We all make mistakes sometimes. Want to talk about it?

Stock gauges are way out, not a very good indication at all..

Hahaha GTR bar isn't for sale guys. Unfortunately some suicidal cat jumped in front of the car and cracked the bar, so I'm going to repair it this weekend and get it painted. Reason I need a 2nd hand front bar is so I can put the car through compliance and not have to wait for the GTR bar to get repaired. Thanks for the offers. Abu

He is in Vic.

Hey I am just after a front bar for an R32. Doesn't matter what kind, I just need it to be in good condition, cant be cracked or broken. Prefer it in silver, if not then in any colour is alright. Can pickup from anywhere in Melbourne. PM or call/SMS 0416 623 381. Thanks in advance, Abu

I have read very little about these pumps, but what he is saying is also the same as what I have read. It's supposed to be a slightly bigger version of the 040 which looks the same, and is of a similar size but flows more. If its a genuine BOSCH item there shouldn't be any issues with it. Apprently is supports about 700hp + and flows something like 300L/hr. (approx) They are an intank pump so should go in with a few slight adjustments.

Check the fuel filter. Plugs may look fine but maybe the gaps are out. Maybe bad batch of fuel? Also have a look/check your intercooler piping incase something has popped off. Don't think it would splatter if it was running lean. By the sounds of it it seems as if its over fueling. Hope that helps some how.

Hahah Welcome to SAU man. GTR looks good, good luck with it all.

Apparently, if I am not mistaken, EXEDY don't offer warranty on performance/racing/sports clutches, only on standard replacements? I'm sure the clutch would have held up fine witht that power if he actually got what he paid for. I think the cause of all this is the pressure plate it self, not being an EXEDY pressure plate.

Yep, so go 3", no point going to a 2.5". Click My Controls at the top of the page, then edit profile information on the left. Then where it says Custom member title, change the writing in that field. Hope that helps. Abu

That’s not right at all.. I have driven 3 x cushion buttons and 1 x brass button. The cushion buttons felt a lot more firmer with more pressure for some reason, and the brass button which was also in an R33 feels very light. The pedal it self isn't heavy but has a firm bite. The cushion button I drove in the R32 was very heavy compared to the brass button in the R33, roughly twice as heavy, so not sure what the go is there? But like stock? That cannot be right. I think the full-face organic clutches are slightly heavier than stock, cushion button the next one up from that, then brass button. Contact SLIDE and ask him what the go is, definitely something sus I reckon. There is no way that a cushion button can be lighter or as light as a stock clutch!

Thats really bad man. What pressure plate is it & what box did yours come in and did it have a new thurst bearing with it? Thats exactly what I picked up yesterday. 5 PUK Brass button clutch, I think something like 1,200kg clamping pressure for the pressure plate. Comes with new thrust bearing as pictured.

150 - 200rwkw depending on tune. It's only a 2.5L remember.

Also mine came in an EXEDY box, bright pink. So not to sure what SLIDE sells?

If I am not mistaken, SLIDE's clutch packages include an EXEDY clutch plate but the pressure plate is something else, hence the cheap price? I bought an EXEDY clutch directly from EXEDY yesterday, HDB and it’s got an EXEDY pressure plate, which is pink with an EXEDY logo in black. I am fairly sure the clutch also has EXEDY engraving on it.

2.5" is probably better suite to an NA car. Most of the turbo guys, if not all, includng my self run a 3" turbo back. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...php?showforum=8 Have a read through the link above. It's the "forced induction" section and has a lot of info in regards to after market performance mods. You can buy off the shelf 3" exhaust system for your R33, which would be cheaper than getting a custom one made up, also less stuffing around. Have a look in the for sale section, under traders, there is a lot of well priced systems available. Good luck. Abu

Man thats, fair harsh lol But I like it, so it made my signature lolll

Yep that motor is awesome. That’s what you get with a good tune, as well as regular tuning, servicing and maintenance.

AU ones will fit, and pre-AU will also fit - EA, EB, ED, EF, EL. Basically the EA, EB, ED, EF, EL ones wont fit on the front due to the offset, but are fine on the back. The AU ones should fit fine on the front and clear the brakes.

Yeh I reckon Phil, how tuff would it look with full vertex and a big cooler! FC's are one of the tuffest looking Jap cars I reckon.

Hey adam lol yeah Bryan and I are good mates from back in the days, and I met the guy with the RX7 through Bryan.

Oh yep fair enough. Plug and play units seemed to still cost around the $500 mark for initial tune and installation (plugging it in..). As far as I know they don't come programmed with a base map hey, so the tuner has to practically start from scratch? Thanks for the info, I will do some research.

So about $900 new for the ultimate, and how much for installation and tune? Thanks, Abu

Sorry what I meant was if he is getting the car tuned with something that controls fuel, that will increase the fuel flow, so in that sense there is no need for a after market FPR as the stock one will provide enough pressure for whatever he needs to do. If he does't have any form of engine managment which controls fuel, which I now know he doesn't, as he only has an AFC. You will need to get it tuned otherwise it will wont run right.

Mine doesn't tend to rattle until I get to about 300 - 310km. Its definitely something to be concerned about if your getting it at 260km!
