I'm also running a Jim Berry clutch, and I have no qualms about doing it. The man knows what he is doing, and builds damn fine clutches. They sh*t all over the likes of some 'reputable' brands such as exedy. Good jap brands such as OS Giken, etc, sure, also great clutches, but my Jim Berry was far cheaper, more suitable for what I use it for, and drives like a stock clutch.

And speeking of rotaries, it looks like a super fast one might have decided to play for the Road 8 sprint championship :D . But even if he wins the last 2 rounds I should have him, as long as i get a half decent result in both.

Actually FD was 1 of the option when I was buying this car but seriously, the reputation/rumours rotary has made me steer away from them. The sleekness of the car is just so sexy.

Get my msg CoLin?

Yeah I'll let you know. Probably not keen so early. I hate getting up that early on days I don't have to :D

If this is that proposed morning touge, I didn't get one :P, but still possibly keen... ;)

do i dare ask the retail on one of those??

No need for retail when you have people selling on the forum! Anyway just go on Nengun and check. Probably close to 3k delivered.

Steer away with rumours?? ey....

They have to be the best designed sports car ever made in the last 30 years. The engine is great....the handling is 2nd to none. Every engine has a downfall if people don't look after them.

yeh i told them i want it cashed- they said 3 working days

ill go check on its progress at lunchhhh

sounds like you're enjoying the 180 too much :D

3k! jesus!

is that 2nd hand one including flywheel? cuz it doesnt look like it..

If Exedy was such a shit clutch why do they have world wide branches world wide and manufactures choose their clutches to be used in factory produced vehicles..

Daikin has been in the market for years and still goin strong..

exedy only gets a bad name from people floggin off fake shit that looks like exedy but not.. even NPC use exedy internals but they use their own clutch case..aswell as people choosing the wrong clutch for their application..

generally most people dont understand that its reccomended to do around 500km's of soft driving before u start to punch it.. its generally the same for the carbon clutches but they need to be at specific operating tempretures before it starts to work since its a specifc racing clutch.

Exedy/Daikin OEM clutches are terrific and do a fantastic job at what they are designed for. Their performance range however is a little sub par IMO. You are of course entitled to yours.

And just because a lot of people use something, that does not mean it is good, it just means people are sheep/stupid. I have found in my experience a great many people are both

Yea now that I know more, the engine rebuild after 100,000km probably is a rumour but still not very sure on fuel consumption (which is very much dependent on the driver). With occasional boosting mine goes for 450km per tank.

But yes, the looks of them is just amazing but still I would take a black 34 vspec over them.

I'd love one as a dedicated track car or weekender. Not a daily though

Just check Nengun for ya. Almost 2.5k delivered and it does include flywheel (which is why I thought its a good choice, save mucking around). Dont know about the 2nd hand 1 though. He mentioned its brand new and never fitted (car was stolen) so I would assume it comes with everything as a package.

It looks like the end of the universe outside. That's awesome.

TAS - do you drink coffee? I'm bored, and want an excuse to go driving in the dust, thought I might go to Stafford City to get coffee, if you want one too tell me and I'll get you one.

Yeah I can't say i heard about that one. Most sports car aren't good on fuel, 450 out of a tank is not that good really.

They are too pretty for the track

NOTHING is too pretty for the track :D

im sorry - is that coming from mr "no tristan i wont take my 31 drifting with you - shes too precious and clean"

WOW

track and drift two totally different things though...

Plus if i had the money to replace/repair her, I'd happily drift my 31

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
