I live in gladstone and i havent seen many good cars round here there is a really nice one with a nismo body kit but most things round here are stock but my mates bro has one of the fastest he hasnt been beaten on the street yet not sure what model skyline it is i think its a R32 possibly GTR

hey i resent that. Nah not really apparently they aren't all they are cracked up to be. Either way i'm not going to be able to drivethe car for like 5 more months so me wrecking the clutch again isn't gonna happen.

BUt yeah if your gonna get a twin plate your better off getting something like an osgiken or agura twin plate setup.

Just don'tr ask Richo's for an opinion becuase they will swear bloody murder that there is no such thing as a triple plate clutch......

Hey Willo don't pass the Australian product off too quickly... there are some really good companies producing really good products without the ridiculous OSGiken Pricetag... if you are chasing brands go for it... but just remember some of our local product outways the competition in more ways than one... including price and customer service...

would shaun have gotten a replacement clutch from OS... maybe but the Aussie guys are battling for product placement... and my Clutch has been perfect from day one... one fault doesn't mean that your supplier should get shot down in flames... he did replace it for free??

What about going for a well known performance twin plate brand like Centerforce... or something like that... probably cheaper prices... and better service... And many many many BIG horsepower manuals have been running Centerforce Clutchs for years... they most be doing something right!!

Hey it was heavy last night on the Lap scene... far out there were some cops around... and I won't ever joke about FRO getting pulled up again... Two GTR's, a 33 GTS-T, a A31 Cefiro, Silvia... and Fro got pulled up... granted his is puffing smoke like a chimny... but I was just joking when he said he'd take the fall not us.... seriously... I didn't know!!...

Anyways... it was still a pretty good night... we had a cruise up Mount Archer... Actually... and you can repeat this if you all want... for being such a wild driver... pete is a GIRL in the passengers seat... he doesn't like it much... just ask Jay...

Actually do you know that there is a Mob down in Brissy... can't remember who but I saw it on the Net... and they are doing an Upgrade kit for the Turbo Falcon... it is a new Intercooler and piping and tweaked computer and a boost up... read and weap... 397 RWHP.... now that is neat out of a almost stock car... mind you I bet the GT40 Turbo helps it along.... when is someone going to be rich enough to buy one of them... it won't be long until Ford is destroying Holden on the streets.... and 397 at the wheels... doesn't matter that the Falcon weighs 1600 Kg... it'll still be super quick on the street... One to watch out for...

Hey Jay I was just searching through my User Cp and found PM's... it's interesting stuff that comes through there... I never new that voicing ones opinion was such a crime... and I can't believe that "other people" haven't worked out that there hasn't been one "fight" in the Spank camp since... anyway... If you need me to explain I'll chat to you later... don't want to get anymore angry PM's...

Alright Willo I will try to get onto it... I know the Jap product is quality... I am not arguing that fact (just covering my tail so no one thinks I am riding my high horse :rofl: ) anyway I will see what I can do for you... you definatly want a twin plate and something resonably bity but still livable??

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
