Yeah i had the same problem.

Im going to find a cheap(er) twin second hand, osgiken or the like, and then use it until it needs a service then get it back to new. should buy me some time.

But at the end of the day i guess you look at your car and say i want x amount of power, what clutch is up to the task.

rob,

You have the same clutch plate as mine. They need to have a 'bedding in' period. I have no shudder at all, I can take off from idle in 2nd gear without kangaroo hop. You do have a very agressive 2500lb pressure plate tho, makes trying to slip the clutch a bit of an effort over stock.

The pressure plate is something you don't have to go othe top with and in return you get a very stock feel to your clutch, with great grab.

'bedding in' only takes a hundred k's or so. It involves slipping the clutch with a few more revs than normal and not giving it any boot fulls until its done.

If you give it heaps before hand it may take little 'chunks' of material out of the disc.

Yeah he is!!!! My skyline is going in on thursday.... I think Troy is putting his in early next week!!!!

Hehe Ross has soo many cars that he is starting to mix them up :D ... If I played my cards right I could have got Troys flywheel I reckon :)

grrrrrrrrrr

cheeky bugger

yeah mines in on tuesday, i could of done it this week but his install guys father died yesterday so to be on the safe side we went for next week.

$760 to install, my flywheel, 2500lb pressure plate and the 9 button purple clutch plate.

Good price Troy, I think SAU must be sending plenty of work his way, people blowing clutches left and right. Could you ask him if he has any plans to make twin-plate clutches, I think there would be a big demand for them, cause even the 2500lb clutches don't survive big power.

See'ya:burnout:

skyzerr33,

Are you sure you want the 2500lb pressure plate?I'm pretty sure He does a 2200lb which is significantly lighter. Even a 2000lb would be good.

The 2500lb is a leg breaker if you are not used to them. And it's quite a bit of overkill clamp wise.

I agree. I have the 2500pound pressure plate and the thing is a bitch to drive in peak hour traffic. You *have* to rev to about 1500-2000rpm and slide the clutch out (makes hill starts a pain too), otherwise you'll get shudder and the car will bunny hop along. I dont think rev gets this, he has the same 9 finger/puck clutch but a smaller pressure plate.

Don't worry.... I wouldn't do that to ya :(

He told me about the mechanic's father also. I fully understand why he won't be in this week but I am taking it to him this thursday still and he said a workshop two building's down can take the clutch out and put it back in and he can still do the clutch work himself. He seemed pretty confident that I would still receive the same worksmanship though. I didn't find out if it is going to cost any extra due to a third party though. I hope not as I only have just enough to do the clutch as is...

I'm pretty sure I am getting the same 9 button purple clutch plate as you too...

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
