OK guys I have something a little different that I need clarification on.

I own a 1994 R32 V-Spec II and in the engine bay I have a NISMO plate next to the Blue nissan plate. It has a number on it and all that but I don't know what the hell it's there for. I was told it is because it has a Nismo clutch in it, but I can't see why the'd stick a plate in the engine bay just for a clutch.

Any ideas??

I will post pics up when I get the car back tonight (getting fitted with Red Stuff F & R).

Thanks in advance

Sorry pics will be posted tonight, I have been a bit too busy to take the photos yet.

I am unsure if it's for a Nismo clutch or not, I don't know if the car even has a Nismo one. I am just going by what the dude told me.

Would they actually put a plate in the engine bay for a clutch?

I have seen when a car has Nismo parts they put a build plate stating that part is number: xxxxx, whatever.

For example, here is a Nismo Strut Brace with a Build Plate / Part Number.

Is it anything like this what you got?

looks to be a clutch

I typed 30000 - rs595 bnr32 and found some sites with nismo catalogues.

At first i thought u had Nismo Turbo's cos they had the model # 141111- rs595!!!! But the prefix 30000 appears to be for the drivetrain

nismo parts

G-MAX Twin : PlateClutch Sets 3002B-RS595 130,520 1 93/2 - SpecⅠ Sports Driving 向け Cover Pressure =950Kgf

9 3002B-RS596 134,560 1 SpecⅡ 最高speed Driving 向け Cover Pressure =1150Kgf

10 G-MAXTriple PlateClutch Sets 3003B-RS597 166,320 1 SpecⅢ チューンドカーのドラッグRacing 向け / Cover Pressure =1200Kgf

^^NICE FIND DLOOOK

But nothing kinda matches Dirt Diggler's Part Number on the chart...

Its either

3000S-RSR25-B

3000S-RSR25-N

3000S-RSR35-B

3000S-RSR35-N

3000S-RSR35-E

But no 30000-RS595...

OR he either has the Sports Clutch Kits [included : Disc - Cover - Light Flywheel - Release Bearing ], which is the 30000 part and RS595 must = to G-MAX Twin : PlateClutch Sets...

So is it like a Mix and Match selection to choose from because it will all fit but depending on what set up you want or in this case the previous owner wanted?

Thanks for searching guys.

Iron Chef - Have you seen this car before?? I am the first Aussie owner of it and I don't remember ever showing it to you. Maybe you saw it at the auctions.

If it does have a twin plate clutch set-up it must be a bit worn. I did a 6000RPM Dump last night and it slipped like mad and I cooked it hard!! (whoops) It stank the whole way home which took about an hour of freeway driving. It seems ok today though. It is also extremely street driveable for a twin plate so it must be sprung centered or something as I have no probs driving it daily to and from work. I get no shudder or anything that I get in my Mazda Familia GTAe which has a sprung center Exedy HD Organic in it!

Interesting.....

Thanks guys I guess I will only find out once the thing needs to be replaced! Then it's gonna cost me another shit load of dosh! The brakes set me back $700 for a full set of Red Stuffs fitted and discs machined! They are awesome though but fark they dust up heaps! Oh well, price you pay for good brakes!

Sorry for the slow reply, I haven't seen the car in the metal, but I remember translating that plate before. Your broker and I share the same supplier.

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
