hand brake and early downshift?

it will rev match and that wont lock the wheels?

im sure theyll modify it some how

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.

nice! where is the footage from?

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.

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

Its the only way i get to drive a 35 GTR! behind a PS3 Controller!!! Well for now!!!!

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.

haha yeah i got first dibs on it 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 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 .

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

[gts-4 dreamer]

nissan went to all that trouble to prevent tooooo much over steer.. irony.

[Sydneykid]

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.

yeah the "Burnout" button is so awsome. wish they had those in real cars...

[VB-]

sydney kid, steering wheel mounted clutch control owuld never work, the steeringwheel spends too much spinning freely of the drivers hand, and they are constantly clutch kicking etc, mid corner while the wheel is spinning still
