Correct me if I'm wrong (which I probably am) but don't Daikin make some awesome clutches?  Although I think they're european.  

Daikin Clutch is a subsidiary of EXEDY Corporation, meaning there Japanese ...... they mainly do clutches for japanese cars, I'm telling you this because I was told I need to learn facts, but i guess your just saying your opinion, and I'm not allowed to have one of those ... so ofcourse your right an I'm wrong ....

Can i ask a q? if you had a choice between a silvia and a pulsar SSS what would you choose and why? I just tryin to decide what one i would buy for my first car as they are both 4cyl and they should be cheap to run. Im postin here cause im from gladdy

depends on your age, how much money you have, how much you want to spend on insurance, but with insurance you can always do the dodgey way and insure it under your parents name. Personally I'd go the silvia its rwd and they come in turbo. their both worth around the same now too as SR20DET silvia's are now like 8 or 9 grand for a very basic stock manual one. Just depends what you want from a car, do you want FWD or RWD?

Id prefer a RWD so i can get used to RWD before a skyline. Since its me first car i only have between 7-8 grand and i wont have much to spend each week cause id prob only have a part time job im just concerned about gettin a turbo because of maintanience etc. If anyone has owned either of the cars just let us know if u like it and the sorts of costs thanks. oh and i only really want basic stuff from the car im not after huge power just somfin to beat my mates :D Hes prob gettin a crappy hyundai tiburon lol

Ah yes the Hyundai tiburon a formidable race machine even in standard form.

You might be able to get onto a cheap NA silvia for around that 7-8 grand pricerange,

But for that kind of money i think you would be pushing it to get a turbo.

SSS or Silvia you should be able to beat your mates car.

Both a nice cars.

Good luck with whatever you get.

Just letting you know that Dev wants to plan a big cruise to the Beach on next Sunday... this is open to all... we will meet at One O'clock Sunday Afternoon at the Post Office at Shopping Fair... That is the Shopping Fair Carpark closest to musgrave street...

It will be open to all vehicles however imports are preferable as otherwise you might not keep up... he he...

So would anyone be interested... maybe even some Gladstone people might be keen for a rocky- yeppoon cruise to meet some new friends??

Last weekend we had a good cruise... although only just a few close mates and not well advertised we had a good collection of cars... Including a 33 GTR, A31 Cefiro, VR Clubsport, a brand new (read: days old) Commodore R8 and of course the dirty "Q with Boost"...

we were then joined by a few others down in Yeppoon including Rick with his GTR, jeremy and jamien with there FJ20 Bluebird... Jeffro's GTS-4 and a mixture of Kaos R32's... It was really fun and again it is welcome to all... preferably instead of meeting up at the beach we should all cruise down together...

    • 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.
