you can;t really knock off a company just because of one bad experience, and if the company is not up to standard it doesn;t mean that you can;t get better elsewhere locally. Like dan said i would like to see you get service like what shauno got from Ozgiken. Sometimes you have wonder is the japanese stuff worth it as they usually cost more than locally manifactured stuff. sometimes it may be worth it sometimes not.

Jay have you seen the stuff on Unique Autosports at the moment... there are a set of Yokohama Wets for $290 in 17"... they look sweet... few race seats and stuff... oh... and one for me a Veilside 2pc front bar for a S13 silvia.... I'm getting my credit card out already... :rofl: just kidding...

Yeah but we're both pimping in the 18" crew :)

Hey talking of the end of August is anyone racing at Benaraby in the mid august... what is the exact dates again??

I would be keen but I haven't done a single thing to the Silvia so I might just save my money until my cooler kit gets here... Actually Jay I was thinking that after the cooler kit I should get one of those nice polished exhaust manifolds you were talking about... Polished piping... I could be pimping too....

Actually you should check out www.sarukaauto.com.au/current.htm

I have a friend that loves starlets... she wanted a turbo rig so can anyone find any cheap ones for sale... neat stockers probably would be the best.... and preferably red... she loves red... So tell me what sort of prices she should look for??

talking of that... who has High Octane 4... and why haven't we got it??

cause theres a shortage of it .... tried to buy a copy the other day and no one in rocky has any in stock. autospeed are about the only place on the net that still has stock.

Willo have a look at www.aablatch.com.au/daikin.shtml

they might have something you can use... that clutch on the top of their page looks like it could take just a little bit of abuse...

Maybe see if you can find which one you like best and then call in squizz to do some cut-throat bargining...

Hey shaun do Nicks do a twin plate or anything of the kind...

whats wrong with exedy clutches - their japanese though ..... www.exedy.co.jp

centreforce - american though - www.centerforce.com

then you've got osgiken .... i can;t find any websites for ozzy made clutches. either they don't advertise with search engines or they don't have websites ....

Hey matt are any of your team headed down the drags to the test and tune... has anyone talked Rick into it yet?? Dev seems pretty keen so that should be good to see... I don't know about wiether to race or not... maybe if Jay races... or pete... that sounds like alot of work getting pete's car going again though... although mad mountain runs are go... Jay is going to show us why four doors are more balanced than two... hell I seen the sideways action last night... don't tell me you weren't flying cause I was going and I saw your headlights the whole way up... actually I think I touched over 140 at one point... not that we encourage that sort of behaviour....

actually I am bulk impressed with the Scibyline... It goes hard... He called me from the lap and within a couple of minutes he was at the top of the Mount... and he lead the way down... if it wasn't for that damn S12... but he did keep us all on the safe side... I actually like going up rather than down... it feels more controlled...

anyway... that is me for the day... time for some Bersy Lunch...

have fun guys...

and stay safe...

That clutch at the top of the page looks exactly the same as the Nismo one I bought. It uses a strap system which has been superseded and you can't get clutch plates for it any more. The closest plates don't fit properly and are $400 a piece.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
