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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
