift clutch has zero feel anyway.

F1 drivers have a couple of little levers... 7 and 15 on this diagram. But F1 steering wheels don't really spin around quite as much as drift car ones so I don't really think the same sort of setup would be appropriate.

I would just use some sort of fly-by-wire pedal setup. I think the driver will have enough trouble adaptding to whatever gear shift arrangement they end up using. It would be cooler if they did it in software, but I think that would be a while off.

1. Pit lane speed limiter

2. Differential +

3. Engine push

4. Gear upshift

5. Traction control +

6. Engine push setting switch

7. Clutch lever

8. Traction control

9. Team info inlap

10. Burn out

11. Multifunctional switch

12. Lambda 13. Diagnostic

14. Wing angle info switch

15. Clutch

16. Differential selective switch

17. Team radio

18. Traction control -

19. Gear downshift

20. Engine break

21. Differential -

22. Neutral

23. Display page change

    • Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next. 
    • Once you learn it all, you find you do the job once. But this is the best way to learn, as you won't forget the lessons
    • Edit: It's now known as "R Performance" and is still in operation.
    • This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?
    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
