Haha I meant the opposite Cass! :P I was gonna have some ridiculous polished dish for events like Autosalon etc.

Wouldn't trust replicas for daily driving.

I'd buy stockies for track, or some kind of 15/16" wheel.

I bought my GTR back in August 2005.

Changed new front disks and brake pads.

Rebuilt Rear Diff.

Rebuilt Turbos to steel internals.

New OEM Clutch put in cuz the HKS Twin Plate just about had it.

Aftermarket Front Pipes and a Highflow Cat put in... Also have a Cat Back oval shape muffler going on.

New OEM Slave Cylinder.

Did more rebuilding rather then modifying.

I can dump money in it for the "Go Fast Mods" but I know 1 thing leads to another as this car cost already, as it is.

It is lightly modded and good enough for my weekend drives :)

I say you should enjoy what you got there (your R32 GTR) as you know, the power bug has hit you and you will never be satisfied...

First it is 200+ kWs, then you want 300+ kWs and you will be chasing 400+ kWs... It never ends... Leaving a bigger hole in your wallet.

Lower your standard of your expectation for your car and you will enjoy it better.

Remember, you do have decent mods on it... Utilise it and enjoy it...

That's what I think anyway :D

I'm curious as in why you're binning HKS twin for stock clutch.

I'm guessing you haven't raise the boost level and tune it correct?

no not really enjoying it as we have spent the whole time try to book other places and get out. Once we get past mackay then we will be fine and can resume holiday. Not much we can do hey

'just about had it' grant. Means it was broken.

As to his choice in replacement... *shrug*

I know, why stock, wouldn't sane person go something beefier or stock clutch are as good than people make them to be?

When I had 33R, the clutch didn't last, and I upgraded to OS Giken Triple plate.

Correct Cass! :)

Grant, the car came with a Twin Plate... Who knows how long it has been in there...

Judging by my "whining" rear diff (at the time), the Twin Plate would have seen a lot of 5000+ RPM launches.

It lasted me about 2 years of ownership and started to slip = car won't go anyware = had to rev the hell out of it just to hope it will grab to make the car go.

Pulled the Twin Plate out and there was burnt bits of clutch / ash... Flywheel had wear and tear as well.

Being a 1st time GTR owner at the time, didn't know much about the characteristics of driving with a Twin Plate as there is no play (well not much) it was either IN or OUT of gear and best driven for track use.

At the time it was a daily for me so I need a plate that was good for that...

So I decided to go with a single OEM plate as I know Nissan would have engineered it to put up with a 2.6lt, Inline 6 Twin Turbo.

Meaning it would have to be at least a heavy duty single plate clutch.

:)

Geez, would hate to be on run from mother nature during holidays.

Queensland doesn't have much luck with weather lately...

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
