I have a manual 93 gts25t and so far ive done the basic stuff like good exhaust, air filter, EBC high boost set to .8bar, BOV (yes i noticed a difference boost kicks in faster on gearchanges) Good tein adjustable suspension. It has 17" 255's all round. If i go too hard on it and get wheelspin its just too much for the clutch and it slips and i get that burning clutch smell heh. So, i need a better clutch, keeping in mind that i wont be going for bigger turbo and all that stuff, i'll just be doing a few more minor mods so i wont be expecting any more than about 200rwkw by the time i'm finished.

Firstly what type of clutch would you guys recommend as something that can handle lotsa abuse with around that power output. If you could include rough prices or links that would be really helpful.

And while i'm at it i might as well put in a light flywheel so any prices etc on that would be great too.

warrior_350,

I would go for something like a replacement full face (steel backed) organic heavy duty clutch (with increased clamping rate)

Both Unique Auto Sports and Just Jap sell them for around $550 I think..

This is what I will be looking at getting soon and I have the same requirements as you...

I know your in QLD but have a look (on their web sites) and order it through the site (and have your local mech. install it etc..)

Regards

Yeap! I'd go a good quailty full face clutch with a good lightened flywheel.

If you car is going to be a daily driver, then you'll wear a button clutch quickly and it will also piss you off very very quickly.

I have a twin-plate OS Giken, and while it may be overkill for what you need, they are nice to drive and come with a lightened flywheel. See if there are any 2nd hand ones going:D

isent that an on/off clutch and a bitch to drive in traffic?

Extreme single plate ceramic button clutch with sprung centre and heavier pres plate, cost me $880 fitted. Sprung centre so wont piss you off, easy to drive for a performance clutch. Very good feel and take up, i have 200rwkw and its fine, whatsisname has the same clutch handling over 250rwkw. recommended.

Nah dude... i have one with the solid center. I think the ones with the smaller pucks are harder to drive as there is more pressure on a smaller surface area. The OS Giken plates have 4 large pucks, and i find it quite easy to drive. Peak Hour is a pain... but isn't it always?

i have a hks twin in my car. grips like mad, no play at all. moving off on a hill is a pain.

from what i've heard, nismo, os giken and ats make clutches for road use. the one i have in mine is a race clutch. i was told this after i put it in...could have gotten either one of those other 3 for the same price...

    • Given by the sheer number of questions about offset, absolutely not. If you had the information formatted this way: Space from R34 GTT hub to outer arch = 100mm Space from R34 GTT inner hub to nearest suspension arm = 90mm. (making this up) Buying a wheel that was advertised as Enkei RPZ5 Diameter 18in Width 9 Distance to arch = 84mm Distance to suspension arm = 76mm 100% of people would know instantly if it fits. They would absolutely also know instantly how close it fits too, and no questions would need to be asked. You would know you would have 16mm from the guard and 14mm from the suspension arm.
    • Ah ok, for example for the apexi ecu I heard that it's pretty limited with the information it can give you. Also not sure why Nissan used the consult port over the obd2, what the idea there was.
    • Diagnosing with and without is mostly the same. You need to know, as Duncan asked, and what conditions. Car hot, cold, idling, driving, if while driving what rpms, is when you're varying, or is it when held constant.   From there it's understanding what can be causing it. Starting with pretending all of the sensors are correct. Which means if it's going rich, why would it be thinking more air is going in than it is, and under what conditions. So things like if only when under boost, it could be be a loose intake piping joint. It's just understanding the system, and understanding when/how the problem occurs, and then if it's only occuring in specific scenarios, what can be causing it.   ECU specifically, if it's aftermarket, it'll have software you can use, for the Skylines on factory ECU, there is Nissan Consult you can use. Most ECUs have a way to get data from them.
    • How do you go about diagnosing ecu's that don't have data logging, is it more experience at that point and just trying out things that you think will fix the issue?
    • Stock O2 are basically useless beyond anything at stoich. Any misfire will also be seen as lean. The stock O2 also read a collective exhaust gas volume, not each cylinder. Sputtering and missing means not each cycle is firing, and some are. Which means even if rich, as shit, on cylinders as they miss, they'll read lean, but the cylinders that did fire will read rich, and combined, well, they can read anything from rich to lean.   Start with the basics before even going looking at sensor values.   Edit: I say the above, and that's coming from the guy with a few thousand dollars worth of scan tools sitting right beside me right now that I use frequently for my job.
