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:

    • I'm hoping I just don't have to do an engine rebuild NOW. Doesn't mean I won't do it at some point. I think a plus point is that the car presumably ran on or close to stock power nearly all it's life so far. Only the Owner I bought it from actually increased power with a standalone ECU and blew the OEM turbos. And after it got thee 2860s it wasn't driven an awful lot either.   That is what I meant. With the twins coming on so late (4500-5000rpm) I hope the rods won't want to exit the block prematurely. And it still being a 26 means the torque curve isn't gonna hike up all that much.   It didn't blow up on the dyno when they tuned it to 500ish crank. So I suppose it'll be okay for now. They did put a Tomei head gasket on first though which did not seal at all, and they redid it with a Cometic one. Which I hope won't be my water leak.   Mainly anything oil. So far all it has is the N1 pump, oil restrictor and a filter relocation kit with a cooler.
    • 15000? ish? Something like that anyway. It wasn;t so much a wear as a tear that then spread. Might have lasted a lot longer if not bothered by just one incident, whatever it was. I took a punt. They are really comfortable and do a good job of holding. My daughter HATED it when I first put them in, and probably still does now. She has sensory issues and hates the way they are all up your business. I'm 197cm and 95kg. Not fat or particularly wide, and the XL size seat is the rigth fit. If I was any fatter it would start to get too snug. Any skinnier and you'd possibly want the smaller width.
    • Mrs rs focus came factory with recaro cs  sportsters in it and they a pain in the ass to get in and out of with the really high bolsters, once you were in them they were one of the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in
    • The NA 2.5 has very little torque. You won't feel much. Those trannies are also a million years old now and it could well be f**ked. First generation electronically controlled autos will often refuse to kick down, ete, etc, depending on what's wrong with them.
    • Yes, but no but yes but no. Those "it's fine up to 500HP" rules and everything else like it were all determined back when the cars were 10 years old. As they are now 30 years old.....what do you reckon the chances of something shitting the bed are? I'd say they are much higher now than they used to be. You might be lucky. You might be unlucky. Spin the wheel and find out. Yeah, nah. It's actually exactly the opposite. Making boost early and having heaps of torque able to be generated right in the middle of the rev range will do more to damage an engine than having to rev it high to make the power. Think about the load on the conrods, bearings, etc, to make 400HP at 4000 rpm, vs 400 HP at 6500 rpm. So someone has already "let the Nissan out" which is how we describe the increased chance of a fiddled with engine to have had something done wrongly. Many more engines that have been opened die than stock ones do - even if you into consideration how they are treated wrt power levels and the like. Again, not saying that yours will definitely have been put back together by a moron. But the possibility does exist. It's still a lottery. Spin the wheel. What weakspots?
