You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

Kinda off topic, kinda not....I would like to If I may talk clutches.....

what are ppl using thesedays? With what power, usage of vehicle and longevity?

I would like some recommendations please....but not of extreme....as it appears my years of support of them and my purchase of many(probably around 6 id recon) clutches still doesnt deem me important enough of a response from them....so they can shove it.....(this is the 2nd time I"ve contacted them with null response....grrrrr end rant)

Does anyone have the hookups for clutches at a better price? Its been so long since I've been in the trade now...wahhh retail hurts..

Want me to bump the idle up a bit? Perhaps its harmonics at that idle speed?

I heard something banging underneath the front too when you took off, perhaps the cooler pipe? Could you be feeling that through the wheel somehow?

I'm running an exedy HD organic, not huge power 180-190 rwkw but lasted me near on 3 years of track use so pretty happy with that.

Haha enjoy.

What do you reckon of the new marv creations? Popping candy and jelly bits.

Popping candy tasted good, though I'm guessing it's targeted at kids as pop rocks usually are. The jelly one got stuck in my teeth hard lol, ruined a pod block of chocolate for me...but my mate loved it so meh. I love mousse too, but can't beat the classics sometimes. Do you guys do Top Deck in bar form?

Cooler pipe could be right to some extent seeing as the engine has moved a little.. But I doubt that much. Drive it tonight when I come past

At the moment, I have the Nissan GTR clutch but Racepace will be strengthening it to handle 300+ rwkW.

Or go an Exedy or Nismo Coppermix.

On The Run Motorsport could help you out.

A friend of mine ordered off RHD Japan's website, take a look.

Did you pop your motor? What's planned for it?

I'm using the Nismo Super Coppermix twin plate. Great clutch which can handle a heap of power (400+kw) and it feels like your using a standard clutch.

spoke to jamie at garage cafe one of his pistons was knocking or something, he's getting it rebuilt (forgies) with -5s or similar

Think he wanted -9's. Were trying to convince him to go -5's to make use of his built engine, we'll see if he will succumb to the powah!

But nah -9's great for the street!

Hey Toby accounting question -

Is there a downside to buying a car outright (cash) I mean I know you won't claim interest etc but that's fine cos you don't have to pay it in the first place.

So im guessing the only negative is that you don't have the leverege that keeping the cash at your disposal provides

Does that make sense?

      "CAD" version 1.0 It will have a 15mm lip around the top for 6 × 5 or 6mm nutserts and fixtures (two on each of the three straight edges), and some pinch weld on any exposed edges, it has three mounting points, one of the power steering reservoir bolts, and two on the rad support, my 120mm hole saw will make short work of hole for the silicone joiner, with ample room for some pinch weld  I've also got enough Carbuilders "peel and stick" heat shield to cover the outside of it at the coolant expansion tank and on the engine side, as pictured, and internally on the lid and where the fuse box is, I've also got some thin, about 3mm, black 3M single sided sticky foam stuff that was left over after sealing some door drafts at home to help seal the lid As for the shape, it "sort of" matches the shape of the fuse box, so shouldn't look to "out of place" The lower area and hole for the intake will need pinch weld with a balloon on it to fully seal the hole and bottom of it, that will happen after it has been fabricated so I know exactly what size is required  Filter service has been trialed,  and so far it was a simple process  Just need to get some alloy, and then head into work to use the guillotine and break press in the workshop Hopefully it should be sorted in a week or two Guestimated outlay will be under a $50 for the stuff I don't have on hand (alloy, 6mm nutserts, the pinch weld, and wrinkle paint) Disclaimer: That's what the "voices in my head" are telling me how the filter box should end up getting done......lets see if they know what they are talking about

      Have been polishing up the trailer rims as they had been sitting in the shed for a few years and are really in need of some love. This was after a couple of passes with chrome polish - coming up quite well ✅ .

      Welcome aboard! Is your Skyline auto or manual? I'm assuming manual. Does it have any mods done yet?

      Another "where do these lines and plugs go" RB25DET question

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Hey mate, the brown and grey plugs would usually go to the TPS, brown one goes on the bottom connector and grey is the top but isn't used unless the car is auto, your TPS looks different to mine though I've got a series 2 engine.
