Well I think ive seen it done so I know its possible. And the reason I want it is I dont have to take my eyes off the road. The bluebird had it btw and its one of the most best features of the car.

Fair enough. Taking your eyes off the Road to look at the speedo doesn't make you crash though, if it did everyone would be crashing all the time!

That wasn't my main reason for getting one, but now that you bring it up, what makes u so sure people aren't?

If there was a way to determine what number of crashes are caused by people looking at their speedo I bet the number would be higher than you expect. It would certainly be higher than 0, a lot higher.

Thats like saying just because looking at your phone while driving doesn't make you crash all the time there is no problem doing it. Drivers taking their eyes off the road is one of the leading causes of crashes.

Well I have no trouble looking at the speedo, but understand everyone is different.

Just to clarify, your r33 does not have obd2 so there's no way that unit will work. There are gps based hud units that will work, and would be more accurate anyway.

But GPS units wont display revs indicators, lights etc. Surely someone has wired in one of the units on a skyline before?

Getting OBD2 to work on a skyline would be virtually impossible and fairly pointless, and I would put money on it that it will not happen.

Also, you dont need to see your revs from a safety point of view :)

I could have sworn i saw one on some UK skyline forum. maybe it wasn't OBD II but it was a hud unit wired in.

I don't like GPS based units because they only update every 3 seconds or so and are always showing your speed from 3 seconds ago.

Nope, skylines don't use obd at all. They use "consult" which was only on Nissan.

      Nismo coppermix twinplate clutch

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
