1 plug from a cheap set of chinese iridium sparkies didnt work

new champions in, started but runs like crap.

cheers. I thought it wasnt meant to start. :down:

yeah i put my 575cc's in my gtr with a stock ecu, ran extremely rich till we lowered the fuel rail pressure (even then it ran poorly), and once we put nistune in we were able to get the K constant entered and tune it properly

nistune ftw

-D

550cc siemens I paid $360

how much are Siemens 700cc Ben

given the current shitty exchange rate (0.89c vs the 0.98c when chad and I got our sets), just over $600 for a set of 6 side feed injectors 700cc (assuming its for ur rb25). i dont get mine from ebay, i source them direct from miami so I can take advantage of the 1 year warranty. Side feed injectors are strangely more expensive than top feed injectors, gtr 700cc injectors can be got for $550 given the current exchange rate.

if you can wait till the dollar gets better you can save a bit of cash, otherwise I can get them in after 2 weeks shipping time.

Injector brands are either Siemens-Deka, Bosch or Lucas, whichever meets the specifications requested.

yeah for RB25 thanks Ben

in no rush just wanted a ball park figure of what to save for

if our dollar goes up, you can expect to pay around the $500 mark rather than $600 odd... let me know when u want em and ill calculate the cost (if you watch the exchange rate, you'll want something in the upper 90cent range for a decent buy

your other option is to get top feed injectors and get a rail conversion kit

*******Continued from the Spotted Thread.******

What is wrong with the Xtreme Clutches? I know your reason Dion, but why Exedy over Xtreme?

My tuner suggests Xtreme Heavy Duty Kit, ISC suggests Xtreme Motorsport Kit - Driven a mates R32GTR with this clutch and wasn't too keen, he isn't too keen on it either for a daily. Then speaking to Jim, he suggests neither....ahhhh, too many choices.

Surprising how many phone calls i got today from people i haven't spoken to in ages, all asking if i was at G1 so we could catch up, was at work however :down:

A few people on this forum have driven my car, and every one of them have commented on how it has a nice pedal - I totally agree. But, if I'm: a) doing a fast hills drive or b) stuck in traffic, it dicks around.

Abe, I am pretty sure Extreme and Exedy are the same thing - the $2,500 twin plate clutch I bought from Brenton at Adelaide Clutch for my S15 had BOTH brands written on the box.

Buy a heavily clamped (like 1,100kg - and you will need it with your power level) organic single plate clutch and you will be set. It will only last 40,000-50,000km, but they are relatively cheap ($1,000ish) and are pleasant to drive with. And if you find the pedal feel too heavy for you, you can modify the spring setup at the top of your clutch pedal assembly to make it more to your liking.

DO NOT under any circumstances get a twin or triple plate - they are almost always absolute cops to drive, and you will end up hating your car - I certainly did with the S15 - biggest mistake I ever made and I blew the twin plate in under 15,000km (did include many drag days though). I know some people have had joy with twin plates, but for 99.9% street driving and for any sort of daily driving forget it.

Depends Andrew, spend big dollars on a decent Nismo twinny and she'll drive like standard. But no, Xtreme and Exedy aren't the same

Wouldn't mind a Nismo Single Coppermix.

I've got the Super Coppermix twin in mine. It used to have a standard clutch, with the Nismo one put in, I didn't even notice the clutch had changed. Drivability is incredible

I installed a Extreme cushioned button on a mates car not long ago, drives like standard, holds 350 + rwkw, took out a exedy cushioned button that melted! and was bloody heavy under foot too.

Extreme have got there skylines kits well sorted these days, would recommend no problem at all.

+1

the nismo twin is what i'll get once my current one dies

i'll grab the nismo master cylinder at the same time too tho

Alot of incorrect info flying around in here.

The whole idea of going for a twin plate is to avoid a heavy pedal....which is what a single with a thicker diaphram will give you.

I'm not even a fan of the singles with solid centres that are running buttons because they are very unforgiving on you and your driveline......these don't affect pedal pressure though.

Triple plate is a total waste of time for your car Abe.....not to mention that you will always be trying to release 3 plates before you can change years...not very good for lightening shifts.

Nismo have probably done more testing on GTR's than anyone else in the clutch department and have come up with 2 versions of the Twin Copper Mix one has a slightly heavier diaphram than the other, hence slightly heavier pedal but more clamping pressure.

I ran the lightest of the 2 Twin Copper Mix kits and found the pedal to be lighter than the factory single because they rely on surface area (being twice as much) and not clamping pressure which gives the heavy pedal. The use of organic material is for forgiveness on your driveline (ability to slip it in traffic) but with a mix of copper to increase grip and reduce fade on the track.

IMHO, either of the 2 Nismo twin setups give you flexibilty between street and track which would suit your specific requirements Abe.

Having said that, a car that's used mainly for track like Andrew's (Blue 32) would not benefit from this set up as he would want very little slip and lightening changes.....plus he doesn't idle in traffic so clamping pressue is not a problem in this instance.

    • I know this one’s the BB one. My tuner did make mention about the actuator. I am curious about the VCT as well
    • Might also needs a stronger actuator with the right preloading. With older 2019 built bush G3 units, BB upgrade or 21U housing down size makes a pretty decent gain in response as well. 
    • Hey lads  so im finally putting together my rb30 forged bottom end and ran into an issue. I measured my main bearing clearance with arp main studs torqued to 60 ft-lbs using ACL H series STD size bearings and standard, un-ground crank shaft journals and got an oil clearance reading of about 1.3 thou measuring straight up and down and about 2.8 thou measuring at a 45 degree angle (just above and below the parting line). My machine shop said they measured the main tunnel and it was all within spec (they didnt say the actual measurement) and to go with a standard size bearing, which i have done and the clearance is too tight, I'm guessing because of the extra clamping force from the arp studs distorting the main tunnel. I was wanting to run about 2.5 thou main bearing clearance.  My questions are: 1. could i just use the HX extra 1 thou clearance ACL bearings? that would fix my straight up and down clearance making it about 2.3 thou, but then would the side to side clearance be too big at around 3.8 thou? 2. what actually is the recommended main bearing clearance for measuring near the parting line / side to side. i know its supposed to be bigger as the bearing has some eccentricity built into it but how much more clearance should there be compared to the straight up and down measurement? at the moment there is about 1.5thou difference, is that acceptable or should it be less? 3. If i took the engine block + girdle back to the machine shop and got them to line bore the main tunnel (like i told them to do the first time, but they said it didnt need it) what bearing size would i buy? the STD size bearing shells already slide in fairly easily with no real resistance, some even falling out if i tip the girdle up-side-down. If im taking material out of the main tunnel would i need a bearing with extra material on the back side to make up for it? this is probably confusing af to read so if something doesn't make sense let me know and ill try explaining in a different way. My machine shop doesn't come back from christmas break until mid January, hence why i'm asking these questions here. TIA for any help or info 
    • I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard 
    • Well, do ya, punk? Seriously though, let's fu<king go! The colour and kit looks amazing on the car. Do you have any shots from the rear? I don't quite follow how the model came around. You bought the white kit and he modified it to match your car? Looks nuts either way!
