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.

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

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.

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.

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.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      Interesting. My tuner said after the tune that my fuel economy would be better but it is the exact same from what I could tell even though my car was running rich before lol. How much do km do you reckon you get on a full tank of petrol on your commute?

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By PranK · Posted

      A little follow up here on the ceramic coating.  We've had storms galore here and I've done a few ks, enough to gross them up  Consensus is that they didn't get as dirty as usual, the coating definitely repelled a little of the dirt and I think they kinda snowball. They get a little dirty and then they get dirty faster which makes sense. Cleaning them regularly would allow them to protect better.  Cleaning was a breeze. I tried first to just hose them off which, unsurprisingly, did nothing. But, making the wheels wet and then just wiping them over with a used but clean microfibre cloth was all that was required. I didn't need any cleaner at all, just water and a cloth. The wheels look amazing again.

      Gave her a nice wash today and took extra time to clean off the tree sap and tar and crap. We have a usable garage now so she'll stay cleaner longer. Took a few snaps in some nice light afterwards.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.
