Car comes back again tonight with mesh behind the holes in the front bar and the indicator lights put in.

I'll take pics tomorrow when it's still day light.

Goes in for the full tune up and dyno run in the morning!

I'll post the results up once I get in here to work tomorrow.

Thats the clutch i'm getting except it's been slightly modified to handle things alot better.

Dan might come on sometime and explain the clutch.

But from what Dan just told me, the clutch in the skyline now is absolutely rooted and it wouldnt of even lasted another week.

Looks like a button?

looks pretty much like my single plate 5 puck unsprung organic button clutch but in a multiplate.

its on or its off, it shudders, its noisy, its an absolute bitch in traffic. its there to handle the torque my cars setup puts out you get used to it but why youd sign up for that unless you needed it is kinda beyond me.

otherwise my clutches end up like this

but seriously, it seems like overkill

Belgarion I believe it is multiplate, twin I think from memory, exedy don't make a single plate clutch in a multi format.....

But good analysis of how it will be to use!!!

Unfortantly, due to the old clutch being completely rooted and near destroyed.... ran into a few problems last night when fitting the new one, so a new cover thing needs to be replaced which can be brought today as everything was closed last night.

Had to again reschedule the tune and dyno run again for this morning and have delayed it till next week.

Was looking forward to this mornings dyno run!

Were you selling this car a while ago?

What made you change your mind?

Yeah, was selling it a few months back.

2 people were interested.

1st - applied for a loan but fell through/wasn't approved.

2nd - another person said he`ll find the dosh for it and never heard from him again.

Was going to go for a GTR. But thought I keep a interest in the GTST and see what I can really do with it!

Well.... clutch I will have to get use to, thats for sure.

It is a bit like a button clutch but, can still ride it a bit.

did NOT stall it once last night!

But all up, this car has some serious balls and is running way better then expected.

cant wait for the tune up on tuesday.

gawd that clutch looks like itl be a bitch to drive!! I recently had a brass butt exedy clutch 1050kg clamping force installed in mine and traffic is a killer, feels like theres about 1cm of play between it being full on or off, not to mention the new found muscles in my leg from the weight of the peddle. Not real friendly but lays the power down very nicely :down: and apparently will handle very good for drifting

So... what's the deal with the clutch? The pictures you posted... is that yours? Or is the link to exedy site the one you have got? Because they are totally different! Has it been modified that much that it is now unsprung? Also the friction plates are totally different... :)

I do have to say from Thursday night though, that it looks very nice. Dan has done a neat and tidy job :mad:

    • ..could be worse... but out here, renting private affords some luxuries ...we've even been told the Sept dateline isn't critical, and I'd rather move stuff in the cool of winter, than slogging it out in the heat. Recall we were talking about the million dollar view this place has?...that's what he got for it... (won't be so nice when the quarry happens at the back in the future...lol..)... ...cool, I'll stick the wiper motor in a wee box...umm.... the pinny is GLX trim ~ I think that's about as close as it gets to Silo spec when it comes to the S2 pinny...ie; electric mirrors etc etc...dunno about the trip computer/wiring...I do electronics repair, I'd be willing to take a look at it for you. As you saw, all the dash is there in that car..and thinking about it, it'd be easier to pull the whole center section out, rather than just the ashtray and rails, but your call...
    • The "sacrifice of low end" is now basically irrelevant in 2025. Turbo/ecu/fabrication/and other tech advancements gives a vast array of options to mitigated any of it. My setup now is a fantastic example of this. 300whp / 20psi @ 3500rpm from a 600hp turbo setup on a notoriety low reading Dyno Dynamics roller dyno, is almost unmatched on all of SAU and other forums. The only other turbo i've seen that can achieve this is a BW EFR + twin scroll / twin gates etc etc etc... ps. tuned by Matty Spry at P.I.T.S as far as getting to the 600 figure, while enlarging your itb's alone probably won't get you there, as Sucram has stated above, it will certainly help. Just do it Predator1 my brother hahaha 🙂
    • I use Taaarks/efi solutions ones. Years, and no issues.
    • At the Botany heavy vehicle inspection centre. At the time there were only 2 locations that did IM240 testing for free, the other location was at Penrith. I did a quick google, seems like the Botany and Penrith inspection centre is closed now though About an hour of my time.  At the time you could. They are closed now   No it was Government run, the site was attached to the RTA from memory. The guys running it at the time were awesome, if you didn't pass the test, they handed you the results and said make changes to your car/tune and have another go later. You drove in registered, failed, and drove out registered.   Obviously though if you were defected, sent there, failed. You remained unregistered.  From my 5 minutes of research (have a look at the date on my test results) looks like things have changed. So, I can't see any way to get this test done for free now Seems like you'll need to call around the engineering places doing the Vehicle Safety Compliance Certification Scheme or call around workshops with a dyno and try and get a RG240 test. No idea how expensive that is though or how easy it is to find a place offering it.  Bit depressing learning about this now. The first car I had engineered in NSW cost me about $250 all up.... So kids these days can't buy houses, looks like getting your car legal and engineered in NSW is another thing on the list of things they can't afford. Great.
