Hi all,

Just a quick question... does anyone know how much a electric mirror is for an r33 s1. Yesterday i was at home on the comp and some F@#$Ks came past, (about 15-17year olds) high as kits and thought it might be a good idea to kick/punch my side mirror. My neighbour saw it and pissbolted over here. i went in the car with him, and chased them up the street. when i caught them they were pretty shit scared, rightly so. and then the usual shit happend "i didn't do it", "wasn't me man", "you cant prove anything"... Well that may be true. i didnt see them but i rang the cops anyway and reported them, coz i got their names and numbers, (which are probably fake).

So if anyone has a passenger side mirror that is up for sale i am in launceston, tasmania, give me a pm and let me know a price. It has to be silver.(i would possibly consider 2 black ones, passenger and driver) i would prefer one silver one though.

Geez shit like this pisses me off.

Anyway hope someone has one, or can at least gimmie an idea of waht one costs..

Thanks

Ydawak

good luck fixing it up again mate.

cheers. Luke

Well.... I got a new, (second hand) mirror yesterday and it will go on, on the weekend.

Thanks a lot to livicuru from SAU for sourcing me the mirror..

I found out that the kids have been to Ashley a couple of times. (anyone from tassie will know that this is the youth detention center here. My uncle in law works there and he knows the names of the boys. So all i can do is...... NOTHING...... :cool:

Oh well.. Doesnt matter it is fixed now and if it happens again i can tell you there will be more than some abusive words happening.

sequence of events=

:blush: = ;) = :) = :laugh: = :yucky:

Well done benny, glad to hear you got it sorghted. Hows the car after the ride hight change? My clutch will be here on thursday as Air Freight forgot to pick it up. So it's gona be a late night on thursday, as i won't start work on it till late after work. Ohh well. It's gona be a biths to get use to a super heavy duty clutch. LOL.

Hopefully the car will be drivable before Xmass.

got one from Aaron form Slide Performance.

EXEDY clutches are fitted with premium organic friction materials and are resistant to slippage and burst. Increased clamp loads give the necessary capacity to handle modified engines. This is the preferred clutch for street and light horsepower track use.

The drivability will be similar to a regular clutch, however drivers may experience increased pedal effort, slight shudder and increased cabin noise due to the performance characteristics of the clutch. All Exedy clutch discs have high capacity sprung centre dampers to reduce the drivetrain shock and impact.

Exedy H/D Organic kit incl:

* Exedy H/D Organic clutch plate

* RPM Brass Button Pressure plate

* New Bearings

Kit can handle 240rwkw

Was going to go for something heavier, but my wife has to drive the car too, so it needs to be user friendly.

Im just getting an organic as well, just be easier when reversing/parking and stuff.

It ended up costing more than I would have liked, but if your going to do something, do it right. It was $880, including postage.

It has 3200kg clamping pressure and will be rated up to 300kw.

Im not too knowledgeable with installing and stuff, so off to my trusted mechanic, hate to think what its going to cost, but least I know it will be done well.

Vandals are about the most pointless diks on earth... sorry to hear about your damage. If as you said your neighbour witnessed the act that's all the proof you'd have needed, especially if the perpetrators are known for this kind of behaviour. You should have called the police and detained the little shits until their arrival...It's within your rights to do so.

THAT Is one heavy clutch, the standard one is 650kg force, the heavy duty one is 850kg, superheavy is 1025kg and so forth, THAT is hard. DAMMMMM

well mine cost me $340 deliverd to my door, that is with the discount, normally almost $400.

Yeah well i have been stuffen arround on cars all the time. And since i have done about 5 front wheel drives now, this one is EASY, just time consuming.

I'll find out when its done... dont really care, as I wouldn't really take my car to anyone else unless he retires. He's coming off holiday for the day to do it for me.

Jim told me the standard gts-t clutch is rated at 1550kg, the GTR is 1800kg...

In the long run I'm looking for about 250rwkw so I wanted to play safe and get one rated at 300

good luck on getting yours in, I'm going to have to bus around and borrow cars till then.... not cool, nothing that I can borrow compares to the line

I got mine today, pretty happy with that! not that its going to help me for almost another 2 weeks...

At least petrol is going to be cheap... *calls out* "mum, car needs refill"

Aus Post is completely swamped me thinks...

I got it all off, took 1.5 hours, piss of piss, now all i need is a clutch, SUPPOSE to be here today, still not turned up. F U C K aus post.

Blody express post my ass, next day, delivery, phew.

Have you machined your flywheel yet shags?

Absolutly flat out its beyond a joke :)

I cant wait for holidays :ninja:

Yeah I skimmed the surface, all good, it was actually preatty good, just had some glazed marks on it. Will see how it goes today, the clutch arrived at 4:50pm, just in the nick of time. I am about to go to my mates place to get it put in, so have car back for Xmass. YYEEEHHHAAA.

My mate has all the things i need in his workshop. The flywheel is ok, you should see the old plate, it looks like something chewed it up and spat it out. LOL.

Hey I was wrong the other day when I said about the clutch pressure, it was in pounds not kilos.... my bad.

I could have swore Jim said kilos, but when I opened the box last night it was pounds. So, sorry on the mis info guys!

All good mate. I finshed mine last nigt at 12 midnight, had to do the box twice, the input shaft would not line up, very fidly, BUT dam does it bite or what. I got an Exceedy clutch and it is awsom. Love it, a bit digital at the moment, on off, but need to get use to it. LOL

LOVE IT. Now for some spitfires.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • 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.
