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.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • 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.
