Not trying to hijack this thread, but if you floor it and the wheels start spinning in 2nd and 3rd, it means the clutch is spinning and it's on it's way out?!! My mate thought it was because he had "so much power" :)
well if your clutch is slipping, you shouldnt get increased wheelspin :P

Not directed at you Johnny, but it might be easier to understand if you referred to it as clutch slip not wheel spin. :)

oh okay damo, miss understanding :) ! well at first i thought shit i just span 2nd, then 3rd, thena minor spin in 4th! im awesome! then i was like, hmm, i actuall didnt spin the wheels and i wasnt going anywhere, then the smell of warm brakes(clutch) gave it away! im pretty much 99.99%its clutch! might have a sus at all brake and clutch i think they are just to confirm it! might look at them to install it but i still need to find a supplier for the chosen prefer exedy 6puk extra heavy duty cushion button clutch! thus meaning the clutch has an "either its on, or off point" so to speak!

i have almost the same mods as you mate, i put an extreme in mine but i myself dont really like it much, its not all that meaty and sometimes slips or bogs down if you try some 'harder' styles of driving with it... but i was kinda expecting that for the price.. i couldnt afford anything better at the time! its not too bad though!

lol i remember when my clutch went, i got awesome fuel economy for a while there, i could barely rev it from 3rd-5th gear without is slipping!! made my car seem like a rocket ship once i got a new clutch!!

mine started slipping @ 215 rwkw,

but now @ 230-40 rwkw, i get no slippage......

exept when i try and launch, slips like a mofo!

its only a standard item too, its held up pretty well imo, specially

with my love of 2nd and 3rd gear and hatred of traction lol

I run an Exedy GTR 4puk solid button. - NSK-7121SC

Picked it up for a fairly decent price. :P

Smooth to drive with and not to heavy on the leg. No issues grabbing fourth hard and having the rear chirp or twitch around a little.

I ran a Extreme 9puk prior. Heavier on the leg, would tend to heat up really easily and then slip with only 200rwkw and it shuddered like a bastard.

The Exedy 4puk Handles 300rwkw without a problem. But whats important is the torque it handles. 200rwkw at 3500rpm and 256rwkw at 4000rpm without problems.

mine was the opposite lol,

200kw and no dramas, but then 250kw and slips anytime it hits full boost in any gear :P

it work fine off boost, but no fun

lol, i know where your comin from mate...

sometimes when i clutch 2nd it slips bad, but other times its fine :P

oh well, hust have to see if steve organises another group buy, if not, ill start looking round myself.

If ya do Steve, could you get me a price on a twin plate, as i will need to upgrade in the future :D

I got a Nismo Twin Plate Coppermix in mine from Luke ENR34.......softer pedal than the original clutch, but heaps of bite :D

Speak to him about prices though.........constant change due to the Aussie $

JUST rang extreme up,

they are offering a

Extreme 6-puk extra heavy-duty button

Lightweight billet flywheel

$ 1050 + labour

Total

$ 1300

Called: David

8300 5000

Warranty: 12months, 20000kms

what are your thoughts, i hear good and bad stories about extreme, and to go to exedy!???????

probably wont need an extra heavy duty until 250kw at the wheels id think johnny, and id go 4puk, bit easier to drive and will save you a bit of cash for other mods, or for a flywheel.

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
