Ordered all the parts needed for repair now - I'll book it in to get worked on in the next two or three weeks. Till then that is the end of this chapter!

Hoping its not the pivot, That's a new Nismo one HAHAHAHA! Pulsar is supposed to be the comfortable daily so I don't keep smashing up the kms on the Skyline aaaaaannnddd it's so uncomfortable to drive daily. I won't lie, a turbo would make it fun, it's gutless at the moment!

Car is definitely out of action for now. It looks like the clutch fork popped off the bearing carrier or something of the sort. Fork looks crooked and when you look in the box it looks out of place. As mentioned, I bought a new car - N15 Pulsar Automagic as the daily with 124,000 kms on it for dirt cheap so that will do for now. Mine is the green one The plan of attack is to order parts below and take it to my friends Dad's workshop to get done because I don't have the patience to do this all over again. *All parts are Genuine and New* - Clutch fork - Slave Cylinder (Lucky number 3) - Throwout carrier - Throwout carrier retaining spring - Clutch fork retaining spring - New redline fluid - Throwout bearing - Boot that goes over the fork I'm seriously praying that nothing is wrong with the clutch assembly because I'll be pi$$ed. It wasn't cheap when I bought it all.

Car is out of action for a few weeks at least now. I'm going to buy a new car this week as a daily too. Clutch dropped to the floor tonight on the way out, pedal wouldn't return so I limped home in second gear and bled the clutch again. We managed to get some feel back but the fork seems to be stuck halfway causing the slave to overextend to work. I've asked on the SAU FB page and its likely that the fork is snapped or something is wrong with the throw out bearing assembly so I'll be keeping it off the road for a few weeks till I get motivated to fix it. The best words from a good friend that cheered me up were "You don't drive a heavily modified car and expect it to be perfect 100% of the time". Stay tuned for pictures of the new car!

Pictures from the other night. My neighbours weren't too happy about me bleeding the radiator at night which is understandable I guess. http://i812.photobucket.com/albums/zz45/kingtube69/B784A603-E15F-4AD7-8211- Stuff you won't see is the new fan (can't be seen properly) and the thermostat business. I hate the spot for the thermostat in these things and what makes it worse is that you need to use gasket maker and not an o-ring. FML. On a positive note the car hasn't climbed past 82 in the recent Sydney heat which is a massive improvement over the average 95 it was getting to in Sydney heat. Rego is coming up in the next fortnight so that's on my to-do list and takes priority over stuff like a new diff and coils unfortunately.

Where are you located? I know a couple of places in Sydney with them.

This is the same findings I had with my factory airbox, Pod filter on its fine. Everyone said the factory box is shit. Could be just a dirty filter though, no? My panel filter is filthy too

I'm happy to take the advice of someone with experience

Can vouch for this clutch and flywheel - I have the extra HD on my R33 and it's great. Drives really nice too. Whoever buys this will be very happy with it. GLWS

I found a few threads but I think I need to look into it more. Sounds like a great start tho. Why are you not fond of the RSR-Rs? That's great news! Thank you for sharing your experience. I'll try and grab some but I have NFI about the whole radial v non radial which makes no sense to me lol. Small update: New radiator arrived last week - I didn't realise how small the factory rad was till I looked at it the other day Nismo cap Unfortunately I couldn't do any of the work this weekend because JustJap had no thermostats and It was too late for me to order from Kudos. None the less I ordered the thermostat and a new radiator fan because mine is cracked in a thousand places. More Pics to come next week.

Hmm thats what I struggle with, I have no idea what size Hoosier or MTs to get because I don't know what will fit under there.. Any ideas? I was talking to Adam from JEM and he recommended Federal RSR-Rs or the MT ET Streets so I'll try one or the other

Any updates Bill?

Thanks GL, I tryyyyyy to keep it clean but there is still some stuff I'm unhappy with I think its the windscreen seal or door seals because I sealed what I thought it was and it still leaked Do you have a similar problem? I WISH i read this earlier Had a terrible night, crap times the whole night except my last run which was still slow but I slipped the clutch and it launched pretty good just not enough RPM at launch I think. I've done the handbrake thing before but its a pain in the ass lol I've forgotten countless times. I kept frying the tires when I was launching at the same RPM I did on the Sunday meet. One of the officials mentioned the track is not Preppd like it was for the Sunday meet and normal races because its just a regular street meet which is kind of annoying. I had what sounded like a stuck lifter, changed the oil and it came good but I wish I knew about this stuff Thanks all for reading through the drama of my 33

The Sydney heat has been pretty stupid lately and the car has been getting warmer than I like (not overheating but warmer than usual) so I ordered a new thermostat, cap and alloy radiator tonight. Everything should be here in the next few days Heading back to WSID tomorrow night to see what I can get also. Stay tuned for times and pics

Find a wrecker mate, would be heaps cheaper

Wow and this is why I'm petrified of compression testing my motor. But like you said lucky it was only one of the springs. That lifter free stuff does the trick hey???? As for why no driving for 6 months, you are correct. Something I'm not proud of either but you live and learn. Was in the national park going a fraction too fast at the start of Op saturation early last year.

Turbo is gone

Pictures please

That loom looks amazing! Out of curiosity what plugs did you have to change?

Thank you Milk! They are Just Jap ones, I need to buy new ones too because I leaned into the car with my work bag on my back and cracked one like an idiot lol. Thanks Pete! I like to clean the engine bay whenever I get a chance and if I find a wire that annoys me, I fix it lol. I'm glad you have a guide to look at if you need. If you have any questions feel free to inbox me and I can help. I'll have to pop outside a bit later and check for you but I personally think its too low because the exhaust scrapes on everything making it impossible to get into my garage lol. Thank you Mc-Woshy! Why 6 months no driving? Did you lose your license or break something lol?? ------------------------------- Small update since I have been MIA - Had to get new rear tires finally the old ones were way dead. I have been putting a lot of kms on this since I got my license back, It feels like just yesterday I serviced it and now it's due again. I'm going to book two weeks off in April for me to get the car back in the workshop if money permits and get a touchup tune because its running fairly rich and it idles black smoke when the car gets to 95 degrees which happens when we have 40 degree heat in Sydney! Rego is due in a week or two so I need to go into savings mode but after that I'll be ordering: Front and rear camber arms to fix the alignment Front Tie Rod Ends with RCA if money permits Rear HICAS lockout - Ideally I would like to buy some second hand hubs, have the bearings replaced and bushings pressed but I'm undecided for now Most importantly, new coilovers

I think Cal is correct - Going off this GTR is not listed http://www.kudosmotorsports.com/catalog/bolt-flywheel-nissan-skyline-gts25-gts25-20gt-25gt-25gt-25gt-stagea-wgnc34-four-p-1737.html

Looks similar to my Walbro 460 which has done me well. I don't think you will be able to fit two in the tank without a custom mount for them as thee hanger is quite narrow.

Airbox still available?
