some vbox logs from the test session with the new sequential. Actuator pressure and taking it easy, but the trace shows that its much quicker through the gears

Trace doesn't look very smooth though, what's with the staircase on the leftmost ascent?

Ian - aye it isnt that smooth (the plot). That was nothing physical with the car other than the plots being slightly stretched/skewed to fit.
The plot is set with POSITION along the bottom. The blue trace is from a low 55sec lap, the red from a 62 to it will have been altered a bit. I'll see what they say about No Sats etc, and have a look based on 'time v speed'

There are a few options for the GTR (RB26 series)..... in order of perceived ability and actual cost.
Hollinger - about £22k + all the gubbins
MacTrak - about £20k i think
OS Giken - £10-12k, + larger input shaft +subframe
Quaiffe - £8k
All in depends on labour rates and what not

Movement of the gearstick on the downshift seems rather long, but maybe that's personal preference. But sequential boxes are .

its a long lever, so the short throw of the standard lever is now longer (by simple extension)
Some of it will be cut down with the Geartronics strain gauge is fitted
