next mod

[ImPrOvIsE]

heh guys. Trying to decide on my next mod. I know youve probably heard this before but should i get a safc or a bleed valve system next. I currently have filter and exhaust mods. THe car is running quite rich though.

Also, my clutch is starting to go. Any estimates on what a new one might cost. After I get both the safc and bleed valve i will not be doing anymore mods (heard that before!). THe standard clutch should still be able to handle these few mods I imagine?

Thanks people.

If your clutch is already starting to go, then nothing will save it. Budget about $900 for a better clutch. I'd go the SAFC first, as when you increase boost the overfueling is very bad, and you get some large flat spots in the power curve.

[ImPrOvIsE]

Heh Paul. thanks for the info. Is the 900 for another standard clutch or a heavy duty one?

thanks

[GTS-t VSPEC]

It's for the heavier duty 9-puck clutches alot of the guys have. I'm sure if you did a search you'd find quite a few threads in WA on clutches:D

save up some $$ and get an ogura flywheel as well when you do the clutch.

Learn from my mistake....

clutch first, then afc+boost+tune together...

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Rev, I'm surprised you didn't recommend a large FMIC:bahaha:

[ImPrOvIsE]

do you think this light flywheel should come before my other desired mods rev210? Is there a reason for suggesting the flywheel while doing the clutch? cheers.

I have worked out an equation over the last few months. It is not a very complicated equation though!

Skyline = (- money+time) - thin wallet = FUN

[rev210]

I advise filling the boot with concrete. And putting yogurt in the helmet.

The clutch requires the removal of the gearbox. And the flywheel requires removal of the clutch. So it just saves you doubling up on labour.

Also make sure you have the timing set nicely. That one is a free power gain. Block the carbon canister to plenum hoses as well.

If you have the extra funds for the lightened flywheel, then it is a nice mod. Otherwise do the SAFC.

go play GT2 on playstation. get a stock car (my favourite for this excercise it the Micra Super Turbo)

put it against similarly stock cars.

then go get a superlight flywheel. You absolutely spank the other cars after that.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Bam, It's the little black cannister to the right of the radiator:D

Alex, I don't think GT2 gives a very accurate portrayal of a lightened flywheel:p

[rev210]

GT2 not realistic on the light flywheel? sure it is!

I mean I was getting 13.4's with it. Down from 13.8.

Basically the first few gears are completely different to a stock unit. Roughly reducing the flywheel weight by 1 kg equates to an acceleration gain of dropping 50kg from the cars total body weight. With over 4kgs lost from the stocker it's like stripping 200kg out of the car for first gear.

How much r the lightened flywheels

[GTS-4OrCeD]

Get the latest speed magazine, it has what mods different Workshops use on R33's and what effect it has.

Very interesting read, and will help you sort out which mods should be done when.

The rev210 workshop shows you how to drop your 1/4 mile by 0.4 seconds with the addition of a light flywheel.

[ImPrOvIsE]

whats a rough price on the lightweight flywheel?

[drifta]

look you can ask all us guys but most of us are not mechanics with all these answers got see Steve at SST NOW THAT MOST OF US AGREE WITH THAT
