He also lightens cast flywheels and with 4000lbs clamping pressure, which is what I read, you're asking for an amputation.

Only if you get a stock flywheel lightened (which i'd never do after mine almost amputated me a year ago).

you made me lol

I figure why spend $2k for a Nismo clutch when I can get a nice feeling clutch from a local supplier that will hold the same power for half the price, keep lol'ing.

hehe sorry i wasnt laughing at ur recommendation

just sounded funny when u said 'from personal experience but you haven't used it b4'

and yes, nismo twin plate coppermix comes with lightened flywheel (as a kit)

which is beautiful in traffic

asked a mate who has used both, and apparently the comp version is just heavier thats all. so STD one would be fine for day to day duties with thrashing here andf there

comp one basically will handle everything you throw at it, the one i drove was the comp version and seemed awesome! lot more driveable and lighter peddle then my GTR exedy sport ceramic 5 puck

Cheers for that Simon...I thought that was the case.

I think I'll go for a STD unit as long as you reckon it will handle the occasional side step of the clutch at high rpm........I need it to be good in heavy traffic but it also needs to bite when the odd occasion comes along.

Got a phone call today from Jim Berry after leaving a message on his phone a couple of weeks ago (when this thread first started).

He rang my mobile from QLD and stayed on the phone for 1hr 26 minutes.........he likes a chat and is a terrific guy in his 60's that knows his product inside out.

As it turns out, it wasn't until near the end of our conversation that I realized he was an old customer of mine from Adelaide Engine Service days when he used to go by Italia Spares.

I learnt today that the R34 GTR's have a twin mass flywheel (2 piece with bearings and separate face & hub) like some European sports cars which means no maching and if it's worn you chuck it.

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
