I'm getting a new one on Tuesday, xtreme 9-puck has failed for mine, while my mates abused 440hp holds up just fine with 10x more punishment! After it's pulled out to see just what sucked I'm deciding from there, but not sure what way I will go just yet. Twin-plate might just be a touch too far at the moment for me :thumbsup: Sponsor, anyone??

Gav, convert to an auto transmission and this is not a decision you will need to make :)

btw, grats on your 2nd at MC, but you were a bit closer to me than i like so i am happy to help with your auto conversion :thumbsup::blush::D

thats a 2nd with sliping clutch be afraid bard be afraid

shame really other than the bad idle/ rough running things felt good aparently no 5's coil pack wasnt attached properly but meh my best for the season

clutch didnt really show major issues till i tried to pass a truck on the way home revs went up speed didnt things got bad from there on

teach me to buy new sunnnies and think about new investments

*edit* if you want to help with full tein suspension instead of the auto im listening

Pauls will be avail as a second hand set as of Monday. I think he wants $1400 as they have done like 2000km.

You can have them at the end of the MC Season :thumbsup:

But seriously, its good value and if you supply the beer, ill come down and help fit them :blush:

so same as whats in your ride aye? if theres still fold available after clutch and cooling system weve got somehing to talk about at next autotest

and my beer is better than anything you can buy i promise you

Try the ORC carbon clutch. As you know drifters abuse their clutch like madness, like kicking and stuff... and it still holds up to the torture. A jap mechanic who does work for japan's drift cars told me that it feels almost like driving an organic, but it takes up to about 700hp. :thumbsup: Well price wise... ahem....

Yep, zactly the same as what i have. It will give us an more even playing field :(

I run a 4puck cushioned brass button clutch (exedy I think), lots of 1st & 2nd clutch drops and rolling kicks, I don't abuse 3rd so can't comment much there :( seems to handle all the abuse I deal it (ask Tristan, he's seen it painting lines :wub: )

yea slide has a decent range of exedy clutches so i was looking that way

spose itd really help if i gave a little info on cherryred and her uses for those who dont know me

while she sees verry little road use these days i dont want an overly heavy clutch

most of the track done at the moment is motorkana style but i plan on moving into short track stuff in the near future

power figures arnt expected to ever go over the mid to high 200s so no massive hp abuse

thanks for all the replies so far

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
