My First Auto-X in Four Years With The S13 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Well, it has been a long while since I've ran an auto-x with the S13 (or any car really). Here's a short clip of how I did. Line isn't great, and I need to work on my braking and throttle points. I'm very rusty, so I need to get more seat time! It was a 100% first gear course for me, so I wasn't able to use much power, lol. Also, the car doesn't have much in terms of suspension, so that doesn't help me much either, ha ha.

Is something wrong with your 2nd gear?

Nope, course was a 1st gear course. It would have been a waste of time (literally) to shift into second. This is the same course that Alex finished off his clutch going between first and second and back to first. I was in the car when that happened, lol.

Yes, most autocross courses are "short" so 1st gear is where you'll be most if not all the time. Welcome back to autoX. I hope to be in you similar shoes beginning of next year. It's be at least 2 years for me.
