Aberax i see your having troubles deciding what clutch to choose..... I highly recommend the same one that i got which was through the group buy that madaz did. I had an R33 GTST with 250 RWKW and i hammered the thing with no problems at all. Before this i went through 2 other clutches. The NPC setup was VERY easy to drive and was capable of a fair amount of abuse :) . Good luck in what ever clutch you choose to go with :)
hi abe im oz pommys dad

we just had his standed flywheel machined the npc clutch worked a treat and had been in the car over 12 months before he sold the car .

it copped a fair hammering in the time he drove ....i mean thrashed it lol . b4 then i had fitted 2 clutches in about 18 months too the car

pedal had good feel and the cluch was good in traffic

cheers dean

Thank you Dean, Allan, and Everyone else that helped. :)

Looks like i shall get the NPC Organic Coppermix, or i may email him asking about the 5puk Ceramic. Its going to be more expensive then the Xtreme, but i suppose you get what you pay for - Poor Man Pays Twice.

Thanks Again

I need to borrow a trailer ... 6x4 or 7x5 sized.

Can anyone help me out? Need it for this weekend, can return it Tuesday. Needs to be registered of course. I'm traveling interstate to pick up a go kart for the little lad.

Can anyone PM me with any loan trailer they can grant me.

:)

i like to think of myself as a pretty patient guy....

BUT FOR PHUCKSAKES I WANT MY SKYLINE BACK AND FINISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, i know what you mean. Mine has been off the road for 2-3 weeks with a fried clutch, and its going to be about another 2-3 weeks before its good again :)
Ive been waiting since November for my engine. Been driving an R32 with a busted engine since October. I win :cool:
i have had my 31 since october, and only done one skid. depressing.

workshop has had it for >5 weeks. depressing.

i know there was a fair bit of work, but geez, srs?

LOL i don't know what your complaining about, my cars been off the road since march last year and i have only now just started to build the engine.

Hey guys,

After finally having run in the engine, i'm looking at getting it tuned

I've got a power fc at home, but been reading a bit about D-jetro recently..

just weighing up my options:

1) Buy Nismo AFM ($800-$900)

Or

2) Sell Power FC, Sell Standard AFM then Buy D-jetro

anyone here run a d-jetro? cons/pros?

David Blue32 run d-jetro and swears by it for being able to run the car and problem solve air leaks and turbo problems

Abe a NPC ceramic should be cheaper than a xtreme

from memory that price you quoted used to be for his 5puk ceramic maybe he has put his prices up i dont know

So should i get the Organic Coppermix, or get a 5puk ceramic? I think you posted earlier in this thread i should go ceramic, but just want to reaffirm.

never heard of it? :cool:

any more details?

Are you maxxing out your current stock AFM's? You'll need nismos only when passing the 300kw mark, and even then you can get your stock AFM's recalibrated to nismo spec for around $275 each...

cost $550 for the pair, however for that to be required you'd also need at minimum n1 turbos and bigger injectors...

at the moment its standard injectors, with garrett 2860-5's

installing 700cc's when it gets tuned, so i'm sure (it better!!) it will exceed 300kw..

Abe - my driving style suits a ceramic so personally i would buy ceramic for durability factor, look @ how hard drifters punish there clutches, mine doesn't see any of that so should last a while

btw i have xtreme atm but would happily get a NPC twin if i had the money or just a NPC single if i didnt, i did buy a NPC because mine slipped but then it didn't give me any more grief so i sold it to AM performance and he too loves it like OZ pommy

You still need your Power FC to run D-jetro (I think)

I have D-jetro on my skyline and its runs awesome track and street 324kw no problems.

you need a different type of PFC if you're gonna run the Djetro's - the MAP sensors plug directly into them...

regarding the tune, if you get 700cc injectors and get your afm's recalibrated, you'll be seeing 300-350kw with ease (based upon the -5's which are very good turbos)

you may find your afm's leaning the mixture out above 300kw - your tuner will be able to take care of this and inform you when/if you need afm's - I'd say conservatively that you would need them a tad before hitting 300kw.

    • Unless there's something particular about the Greddy manifold's injector holes that I'm not aware of, those injetcors look to be totally wrong. They would absolutely want to be spaced up to get those long snouts out of the runner. Which, I think, is not usually the way that that problem is solved. I think the problem is solved by using the correct injectors, which would be much more like what Andrew posted.
    • Thanks for the reply, So i've continued playing around, and fitted the injector adaptors onto the injector, the fuel rail is not able to be mounted now as the injectors sit a bit further out. I suppose the point of the adaptors is so that the injector nozzle isn't so deep into the intake? I suppose 1mm extra on the o-ring would do it but still can't mount the rail onto the intake haha. Waiting on a reply from Aeroflow I'm sure there's something stupid that I'm missing...
    • EMJ33 or EJM33 - west end
    • I have a radium fuel rail on my Greddy manifold and used the supplied radium fuel injector to manifold adapters (The round green things pictured). I did always wonder if you could just go ahead and use the second lower hole like you're doing... Wouldn't thicker o-rings solve your issue?    
    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
