Changing my OS Giken Quad to something a bit more forgiving as a DD.

The car is 338 AWKW and I do not expect to take it past 370 AWKW with the work I am having done soon , the quad is over kill for this HP.

Been looking at 2 types, Nismo C-spec twin copper mix and ATS Pro-Spec single , Carbon on carbon type, I think this is the model?

Any feedback or suggestions welcome before I have to confirm the work .

Nismo c spec.

Been in my car for 9 years, 40,000 kms, over 300 launches currently holding 472 rwkw. Good enough to fark up an OS GIKEN 5 speed. Lovely to drive.

Ordered yet? Lol

Fixed, :D

I have Exedy twin in my 32 which runs 11.1, has been there for 8 years of massive abuse and still going

Nismo twin was an Exedy twin

plenty of great clutches to get you there and hold for a long time.

Im currently running a OS giken TCS2B twin plate.. has the cool rattly twin plate sound, is ever so slightly heavier than the nismo twin pedal wise but thats because the nismo twin is too light for my tastes

Im also a big fan of the ATS carbon twin/triple plate as they both have a great pedal feel and progressive bite for daily duties.

These are both Puk style clutches where piggies Nismo is a full face organic disc.

Hope someone can understand my next question

I am changing my turbo from a T78 to a PT6262 and installing Poncams Bs, I wanted more power down low as it is a DD, the mechanic said it will spool much earlier and I will have a bit more torque down low.

I only have a problem on steep hill starts at times if I do not get it right , if ride it a little with the revs around 3k it is OK BUT not much room for error. Will this extra torque and earlier power from the new set up stop that lag when the clutch engages, even when ridding it, it lags.

Not sure if LAG is the right way to explain it, it feels like the revs die even if you are still trying to build them as the clutch engages?

I have not ordered anything yet but only have a short time before getting the other work done and have to make my mind up very soon.

Seems the C-Spec and the ATS carbon are both good choices and cannot go too far wrong with either of them.

Thanks for your collective help every time I need it :yes:

Hi Dave

Had the Turbo and Cams changed and the car ran great, the clutch was soooo much easier with a bit more low down power, a different car , you could feel it working like a car should not a heap of crap.

The brown is the new tune :yes:

I was really happy for 300Klms and lost the bloody tune :angry:

So have to start all over again, going to change the ECU , maybe Haltech or MoTech , do you know anything about them or recommend another brand for me to look into? :action-smiley-069:

Motec is over kill on a street car and costs a fortune to unlock every single option on them

Haltec will do everything you want and so will a few others, link is a good choice for the fact it goes into the original ecu case and looks factory

As long as they don't lock the ecu (password it) then as long as you have the correct software then you can't save it to your laptop

So if they do not lock it up with a password I can use the tune or whatever is put into the ECU?

Then you say if I have the correct password I CANNOT save it to my laptop, was this a TYPO ?

As I said, I am learning :)

Nismo c spec.

Been in my car for 9 years, 40,000 kms, over 300 launches currently holding 472 rwkw. Good enough to just an OS GIKEN 5 speed. Lovely to drive.

Ordered yet? Lol

Just drove back from Sydney after the mods and with some power down low it is easy to drive, I will see if I can post the new Dyno Tune

Yes sorry I meant to say you can save the tune to your laptop

I knew what you meant, I think I will get a cheap laptop to do only car stuff and not use it on the Internet as there are too many things that can stuff your computer up if you use the Internet, well I think so?

Afraid of the Internet? But on the Internet now! ;)

Not afraid of the Internet, just what it can let through to my computer and take a safer option , keep stuff that does not need the Internet away from it. :yes:

I have a seperate laptop for interweb banking and car tuning and another one for everything else, cause doesn't trust anything :D

Good thinking , I was going to use my laptop just for this but had to do a couple of OS trips and started using it for everything, now I cannot even log on to this Forum with my laptop (using PC now)and had to re register under a different name T R NISMO1 , so unless I have the shop clean it out I will get something else for banking and private info without going on other websites , paranoid , you bet :)

I clean 30 to 60 spams from my mailwasher every day, put them on my blacklist and spam list but they come again and again and it is bloody annoying :(

    • Thanks everyone for the replies and suggestions. Got the seats out (hoping I could find some existing grommets but no such luck). By tapping and measuring etc. I could figure out where I could drill through if needed. But first I borrowed an inspection camera and managed to go through factory holes in the chassis rail and could see that the captive nut was holding steady which is why it could retighten. So it was indeed a stripped section of thread, so I applied downforce by levering the bolt head with a screwdriver and went slowly back and forth until it came out. Camera helped a lot cos I could monitor that the captive nut was holding tight. Now I just have one very seized main subframe nut to tackle 馃槄
    • BOVs do have a purpose, if you ever log pressure before and after the throttle body, you will see a spike pre throttle on lift off from a WOT condition. Enough to bend throttle blades / damage e-throttle motors or simple assist in blowing off cooler pipes. FWIW, the above on really applies to those running at least 2 bar of boost. OP shouldn't have an issue, on the other hand, here are some videos of my shit box over a decade ago with some succulent dose with the airbox on and off. That shit box is unrecognisable these days 馃珷    
    • I've tried all different combinations of BOVs/ no BOV and stock bypass valves over the years, on gear changes the stock bypass valve seems to get the car back on boost quicker because in part the turbos wheel speed isn't being slowed down by reversion, although they have issues holding boost much over the stock setting. Most aftermarket BOVs you can adjust the spring, tighter will make it open later and close sooner, but in my experience it'll cause a bit of flutter at low load/rpm anyway. I've also got some input into this whole no bov causing turbo wear, never had an issue on any on my turbos HOWEVER, I got my R33 GTST with 200k kms on it, with from what I can see still has the original turbo, no lateral shaft play but has about 4-5mm of play in and out which to me seems like a worn thrust bearing from years (100-150k kms?) of turbo flutter running no bov, so maybe there is some truth to it in the long run. But that'll never stop me loving the Stutututu while I have the car.   OP just wants to know if he can run a atmo vented BOV with no major issues and the answer is YES, plenty of people do it, there's no harm in installing it and seeing how it runs before spending $$$ on an aftermarket ecu, last time I bought a Nistune it was $2400 for install and a tune , unsure of todays prices but you get me. Crazy money to spend just to fix the minor inconvenience of stalling that can be overcome by letting the revs come down to near idle before putting the clutch in or a little bit of throttle to avoid it. You're better off leaving the ecu and tune for after a bigger turbo/injectors have been installed to take full advantage of the tune and get your moneys worth.   Let OP have his Whoosh sound without trying to break his bank haha
    • I see you missed the rest of the conversation where they have benefits, but nothing to do with avoiding breaking turbos, which is what the aftermarket BOV made all the fan boys, tuners, and modders believe was the only purpose for them...
    • But they do so for the other reasons to have a compressor bypass. It's in the name.
