thanks Nismoid. Performance isn't the issue as there is plenty of that. Just looking for a bit of added wank factor. If that's going to cost me performance, then I'll pass on it. I notice too there is some possibility of this mod being illegal unless engineering which sounds like a pain to me.

Dude, i have a set, but not sure if I want to part. They have been professionally sprayed black and are in mint condition, with Silverstone brand tyres.......

So you get your pods and then strap this over them. Where does the air get into the box? also ,what will this set up do for me? More induction nosie and will I hear the turbos? Cheers.

Um, I've got an R32 GTR with lots of mods running about 300 RWKW and I'm running the std airbox. I heard that pods give a much more audiable induction noise, but that they must be boxed so as not to be sucking in the hot air from the engine bay. If so how is this best executed? Are there any other implications of doing this? I guess I'd like a few more exciting noises as right now I've really only got injectors and exhaust. Be nice to hear the induction and the turbos. Thoughts?

$183 for the adjustables? Got pics? Thanks. -

Thanks Gary, you're already been recommended to me. I've not done anything yet. Thanks for the link. If I just want to address the play in the stock arms, rather than introduce camber adjustment, can that be done with replacing bushes etc? Is there a kit to go for? -
Thanks Troy. I've gone the budget option and thrown a new clutch plate in the single and I'll cross my fingers. Where do I get info on Vic meets? When is the next one?
-
Thanks. I've gone the replacement of the clutch plate in the existing single. It might not last forever but it's a hell of a lot cheaper than the multiplates and means I know what I'm getting. My engine builder said no matter what / which all mutlis are at least a bit of a pain in the ass, and that they are hard on gearboxes as they have no give due to their clamping forces. Reckons stripping third is a good chance with a real bitey clutch with a quick engagement. So it would seem you're potentially shagged either way with 300+ RWKW unless you go multiplate and get some OS blah blah gearbox re-build so it's bomb proof too. I guess a lot depends on how you drive and your luck too..... Anyways, the decision has been made so thanks for your input.

Any other views out there? Going to have to make the just sometime today. Surely there are some clutch experts who can give me a further opinion? Perhaps comment on Benro2's comments? I reckon a single ain't going to be man enough for the job. It's a matter of getting the right twin plater, as they seem to vary. I reckon something with a sprung centre and sequential engagement. Experts, give your opinions here!! Cheers.

My car is a 32 GTR but the gearbox is a pull type which is more typically associated with a 33 GTR. If you can find the specs on the Exedy that'd be great. I'd reckon the GTR will be different but at least I can relate the characteristics on the clutch.
-
Thanks for taking the time to write all that down. Unfortunately, the exec Summary is, sink $$ and time into it and see for yourself. It's such a minefield.....I think I may stock with the clutch I have and get a new clutch plate. I guess if it has lasted 18 months on this plate (it's not totally shagged) it'll last the same again with a new CP. The only concern i have is I have a track day coming up at Philip Island and I wonder how well the single will hold up under sustained throttle in some of the higher gears.........
-
Thanks for that. I do need it sharpish, so the whole re-build thing may not work for me. Interesting your commentrs about twin plates. ISC are recommending an Extreme Motorsport single plater. I wonder about the peddle pressure on that? It's supposed to be rated to 400RWKW which is a lot......
-
Thanks. I've done that and await their reply. Would be nice to hear from some people who are not selling? Be good to get a range of responses and advice. I find it's never as simple as 'this is the answer'. Anyone have recent personal experiences they can tell me about?
-
Guys, my car is in the shop for other things, but the mechanic said these were pretty shagged and could do with replacing. He has an adjustable set there which are unbranded, but have Japanese NSK bearings in them. I've never clapped eyes on these things before and really don't know how important it is to get a good set, branded / non branded, or it is one of those items that doesn't really matter. They look like they are decent quality (looks like a mixture of chrome and anodised bits on there. Any advice here?
-
Guys, in a rush here so not time to search first. I have an R32 GTR (pull clutch as it has a R33 gearbox) which needs a new clutch. The car runs about 305 RWKW and currently has a single in there. I generally drive pretty gently, but the sheer torque seems to be chewing it out, I do the odd track day, but for the most part it's driven on the street. It ain't a daily, but tractability, and refinement are important to me. I'd like to avoid a mega heavy pedal, sharp take ups, rattly mutiplates etc. I think with the power its making I'd be wasting money putting a single back in there......but the question is what to replace it with that fits the bill. I keep reading about Jim Berry clutches? Anyhow, can the collective wisdom advise? I'm in a rush as the gearbox is out and I need to make a quick decision as the spanerman doesn't want my jalopy in his shed for too long. Thanks.

Hi Tassie dudes, last time I visited the Apple Isle I could not get 98 RON fuel. Is that still the case? If so, how do you guys run your turbos? Lower state of tune? I'd be interested as I'd love to plan a driving holiday with my R32 GTR but must have 98 to do so. Cheers.
-
Turbos sold. I've got an exhaust system for an R32 GTR. Front pipes to cat std GTR. Cat back some sort of SS system. PM me if this sounds like it might suit.
-
I also have an ECU. I'm in Melbourne. I also will have a bit of the exhaust you're looking for. PM me and we can sort it out.

Wish I'd seen this thread a month ago. I bought a panavise sucker mount which works well, accept for the rake of the front screen is such that the camera (and it's a small one) won't sit upright. It can only be mounted portrait style.....Cost $100 too. Bugger.......

Sorry mate I don't know. Best ask around on this forum. It is on eBay and the auction ends tonight so.....
