Adam you won't regret the NPC man... I've got one in the car atm, changed the stock one cos it seemed like a logical thing to do (spigot was rooted but the stock clutch was near new). Clutch is lighter than stock and is even easier to drive

hey john, did u get a new flywheel or did you machine the current one? im wondering if its worth it to get a new flywheel, if it isnt needed then i dont wana spend the money, and how much stronger would the say the clutch is compared to standard? can it handle some abuse or is it like standard, i.e do a couple of normal launches and its toasted?

i know the clutch toasting process of my clutch now was speeded up by me riding it alot, coz it was was so easy to ride and i was learning to get used to manual on it, lots of steep slopes didnt help either.

Talk tonight if I make it there on time

I'll wear the frilly ones just in case

John: That Hamish guy just posted on his for sale thread. Did he reply you? Also, I thought Michael's gonna sell his 32gtr? Thats gunmetal too.

Nope, haven't heard nudda.... Yeh Michael was 'thinking' about it. Not sure of the condition of his car though...looks pretty neat and tid though.

I love fighting about personal preference of products, its what keeps car forums going really! lol

f**k apexi and blitz....K&N Pod filters FTW ......(runs and hides)

Does it come with GABNR plates?

If yes, keen

Pahahaha yeh gabnr plates will be a must with that car....dirty gabnr

[Isola]

....explain?

[brizzy_rocker]

i would have my foot 1/4 way down on the clutch while going up the slopes so that the car wouldnt shudder and stall LOL, good old leanring manual days, i dont do that anymore but in the beginning it was pretty much inexperience and i was scared that the car would stall or roll back or something, u get what i mean ?

[Brandon]

Yeah you make a good point. We'll see though... I love gun metal btw

I love chromies

John: The other John

[yaface]

me john? or other john?

I'm not dealing with anyone called hamish...

Damn us and our highly common name...could be worse I spose. We could be called mohammed...

LOL! Can't believe you learnt how to drive in a 33 gtr....you asshole, lol. Nah Dan took care of it for us. No machining needed and kept the stock flywheel. Getting a lightened one can change the way your car revs, most often for the better though. Standard clutch on a 33 will handle around 210rwkws.... the npc one I have in there has been known to handle 300kws atws and the clutch still holding the power strong... You upgrade your clutch so it can handle more power and more abuse, but I wouldn't suggest you abuse it...

Ooohh....you're making my pants come alive

A stock clutch will handle MANY MANY MANY 'normal' launches. Riding them is what kills them, and that will kill any clutch.

Beefier up clutches can just handle more power before they start slipping. You still need to be able to drive.

Ahhh, well that explains it. Maybe drive properly once you've spent all that money on a new clutch?

God damn, who TAUGHT you to drive?

Change gear son!

[brizzy_rocker]

haha yeh it was fun, the day when i picked up the car from GTAuto after RWC and inspection was the most fun, it was lke 530 lots of traffic everythin goin home from work etc, that was the hardest drive ive ever had in my life, i kept on praying and i kept on telling myself dont crash, reminding msyelf of the rules i had learnt, keep safe distance etc etc,

it was hard for me to make the move from driving mostly Auto Land Cruisers in qatar that were left hand drive to a manual GTR that was right hand drive, quite confusing in the begining, and the car i learnt driving on at the driving school in qatar was a shitty corolla that was abused so badly by learners that the clutch was lke in half depressed position when disengaged, and the car would shift to 5 instead on 3 unless you really looked at the knob and pushed it hard enough into 3, fun times.

Nahuhh. K&N!!!! Lol, in all honesty the apexi ones are good.... I use the K&N ones with the extreme top and inverted shape.... Similar design to the apexi but half the price. Blitz are the ones that f**k your car up

Can I add more fuel to this fire and say AFM's are FTL ?

[Smity42]

Thats not going to add much fuel, I agree with you

BUT, i'd still run an apexi even without an AFM

Woohoo! Flight's booked for the 18th to site!

[brizzy_rocker]

whats wrong with blitz filters? i have a mines induction kit with blitz sus air cleaner filters or something, cant tell exactly coz all the papers and instructions for them are in japanese, i do find though that they make very little induction noise compared to apexi ones , you can really hear the induction with apexi filters, i was gona get them changed but theyr washable so just asked Dan to clean them up for me.

[Smity42]

which site?

I'd like to read something on a comparison though. I was told by Gavin, Matt and Mark (other than Mark recommending vipec) that running afm would have better fuel economy and easier to tune (comparison between pfc and dejetro).
