having a mid life crisis.

Glad to hear it’s only a mid life crisis, mine is a whole life crisis

Ah well, no sequential box means I’ve got a fraction more of a chance of keeping up with you on your visit

Great that you put it out there and that your enthusiasm for your amazing Z4 is stronger than ever. Pop that one to the back of the cooker and on to the next.

i love this car more than ever! Its been my uplift during a very tough time.

spoken to quaife, simpson and i think this is a non starter the tuning side basically seems like its not going to work properly with the vanos etc .... and the costs are insane... i mean the GB itself is big money but throw in this unepxected cost your litterally at another z4m which is silly....

shortest thread ever. i'm definitely having a mid life crisis.

Have you considered a CAE shifter as something racier than stock but without all those mods?

ive tried one on an e36 and it was so notchy and hard to shift.....

hows the UUC SSK , whas good, what bad?

Friendly banter incoming....
andy youve got a serious car their, but if it can keep up with this old girl, ill be suprised but i may be wrong.... 527hp, 1410kg and i can hussle this sucker around. scalped GT3s with ease in this one on the track against the clock and was top of the modified sprint class for 1 year , true supercar levels of performance, and the handling and stopping are top tier.

Even quicker now without the dreads reducing the wind drag to Scania truck levels......

Nothing special if I'm being brutally honest. I've not regretted getting it as its still an improvement but it's not a night and day difference... Throw is a bit shorter maybe 30% less but the shifter play is as stock and I really wish it was reduced but that needs an aftermarket DSSR.

Being out here it's not cost effective to just buy one and see if it fits because as reported on Zpost sometime along the line they changed our OEM DSSR shape but it's not specified in parts lists and if you get an aftermarket one it's simply chance if it fits or not...

How about a Samsonas gear box

When I ran a sequential dog box in my Westfield

I had a pull me push me gear shift

I manually adjusted the engine on off load with my foot on the accelerator pedal

The next step is a strain gauge switch to cut the spark to change gear you do not use the clutch on the way up but better to use in on the way down

the poor mans ignition cut switch is the rev limiter

In Franks videos he explains it very well

As you have found out paddle shift on the wheel is complex

Well set up and gear changes at full throttle are half a second

Ratios or gear speed max speed 50mph to 60mph in first and an additional 15ish mph in each gear going up the box

Friendly banter returning………..

You’re too used to driving on these bloody big wide roads or strips and tracks, the sh!tty Argyll roads will be a bit of a leveller, as,I,said, I’m only trying to keep up, no bloody pass you

[Beedub]

Yeah it's abit wild on the narrow stuff .. this one needs space but I'll give it a good go .

Then a clean straight line up 40 - 130 on a quiet mway.

Love this honestly..... Apparently the auto solutions kit is epic but sometimes I wonder of its buyers over gas. As the design seemed incredibly close to the stock piece. Literally metal bushing in the stock shifter would make a huge diff.
