Got a twin plate clutch fitted today (anybody want to buy a 9 button single in good condition?:P )

When the car came off the hoist the guy doing the work noticed one of the intercooler silicone hoses had sort of dislodged itself. (fixed for free, good old fashioned service)

It had obviously been that way for a while, probably started small and got worse over a period of time.

When I got in to drive home (peak hour) I had the joy of a much more responsive car and a grippy as hell clutch. I am sure there are a few commuters who now wont like to get anywhere near maroon skylines - it was either stall, really slow take off until the clutch bit then wheel spin or just lite em up from the line.:D

Thank god it wasnt raining.

Well I got a nismo cat back system, so its not so loud - attract less unwanted attention that way. Had a special high flow cat :( , and fixed the coola pipes, and of course the twiin plate OS giken clutch. It goes alot harder than when I took you for a spin.:P

Its still a work in progress, with the following waiting to be fitted:

Hillsmotorsport plenum

044 fuel pump

fuel pressure reg

550cc injectors,

getting a manifold and dump made at the moment - another 2 weeks wait and a new pipe from the AFM to the turbo.

I have a 264 exh cam on its way from jap and an adjustable cam gear.

I also have a new rear bar waiting to go on, and a few other miscellaneous bits.

I am thinking I will just put a 1.6mm headgasket on, fit the 3037 and see how much the stock bottom end will handle. James at D1 Garage reckons I should be good for up to about 300rwkw with the engine decompressed as he has seen it done heaps in japan without any problems. I am tempted to believe he knows what he is talking about after going for a spin in his Cefiro - I came back after a short demo and it took me about 1/2 an hour to get the smile off my face - that car is sick, and its got stock internals rb20, stock ecu, stock afm etc. Its nuts.

Have you had much done yet??

EDIT: I have just organised some 850cc injectors, so I now have a set of 550cc's for sale as well as the clutch - if anybody needs em:D

    • You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."
    • Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.
    • Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
