In my 350Z, there is a drive by wire throttle system.

The 350Z has some weird traits built into it, that is for sure. At this point I have too much$$$$ in it, so I am committed. We have also now figured out how to to trick the ECU, and still get the brake lights to come on as well for a good H/T throttle blip. New front adjustable upper control arms going in soon.

I will have my Kirk Racing 4pt roll bar, Sparco Evo 2, and Schroth 5pt Profi in for the Speedventures Nevada event coming up here soon. See you guys there. Say what you want about the Z, it's fast enough (and still getting faster) for T5 and I get to drive to and from the track in comfort!

 

I took a two day driving course at Skip Barber at Lime Rock park and the way they taught you how to heel and toe was exactly as some stated before. Heel and toe is a misnomer. The idea is to put the ball of your foot on the brake then roll your foot toward the gas pedal to achieve the blip. You should actually do this double clutching. The action should be as follows...

1 - Clutch in
2 - gear out
3 - clutch out
4 - blip
5 - clutch in
6 - next gear
7 - clutch out

 

3 and 4 should happen at the same time.

 

Actually, 3 and 5 can be omitted with today's syncros. DC'ing is a thing of the past unless you drive a historic racer.

 

I am about to take the three day racing course offered by Skip Barber and it is not a thing of the past as far as their open wheel race cars are concerned. I do notice that with the S2k it appears to work fine without it, but it appears to be a good skill to have. Wonder what it all means? Even though it is not required is there some benefit?
