Yet another newbie.


Recommended Posts

Guest Sim32

Hello All. My name is Sim, I just purchased a 92 r32 gtst wine red. It was actually "Nismo_Boy's" car, a member of these forums.

Anyway picked it up last nite and the clutch decided to let go :cheers: so there is 800 bucks from direct clutches..does anyone know if that a good price? thats for a Heavy duty Dakien with a large pressure plate (400hp) and machined flywheel blaa blaa, i dont want a brass button.

Anyway way went for a cruise, saw 51IDE at roma street, nice car man, paint looks wicked :D and also a few other 32 gtr's 08LUR and 350ME etc etc.

Anyway as i am broke at the moment the car will stay pretty stock. I think i will just track down a gtr intercooler and run 14 psi (dual stage) and aim for 160kw atw and a highish 13 sec quater..

(car already has exhuast and filter)..anyway might catch up with u soon.

Cheers Sim.

I paid $400 for my 3000p pressure plate organic clutch from Nicks Clutches. It's an awesome clutch. I love it :rolleyes:

I'm Erin. We are having a skyline meeting this afternoon if you want to come down and say gidday! It's at the Homemaker Centre on the south side of brisbane. Refer to this thread for details.

Hmm. Not happy. went on a nebo cruise 2day and besides the clutch being a bitch, i found the car very skatey with the hicas and stock suspension in the rear end. Not only that it seams a rock or somthing jammed in my front left disc and made one hella of a noise so i had to turn around and limp it home. The noise dissapperead but is still making it quietly, so it could be a bearing or disc or something..(pads are still ok)..

anyway clutch is getting done 2morrow.. $$$ debt :cool: from Albion Direct Cluthes. At Albion of course. HD Dakien 400hp pressure plate from a touch over 800.

Cheers.

sounds like nebo, any mountain run is hard on the car

hicas takes some getting used to, but i love it now,

well new clutch is done

is pretty piggish to drive because of large pressure plate i guess.. i dunno, wanted something light on the foot, but a heavy duty pp seems to *** that up.

anyway car goes in shop tommrow..im getting this bad rear wheel shudder and it could be my diff or something, also gotta replace all my bushes.

:P

not happy

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
