Car comes back again tonight with mesh behind the holes in the front bar and the indicator lights put in.

I'll take pics tomorrow when it's still day light.

Goes in for the full tune up and dyno run in the morning!

I'll post the results up once I get in here to work tomorrow.

Thats the clutch i'm getting except it's been slightly modified to handle things alot better.

Dan might come on sometime and explain the clutch.

But from what Dan just told me, the clutch in the skyline now is absolutely rooted and it wouldnt of even lasted another week.

Looks like a button?

looks pretty much like my single plate 5 puck unsprung organic button clutch but in a multiplate.

its on or its off, it shudders, its noisy, its an absolute bitch in traffic. its there to handle the torque my cars setup puts out you get used to it but why youd sign up for that unless you needed it is kinda beyond me.

otherwise my clutches end up like this

but seriously, it seems like overkill

Belgarion I believe it is multiplate, twin I think from memory, exedy don't make a single plate clutch in a multi format.....

But good analysis of how it will be to use!!!

Unfortantly, due to the old clutch being completely rooted and near destroyed.... ran into a few problems last night when fitting the new one, so a new cover thing needs to be replaced which can be brought today as everything was closed last night.

Had to again reschedule the tune and dyno run again for this morning and have delayed it till next week.

Was looking forward to this mornings dyno run!

Were you selling this car a while ago?

What made you change your mind?

Yeah, was selling it a few months back.

2 people were interested.

1st - applied for a loan but fell through/wasn't approved.

2nd - another person said he`ll find the dosh for it and never heard from him again.

Was going to go for a GTR. But thought I keep a interest in the GTST and see what I can really do with it!

Well.... clutch I will have to get use to, thats for sure.

It is a bit like a button clutch but, can still ride it a bit.

did NOT stall it once last night!

But all up, this car has some serious balls and is running way better then expected.

cant wait for the tune up on tuesday.

gawd that clutch looks like itl be a bitch to drive!! I recently had a brass butt exedy clutch 1050kg clamping force installed in mine and traffic is a killer, feels like theres about 1cm of play between it being full on or off, not to mention the new found muscles in my leg from the weight of the peddle. Not real friendly but lays the power down very nicely :down: and apparently will handle very good for drifting

So... what's the deal with the clutch? The pictures you posted... is that yours? Or is the link to exedy site the one you have got? Because they are totally different! Has it been modified that much that it is now unsprung? Also the friction plates are totally different... :)

I do have to say from Thursday night though, that it looks very nice. Dan has done a neat and tidy job :mad:

      Starting again

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Duncan · Posted

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
