Hicks, like JiMiH said, its an aftermarket clutch. 5-puck ceramic plate with heavy duty pressure plate from The Clutch Factory to be exact. Makes for damn interesting driving :-) If I had to do it again, it'd be going for an Autoclutch 9-puck jobbie, same force distributed over a greater area is slightly easier to drive with.

Pulled 280rwhp at Barries Dyno in Queens Park.

Or more than likley, you'll be showing us your tail. :D In any case, your outta range for the stock turbo award :D  

Speaking of fuel pumps, Barrie showed me a Walbro in tank pump yesterday, a bit of a change from Bosch I thought. Seems like a good deal though, flows 195ltr/hr, enough for 500hp for $220 and a higher model available that flows 255 ltr/hr and can handle high pressure.

That 9-button Autoclutch is whats going into mine, with a stock pressure plate on saturday (I'm ready for the oil bath)

I'll post some pics of the clutch plate and flywheel later.

It's a great setup because the ceramic buttons are located on two bonded and riveted metal discs (just like an organic) and as such there is some 'squeeze' between the plates that allows for a more forgiving take up. All other button clutches are just 'finger style' they are usually on or off and 'chatter' on take up.

    • Tape some wool onto the vent then take it for a drive I did this to my reverse cowl and was instantly unhappy, as anything over about 60kph would have the wool enter the engine bay, thus just adding underbonnet pressure and stooging my coolant stack, it did let alot of heat out when stationary though, which really didn't help once the car was moving, with the reverse cowl you could watch the coolant temps cheap up the faster you went on the hwy, I assume it would be alot worse doing track day speed With the vented bonnet (just after the radiator and about 1/3 up the bonnet) on my old R33 the wool on the leading edge sat at about a 45° angle as air poured out of it From looking where your vents are, and their size, I believe you should be fine at speed and air should be evacuated from the engine bay, I think it will be a night and day difference when stuck in traffic though for removing the trapped heat, and not sitting there cooking when parked up after driving around... #convection  Post wool tuft pics and data for science  This beastie is one nice and unique rig, enjoy
    • It is possible to do this stuff for "cheap". But you need to be able to get deals on all the bigger items, and it really helps if you're fully capable of doing your own work. As soon as you're paying retail for new parts, or buying "kits" because you can't fabricate necessary bits and pieces, and if you really need someone else to take the reins of doing the work because you don't have the space/time/skills/confidence to  rip deep into the car and put it back together in a working fashions.....then you pay. And these days, pay means a lot of money. You'd think things would get cheaper, but they don't. They just seem to keep getting more and more expensive.
    • It’s almost the price of an engine build, you won’t have anything to bolt onto it though 
    • Hopefully it's enough to help with the temps! I was also only shit stirring, regarding Murphy's Law basically. I've found, what ever spare parts I have, are the parts I don't break. Ever. Also have never had issues with oil/spinning bearings until I put oil pressure gauges on the car. 😛
