Money Money Money

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

[WARLORD]

nothing wrong with Granny shifting I have a friend who has been pushing 800hp in a r32 track car and it works for him the last 8 years

How have you setup the stock airbox? I’m assuming there’s extra airflow to it?

[WARLORD]

correct i have ducted cold air straight to two 40mm pod filters . we tested on a dyno airbox on and off and not difference so 0 restriction

You should definitely give the beast a squirt on the track, great to enjoy the car
