hi all i just moved to okinawa from the united states and recently purchased my dream car an r32 gtr. the car has 600hp and has what feels like an unsprung clutch in it. i was told its an os giken triple plate. the release bearing is making an incredible amount of noise and i wanted some insight as to what clutch i can use for driving this thing around the island is sooooo tiny and there wont be any chances to stretch her legs until she goes stateside in 4 years. any help would be greatly appreciated. also i looked at he thread about clutches and nothing seemed to help my situation. i also would like to know what spring rate coilovers to buy as i am looking at fortune autos i have had them on past cars and loved them again i am looking for comfort not performance as the car will never see hard launches track days etc just maybe a spirited start every now and then.

thank you in advance to all who can help!

Just keep in mind.....good coilovers cost around $1500 per corner. Anything less than that cannot be described as a "good coilover", really only being able to be described as "not terrible" at the upper end down to "really crap" by the time you get to $400 per corner.

I mean, just good dampers on their own cost more than $300 each. And they're only "good" not "great" in terms of the toys that come with them. ie, they're not adjustable, not height adjustable.

Brand names for damping = Ohlins, Bilstein and some others, depending on how rich you are.

Brand names for Jap coilovers = Cusco, Tein and so on, and there is no overlap between those lists.

valving? shouldnt that be adjustable?

BC's are adjustable, doesn't make them any good at all, whatever the setting.

A quality shock is gonna cost some coin either way. A Nismo S tune should do the trick bang for buck.

Yahoo Auctions.

Not sure how good the Hypermax or Cusco.

Im tryin to save up some coin for the Ohlins .

If you come across the Ohlins black flag get them.

they are as rare as bigfoot riding a unicorn on a rainbow.

      I love my R32 interior but then I also love the generic 90's nissan vibe from R33s/S14s/Pulsars etc 100%

      I have seen this happen in cases like the R33 GTR where they eliminated the ATTESA actuator rod retaining clip to save 5 cents. Parts diagram references it, the actual part doesn't. Also if you try and look up the specific retaining clip on an R33 GTR it resolves to nothing. But it exists on R32 GTRs as I discovered a week or two ago.

      The R32 suffers from an instrument binnacle that is uncomfortably close to the design of a VN Commodore's. But beyond that, the layout of the rest of everything, and the materials (ie the vinyl coverings on dash, armrest, etc) are acceptable, and the patterns on the fabrics are not as blergh as those in the R33. And R33 seats are....quite unattractive. I know it's only small details there, but I reckon the R33 got worse than the 32. But the big blergh is the overall shape of the dash on the R33. It's just has that whole Maxima/Pulsar sort of look to it. Nothing special at all. Generic Nissan sedan. Whereas, at least the R32 dash/binnacle was different. Less a wide expanse of boringly curved plastic. More a "cockpit" sort of look, even if nowhere near to the degree that the A90 Supras got. R34 seats look good on their own, until you realise that they are indistinguishable from the shape and fabric on 70 other Japanese cars. And the foam bolsters on them suffer even worse than the earlier cars. Other than that I don't really have an opinion the rest of the R34 interior. I took the bits of the R34 I wanted (brakes and engine) and added them to the best external appearance Skyline in the modern era (the 32). So nyerr!
