LOL... Farken R33, money vortex. I know the feeling, some how at night your brain keeps telling you to spend more money on it for no reason.

You going to All Jap Day? 

 

Also there is merit to @BK's post, however might not apply to Nismo clutches out of the box.

For context, my current shitbox once upon a time also ran a Nismo slave, paired with an NPC 10" carbotic. Long story short, I needed a new clutch and was too lazy to do it myself againn so I got Western Clutch in St Marys to supply and fit a new clutch.

When Scott at Western Clutch supplied and fitted his modified Xtreme ceramic clutch (bends the clutch puks forward to allow gentle engagement and also driveability at low speed) he advised an OEM slave to be installed to allow the clutch to fully disengage as the Nismo slave has a reduced range of motion. 

The same clutch is still in my car (9 years old), been through 3x motors and seen power from stock all the way to 438kW, albeit it is starting to slip if you don't let it fully engage before hitting the fun pedal.

haha nice, some faith mine will still hold up for a few more track days.

It grinds 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th if I try and shift over 7k rpm, hence you see my track videos I'm fully granny shifting LOL

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
