I remember saying that once....right before i spent 30k on my other 32 lol

haha one day bro one day, when i have enough cash saved up,my plans are to buy a R34 GTR V-Spec II NUR and then modify the R33 upto about 350awkw,

if i earnt this money i wouldnt be as sad as i am now, the sad reality is that i am 18, unemployed and still have another 2 years of uni to go,

Martin, no pain at all! It might not even be electrical current but you do have to shand on metal plates with no shoes on! we got ours from the good guys for like $100

Haha, yeah I was joking. But i've just read up on it, it is indeed an electrical current that goes up one leg and down the other. Thats right past the fun zone! :)

There some for ~$30 on ebay, they should do the trick doesn't need to be HK.

PS NPC twin > Nismo ha ha

Jim Berry Clutch FTW!

nah man there is sum special equipment u need to open the forks up on the gearbox, only a cuple of guys have it in qld, and the guy Dan at ERD uses, just got back today from holidays, so gearbox work will start today, the rest is all nearly done,

probably wil be monday or tuesday next week if everythin goes according to schedule and theres no hicups etc.

brake pads are being put in today, machining rotors etc will be finished today as well i think,

power fc is in, engine check light was on so Dans troubleshooting that,

front pipes and high flow cat need to be put in, then the full service needs to be done all fluids etc,

cam gears and timing belt and water pump and a new battery wil also be put in,

thats all i can think off,

after that its going to be off to EFI for dyno tuning and then on the highway home to St. Lucia

out of all of that all that was needed was one synchro replacement, and full service and brake pads and the clutch which i found out about today.

ha ha good old Jim Berry

We threw out a lot of old pressure plates cleaning up Dans the other day....should have taken them to Jim he could have pivot modified them and charged 1200 for em! :)

hey bro, i would love to get the nismo twin plate, heard awesome things about them, but the sad truth is i have now spent nearly 7 grand on the car and thats not including the clutch, it hurts me because all i needed to spend was about 3 or max 4 grand, the rest was all things i wanted not things i needed, Dan recommended the heavy duty clutch from NPC, the one that replaces the stock clutch, he said it would be strong enough for upto 280awkw,i dont know if it will be able to handle launches etc

and im calling it quits for now, once this stuff is done, all im gona do is service it, ive spent way too much money on things that werent needed and that money could have been spent elsewhere,

-FML-

NPC7056HD -- 240kw

NPC7056HDB - 300kw

Bigmouth Street - 300kw

Bigmouth Track - 400kw

NPC Track TWIN - + 1000kw

NPC Street TWIN - + 750kw sprung or cushion (cushion is solid centre plates)

NSK7056HD - 240kw

where HD = heavy duty

HDB = heavy duty button

and I don't think you should do limiter launches on the one you're talking about either.

NPC twin for 2k+? Thats in the range of the Nismo twin coppermix (unless you got hit for tax when you import it or get it locally, which is around 3.5k). But if Mark uses that on his 7sec car, it cant be bad at all. DO IT!

yeh, as long as its a bit stronger than stock im happy, ive only done a launch once at 5K rpm and thats it, i never need to launch as i dont drag etc just a street car so should be good enough i hope.

*nods*

Those good for 300kw would be sufficient for normal driving but probably not limit launches. I'll get a comfortable twin if I'm ever changing the clutch for sure (either Nismo or that NPC if its really gentle on my foot).

i think my car will make around 230 to 250awkw after everythin is done, so clutch is good enough for the job

f**king woot, i changed some settings and my quote button is back!

Should be more than enough for your car given it is on street duties

nismo twins are rated at like 500hp, the ine on my car is 1000hp, and you only have to loook at the construction to see why

http://www.nengun.com/nismo/super-coppermi...in-plate-clutch

600ps... which i think its close to 600hp too. But my justification for that is comfortability. Everytime I read about someone's review on them, they're bound to mention how comfortable it feels comparing to other twins. Although NPC seems to be better value for money, but if I dont ever need that kinda rating, I'll go with whichever that feels more comfortable.

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
