I haven't really taken any mate. Car isn't at home at the moment. Are you looking at doing a twin 3 inch?

Yea mate, I'm doing a twin 3inch on my 32. I got AES building me some custom mufflers ATM, so I won't have any clearance issues, mine will be alil diffrent, as I'm running twin 3inch to the diff and than 4inch into the rear muffler.

Car is finally booked into Insight on the 19th of April for the ECU, fuel system and sensor wire in plus the tune. Thats the good news. The bad news is that V-cam aint gonna fit with my pistons and ho

Small update.... ITS RUNNING. Fired first go! Smells like burnt dust apparently .

A 9174 would just make the EGP pressure issue worse and in my mind it seems like a bit of a GT RS shit going on. Not that it's horrendously bad (It wouldn't be no twin buttplug pressures), That's NOT

Rang NPC and Exedy today. Exedy were pretty damn helpful. What I need is the dimensions and tooth count of this spline hub. They might have something off the shelf which might suit me to a tee and just plonk it in my casing. Sounds good to me.

Basically its tuned length front pipes, into a muffler where the stocker lives which has two 3 inch 'holes', twin 3 inch out then it joins into one piece around the diff. Not enough room for two pipes. Then back out into twin 3 inch, muffler then twin tips.

yeh those tuned length front pipes in particular is what I wanted a pic of, just to get a rough idea on how they went about em, as theres so many different ways to run em.

Cheers

I know the rear one wraps over the front pipe. Makes getting them off an absolute bastard.

I just went through my photobucket, no pics of the fronts there :(.

If Exeedy can't supply a centre hub for your clutch to match your input shaft, they may be able to provide you with something that will be close. Ie, sharing the same number of splines, but a fraction too small for the shaft.

Given to a machine shop with a CNC EDM wire cutter, they could quickly re-cut the spline to suit your requirements.

I've heard similar good reports about the NPC carbon clutches too. Streetable etc. There was a guy up here with an 800ish hp R34 that used an NPC clutch to allow the holinger box to link up properly. My exeedy carbon D twin is taking some getting used too. It tends to slip when its cold, but get it hot just once and it holds really well. It would be interesting to know if the NPC's also have to be up to temperature to get them to hold.

I'll see what comes up in the next few days. I'll get the relevant info off PPG and go from there. Thanks for the info, Ian!

I had custom tuned length front pipes on my GTR years ago, it definitely kept the gearbox oil warm

And the heat that comes through the floor, esp passenger side. Jesus!

Nothing yet, Eric. Car is still at the panel beaters.

Oil still hasn't been drained out of the box yet lol.

Michael Hill has given me his spare stock GTR box so hopefully over the Easter break I'll get it in then get my one stripped down.

I am considering putting a PPG dog set into a Getrag. The ratios are pretty sweet, even with the 4.11's, although would be better with the taller diff ratios.

You're having problems finding a center hub for the larger input shaft?

I had that problem when I went with the PPG dog box and larger spline input. Ended up going with a twin carbonetic clutch which has the optional center hub that fits the ppg input.

That's good to know, cheers! What does it drive like?

I'm really liking this getrag idea. Does anyone know what tail shaft to use with the Getrag in a 33? I know you use the R34 front shaft but not sure on the rear. I'm assuming the 34 unit also?

      Anti Squat Kit

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      What are you doing with the car? street car or race car? People get hung up on the squat of the s/r chassis rears. There is positives to the squat if a car is setup and driven correctly for it (correct ride height, spring rate, alignment, damper valving). Generally just lengthen the rear traction arm by 5-10mm and that will help the squat and bump steer too. You are also correct with the roll centre too. This too also needs to be adjustable if you start messing with suspension geometry.   Having done quiet a bit of testing on race cars this year in regards to rear squat, I've seen some big positives from it in regards to drive off corners and traction.

      I find I am using the MX5 for everything except long overnight cruises with Jackie, or, if picking up the kids to go somewhere, the SS has so much more room inside, and is much more comfortable if your going to be doing Hwy driving for 6-8 hours And the MX5 isn't bad in stop go traffic for a manual transmission car, whilst the clutch kit has been upgraded from stock, it is still light, and also not having a stupidly light flywheel in it helps as well, I've spent alot of time sitting on the M5, M4 and M7 stuck in traffic when plodding around the Greater Sydney Region in it Another benefit is MX5's are not really a car that gets stolen, you can pretty much park it anywhere, and it will still be there when you return

      I can totally get why you like it for that sort of commute. I was thinking BoganDore because it's such a lazy drive, for things like stop start traffic.   I used to do over an hour in stop start shit from one side of Bris to the next, twice a day. My choice of car was larger displacement, with an auto. Basically for torque in low rpm/very low speed, and no clutch pedal. But loved a fun manual for the weekends, which the partner has (plus had the LandCruiser too for other fun drives). I now have an EV as a work car, and I tell ya what, ultimate daily driver, especially if youre out of energy, like I often am after work. I don't even need to touch the brake pedal   That said, I'm presently rebuilding the Liberty GTB to get it setup for weekend drives and track abuse! So small high revving turbo engine with 6 speed cog swapper!   But for your style of commute, I'd probably take the MX5 too!   For those choices, I'm ignoring fuel economy. Because I know how atrocious V8 daily life is for fuel from when I used to daily a manual SS, ha ha. Hence why I know I love the daily rumble of a V8

      People just don't understand how good MX5's actually are and how fun they are to drive, park, manuever. You feel like you have got some fun cheat code, while everyone else is sitting in their luxobargeSUV like normies who missed the point of living. It really is that noticable. As long as you/your stuff fit, and you're comfortable (they are), a MX5 is the best car on earth to daily around.
