u wuold change the cam gears to make 320awkw keets??

damn ur clueless... i was sittin on 296awkw on the dyno @ 15psi and runnin around 18psi when i got off.. thats over 300awkw

stock cams and stock cam gears and stock dump n front pipes....

stock injectors and fuel pump and regulator.. although things were gettin a lil lean by then. im also running what appears to be stock afms.

i wouldnt go for a 5puk clutch thou.. theyre nasty to drive and they wont like 4wd applications. save extra coin and go for a twin plate :(

the stock cams n gears r good for well over 320kw.... if u dont think so, look around the dyno thread and see how many ppl r makin close to 400awkw with stock items :)

Well arnt you great. BTW...320Kw @15psi. You don't need to run all the gear to make the numbers but it makes them easier at lower boost and the power comes on a bit earlier and is smoother in response. GTR-PWR asked for advice on "320Kw and responsive" and he got mine..your entitled to give yours.

Yeah apparantley they are not that bad anyway on the GTR's, or so i have been told. But its definantley worth it anyway.

Curious as to whether an Excedy Heavy Duty clutch would be able to handle 320awk's?

My mate says that it should last at least 3 years. Would be good to get some opinions on this matter. Cheers Guys.

LOL - Excedy HD WON"T last that long. I've got one in my GTR, only done about 2,000km and it slips if I launch hard. car was last dyno'd at 300rwkw when running lower boost, so i don't think they will handle it.

anything but a twin plate will slip on a 4wd launch.. its too much stress for a clutch...

as for Keets... 15psi all depends on turbos. i could run a massive turbo and make 400kw on 10psi.. that doesnt mean my gears r efficent.. just means the turbo flows a shitload of air @ the boost

my turbos were only hi flows.. not garrett 2860's of any kind.

stock cams r perfect as are the stock gears.. u can play with the delivery of the power with the gears but ur only gonna move the powerband up or down.. so if u fatten ur mid section, u lose top end. simple

"my turbos were only hi flows.. not garrett 2860's of any kind."

So why are you quoting the dyno numbers...Please read the original post "

2530's Vs Garrets, 320Kw and response" I answered the question.

"...u can play with the delivery of the power with the gears but ur only gonna move the powerband up or down.. so if u fatten ur mid section, u lose top end. simple"

Yes and your point is...no wait, I'm no longer interested in your point

No theyre not that undriveable.. i dunno what most ppl r on about..

ive driven quite a few cars n raced some with twin plates.. they arent that bad.. theyre like a button clutch

nothing u cant get use to.. actualyl theyre not as bad as a button because u can ride a twin plate :laugh:

im quoting dyno numbers Keets because u obviously dont know anything about the REAL abilities of the stock items.. u claim u need cams and cam gears to get that power when u simply do NOT need them

the stock units are PERFECT for that power.

I have been advise to leave the stocks all upto near 400kw's.. sure u can change the cams and gears, but do u need to?? NO.. so why waste money??

bit of misguided information here..especially above...

I raced for 3 seasons on a SINGLE PLATE clutch, dumping it at 8500-9000rpm with over 400AWKW on sticky drag strips 60'ing in the 1.5's and as low as 1'4's...never slipped once...plenty of spirited street abuse as well as countless dyno comps...probably the best performance part ive evr bought for any car ive ever built or owned.

Ive set cam gears to make gains throughout entire rev range...some parts very small gains but yes gains everywhere. None of this "rob peter to pay paul" (pardon the pun) stuff your on about.

your right about the cams though...stockers dialed in right with small low-mounts do the trick. No cams but id fit gears to them.

my 2 cents :laugh:

can i ask what single plate clutch u had? dont tell me its a Jim Berry? :) that name comes up everywhere- sorry for being off topic

ok if i cant tell you it was a Jim Berry "full monty" then i cant tell you what clutch it was... :)

lol @ full monty.. the highest rated single plate ive ever seen was a 500hp unit...

from exedy.. hks one is rated lower and so is almost everyone elses..

give us details of this clutch champ.. otherwise.. ur talkin shit :laugh:

Very interesting clutch.. although a few ppl have destroyed the clutch while rev dumpin??

still thou, sounds like an awesome clutch.. i did say most singles

theres bound to be some insane singles out there.. but i didnt think so cheap :laugh:

Im confused whats the name of this Single Plated Clutch which is capable of holding 500hp?

I will do a search in the drivetrain section, just need to name and model number.. cheers.

If its cheap and can hold that kind over power then i will look into grabbing one myself.. Cheers Guys.

Just do a search for Jim Berry, he makes awesome clutches. I used 1 for about 8mths before my flywheel smashed but it was the best clutch ive ever used in my life. Not a hint of slip, not too heavy and can be daily driven without driving around looking like a kangaroo.

My next clutch however will be a twin plate (probably a Nismo super coppermix).

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
