Exedy clutches are relatively cheap and there is nothing wrong with them as said above the HHHDB is really strong and is what I use and no problems at other 300 but you would be able to use the cushion button with 250kw which is a bit more friendly on road driving of even HHDB will do. I had a exedy oem replacement and it was running 300kw and would only slip if you clutch kick 3rd or 4th so they are good clutches.

The guy I got the car off thinks it has a triple plate cushion already in it?

Possibly it's just seen to much and is on its way out.

How stiff is your clutch birds?

When DVS got in mine he said it was a real weird feel

lol @ triple plate cushion. I don't think that's even possible, but anyway...if you do have a triple plate it would not be giving up under ~250rwkw assuming clutch is in good condition. The only way it would is if you or the previous owner screwed it by slipping it too much in traffic (twin and triple plates need hard launches and no slips to live). Also, a clutch can just wear from use.

The bottom line is that, regardless of the clutch you have, you need a clutch that can handle 250ish and the cushion button or HHHDB will do that. My clutch is very easy on the leg, feels a bit heavier than a normal clutch and this is my daily driver so I wouldn't tolerate anything more. It will probably feel quite light compared to what it sounds like you've got now anyway.

Haha well I purchased the car not knowing anything about cars.

Now I have come to found when the guy said "ohh its tuned to 13psi as well"

He actually means he just turned the boost t up to 13psi lol.

My bet is that I f**ked it learning to drive a manual in it as the skyline was the first manual I have driven.

So its probably from word go been screaming for help

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.

      So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about

      This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but..

      Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
