Yes your ceramic turbo lost its wheels... :no:

Not his GT30 that he fitted 4 weeks ago... and he said before that theres no smoke... so i assume it can't be that severe.. well he hopes not anyways

I fitted my GT3076R 2 weeks ago next tuesday... im loving it.

Nice one matey, at least you worked it out. Bet when you saw that, you felt both relieved and really dumb at the same time :no:

Do your intercooler pipes have a lip on them? if not, you may want to get one made, otherwise, everytime you hit high boost, it'll pop the pipe off

lol i felt more then dumb and it wasnt hanging to far off, just pulled the bumper off, went down to bunnings to buy a hose clamp and fitted it and all fixed, man was it a relief took it for a drive down the beach and everything is good !!

Thank god we helped you sort that problem out....

lol @ boost no work in neutral

hahaha :no: golden

hey guys not long ago my clutch has been getting bad, and as i was driving it changing from 2nd - 3rd it felt like a a big slip ever since then my car cant seem to boost? i tried it before reving it in neautral and cant boost at all ? any ideas on whats happening ?

cheers sam

your car isnt like the ones in thse jap draag movies lol.

Cruise generally you'll find that a narrow clamp will bite into the hose more because it has less area of the hose to compress - trade off of hose life because given enough force it can cut the hose clean through if the clamp is narrow enough .

Same old song - have a read of Corky Bells Maximum boost , he shows how some race apps have tags welded to the plumbing and some flexible eg wire means of resisting the pipe spreading through internal boost forces . Doing things this way means the clamps workload is reduced to sealing the hose and pipe/duct , not stopping the pipes bolwing appart .

Cheers A .

    • Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.
    • Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.
    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?
