Perhaps with the extra boost and extra acceleration, the thing is revving out quicker and even higher. (assuming you are not bouncing the thing off rev limiters as a shift point.

So if you are normally changing gear at 6,500rpm in 2nd because acceleration is starting to trail off, but with more boost there may be a little more top end, so you rev the car that couple of hundred rpm harder.

Go for a drive down the street at 7psi and bounce the thing of the rev limiter, then do it again at 10psi...you will see that your road speeds are the same.

You aint no mechanical engineer, you explained that concept far too well to be a mech engineer... there werent even any typos or speling mistaks :rant:

I like your point, but were not talking about a 5 or 10 km/h difference, we're talking about a full 20km/h difference. I never hit rev limiter, only ever hit it once, i always shift at 6500... My Apexi computer even tells me that. So its not just a guess of when i actually shifted.

Oww and i dont shift at 6500 because im loosing power, im shifting at it because its peak power right there and its the best time to shift.

"more boost there may be a little more top end, so you rev the car that couple of hundred rpm harder." Yeh good point, but a couple extra hundred RPM wouldnt explain for a whole 20km/h. Dont worry, I'll be testing tomorrow.

hahaha so true, i am sure marcus put all that through a spell and grammer checker before he inserted in :)

/me awaits Sydneykid to tell me I'm wrong.../

Your WRONG Ronin, I have a son but he is neither long nor lost. :slap:

As for Jamesh3, I have seriously pissed my pants several times reading the drivel :bonk:

In a manual car there is a SOLID connection between the wheels and the engine. In the same gear it is impossible for the rpm of the wheels to change if the rpm of the engine doesn't. :flamer:

As for single, double or triple clutching on the up change being faster, I can not believe anyone is that stupid :headspin:

How long does it take you to;

lift off the throttle

push the clutch in

move the gear lever to neutral

push the clutch in

squeeze the throttle

lift off the throttle

then move the gear lever into the next gear

lift off the clutch

squeeze the throttle

If you are really good it's 0.15 of a second.

Compare that to;

lift throttle

move gear lever into the next gear

squeeze throttle

If you are average that's 0.02 of a second

In a 1/4 you make 3 gear changes, 1 to 2, 2 to 3 and 3 to 4. Using the double clutch method you spend 3 X 0.15 = 0.45 not accelerating. Compared to 0.02 X 3 = 0.06 not accelerating.

You just lost the drag by 0.4 second. :kick:

I can't believe I managed to type this without laughing my self sick. :throwup:

Wrong. Thats like truck double clutching. Not Racing double clutching... Doop!

Firstly Read post #27 & #24.

Lol mate, thats the other form of Double Clutching most people think when they hear that term. You are ignorant like many others,i dont blame you but perhaps you should read posts 27 & 24 about Double Clutching which you've probably never even heard of before then read another about "Popping" & "Fanning" which is the same thing... Once you have finally read the post and then know why double clutching is faster for turbo cars, you may be the once laughing at your self.

"I can not believe anyone is that stupid"

Ignorance is Bliss aint it! :flamed: hahah

You got that one pretty much spot on, well explained...  It's also called double clutching by people, it seems the term 'double clutching' has 2 different explanations and most people think the other.  From now on so theres no confusion i hope I'll be calling it "fanning" or "stepping" or "popping" hehehe.

NO, double clutching does not have two explanations!

NO, fanning, stepping or popping is not the same as double clutching!

Whoever these "most people" are, they are wrong and have misinformed you! this is cause most people dont know sh1it about cars.

How many reaplies does it take on here for you to believe what double clutching actually is??? just accept it: you are wrong, and so are most people

**this is a perfect example of someone thinking they know all about driving a car fast just cause they drive a fast car**

in simple terms, i've always thought of double clutching as a longer period between each gear change, hence, less accelerating. Why spend more time changing gears? doesn't make sense at all :confused: I think SydneyKid explained it very well.

When i see someone taking the Mines R34 GTR out for a spin, or any track battle of ANY turbo car, and see someone "double clutching" (as they have a cam view of the pedals) i will come back to this thread and say i'm wrong. But as long as the crazy nutcases in Japan are flying around in beasts of cars like the Mines R34 GTR, and shifting "normally" i will continue to think of "double cluthing" as something that belongs, and should stay in, the Fast and the Fubarb.

cheers :D

OH MY GOD!!!!

I DONT THINK THAT ANYONE HAS EVER TOLD SYDNEYKID THAT HE IS WRONG!!!

YOU KNOW WHY?

CAUSE HE IS NEVER WRONG!!! NO EXCEPTIONS!

Well I tell him he is wrong all day long.....

But online, this is not the first time... won't be the last, but might be the  funniest :headspin:  

dont you think its strange that you are the only odd one out here?

:bs!:

guys i figured out why he gets higher speed with higher boost! :D

he's using tyres that expand when they heat up (some drag cars have this?). with the extra power he's getting, with the added excitement that he's gonna "double clutch" like in the movies, he performs his (incorrectly named) double clutching in each gear, he's spinning the wheels and getting another few cms diamater in the tyres with more heat than he could with the less power, therefore high speed in 2nd gear!!

(as for "granny shifting" claims, as if ur granny shifting ur not even really reaching full boost before changing, i dont see how he's getting 0-100 in 6s with that, man imagine the car when it hits full boost!!)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 馃槀 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
