Tangles, got this reply from my friend who worked in the radiator industry for about 10 years:

Dodgiest backyarders is Motor Radiators in the city, can’t remember street name but I think it’s Halifax, but definitely don’t go there. Probably one of the better quality places near by is C&C Radiators in Kent Town on the Parade West. The guy’s name is Greg… Looks like a viking… Not the cheapest place around from what I used to hear, but definitely one of the better repairers. Hope this helps.

:(

has anyone here replaced a clutch themselves?? if so is it hard, did it take long or is it just easier to get it done by a pro??

Its not that hard, The gearbox is just f**k off heavy thats all, if you had someone to help you its a bonus..Once you got the exhaust undone and gearbox off pretty simple it helps if you have that clutch lining up tool also...

But I do mine on hoist these days..instead of driveways

Hai peeps :D

may just be easier to get it done by a pro then, dont have the space at mine to do it anyway...

yeah its going great booked in to boost worxs in early feb, fitting and tuning a few things should be making 300+kw

Nice mine makes that with minor mods already :D I'm wanting the 350kw mark now

Hope it goes well for you!

What year is yours??

i currently have a hks twin plate that has crapped itself and im fitting an exeedy twin plate with fly wheel....

Lets us know how you go........I'm thinking of fitting the Exedy Hyper Carbon Twin D Core (with the Boss Drive).

Interested to know if anyone has had any experiences with a Boss Drive setup and their thoughts.

NISMO also do a similar unit with a Boss Drive

i was gonna get one of those coppermix clutches from nengun, just didn't wanna wait 3 weeks for it arrive though they are really good clutches though, if this clutch goes then i will probabbly go for one

Yeah I think both units look pretty good but I was trying to compare the 2 with their different intermediate plate setup and I'm not sure if one is better than the other.

The NISMO is about $250 cheaper but I'd like to know which is the best one and what the deal is with the Boss Drives.

90 with a 97 33 engine... yeah im hoping the tune goes well, the set up i've got should be good for about 330kw.... im planning on getting a rebuild over june july so it can handle more power

    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
    • Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
