Ravenoak's DR & R34's would be a close tussle for the best I have seen. They are both excellent cars in their own right. As I said before, if I can make my PNV as good as them I'll be over the moon.

As for clutches ............ driveability can only be attained with a single plate clutch & today's technology might just give it to you. Have you researched maybe bigger diameter, heavier diaphram etc etc etc.

I will be looking at all these options when I need to replace the clutch in my DR. For my HR I have it all sorted I think, I'm looking at an Z32 TT 250mm single 6 puk clutch & modified VL Turbo assembly.

Cheers, D

NPC are an excellent clutch.

Excellent work with the car - I heard from a friend of Ross's it had gone up in flames, is good to hear its actually alive and well!

Have you ever driven a car with a twin plate clutch?

Yeah i had a 32gtr with nismo twin plate. Great bit of gear, not all twin plates are harsh.

have to disagree with that statement...I've driven with a few twin plate clutches and they're oh so driveable so much so that unless you were told it was a twin plate you couldn't tell...

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
