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.

speak to Mark from fuel automotive on 0432185450.

Tell him Shaun sent you and the price you have been quoted and i guarantee he will beat it if he has time to do it.

Thanks Shaun.

have you spoke to morpowa up north. they are installing my clutch

No I haven't yet.

Do you mind me asking how much they're charging.....just PM me if you don't want to make it public, thanks.

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.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
