well my faithful clutch finally started slipping... :(

after 2 years of 300rwkw and 5 years of 180rwkw, hundreds of launches and thousands of kicks, the mystery box that came over on the boat will finally get opened...

hopefully i will get it sorted before DECA :down:

It had the GTR nismo number on the clutch plate, bit better than the run of the mill rb25 item they supply in the normal rb25 kits.

  • 2 weeks later...

I havent read this whole thread, to much for me whilst i am at work, but i can announce that Caltex will be making E85 to fuel Holdens new Commonwhore and we aim to have 100 servos selling it in the next 12 months.

!!!!! AWESOME !!!!!!

Possibly a silly question for me to ask, but I have no idea...something tells me the answer is no...

Can you tune a rotary to run E85? I don't know how much advanced timing you could add lol..

Thanks, back on topic! I will definitely join the bandwagon when this goes ahead, should be getting better money by then to afford real mods too :P

any ideas where caltex will be getting their e85 from?

i.e. is it manildra or csr?

i have a full tune for both fuels sitting here anyway... but the difference is enough that you cant go swapping all over the place

my guess is that its gonna be manildra as i'm fairly sure that united have an exclusive deal on the CSR stuff, which suits me to a tee as the manildra seems to be better anyway :P

also might add, the the new clutch went in @ 23:30 Thursday and was on the track @ DECA on Saturday... (got 500k's driving on it to bed it... inc 100km stop start traffic)

went for an exedy "HHHDBC... and am very happy with it...

its very livable on the street, with a nice pedal feel for the power its made for and launching/shifting is a dream

it was my first track day with e85 and it was an absolute blast!

the car was SUPER responsive and you can really feel the difference over PULP :P

:D totally getting on this!

who do you work for ido09s?

    • Waaay ahead of ya....(evil laugh!!) Will show the fitment and spec details later when it isnt as rainy !
    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
