I remember saying that once....right before i spent 30k on my other 32 lol

haha one day bro one day, when i have enough cash saved up,my plans are to buy a R34 GTR V-Spec II NUR and then modify the R33 upto about 350awkw,

if i earnt this money i wouldnt be as sad as i am now, the sad reality is that i am 18, unemployed and still have another 2 years of uni to go,

Martin, no pain at all! It might not even be electrical current but you do have to shand on metal plates with no shoes on! we got ours from the good guys for like $100

Haha, yeah I was joking. But i've just read up on it, it is indeed an electrical current that goes up one leg and down the other. Thats right past the fun zone! :)

There some for ~$30 on ebay, they should do the trick doesn't need to be HK.

PS NPC twin > Nismo ha ha

Jim Berry Clutch FTW!

nah man there is sum special equipment u need to open the forks up on the gearbox, only a cuple of guys have it in qld, and the guy Dan at ERD uses, just got back today from holidays, so gearbox work will start today, the rest is all nearly done,

probably wil be monday or tuesday next week if everythin goes according to schedule and theres no hicups etc.

brake pads are being put in today, machining rotors etc will be finished today as well i think,

power fc is in, engine check light was on so Dans troubleshooting that,

front pipes and high flow cat need to be put in, then the full service needs to be done all fluids etc,

cam gears and timing belt and water pump and a new battery wil also be put in,

thats all i can think off,

after that its going to be off to EFI for dyno tuning and then on the highway home to St. Lucia

out of all of that all that was needed was one synchro replacement, and full service and brake pads and the clutch which i found out about today.

ha ha good old Jim Berry

We threw out a lot of old pressure plates cleaning up Dans the other day....should have taken them to Jim he could have pivot modified them and charged 1200 for em! :)

hey bro, i would love to get the nismo twin plate, heard awesome things about them, but the sad truth is i have now spent nearly 7 grand on the car and thats not including the clutch, it hurts me because all i needed to spend was about 3 or max 4 grand, the rest was all things i wanted not things i needed, Dan recommended the heavy duty clutch from NPC, the one that replaces the stock clutch, he said it would be strong enough for upto 280awkw,i dont know if it will be able to handle launches etc

and im calling it quits for now, once this stuff is done, all im gona do is service it, ive spent way too much money on things that werent needed and that money could have been spent elsewhere,

-FML-

NPC7056HD -- 240kw

NPC7056HDB - 300kw

Bigmouth Street - 300kw

Bigmouth Track - 400kw

NPC Track TWIN - + 1000kw

NPC Street TWIN - + 750kw sprung or cushion (cushion is solid centre plates)

NSK7056HD - 240kw

where HD = heavy duty

HDB = heavy duty button

and I don't think you should do limiter launches on the one you're talking about either.

Edited by jaxt

NPC twin for 2k+? Thats in the range of the Nismo twin coppermix (unless you got hit for tax when you import it or get it locally, which is around 3.5k). But if Mark uses that on his 7sec car, it cant be bad at all. DO IT!

yeh, as long as its a bit stronger than stock im happy, ive only done a launch once at 5K rpm and thats it, i never need to launch as i dont drag etc just a street car so should be good enough i hope.

*nods*

Those good for 300kw would be sufficient for normal driving but probably not limit launches. I'll get a comfortable twin if I'm ever changing the clutch for sure (either Nismo or that NPC if its really gentle on my foot).

i think my car will make around 230 to 250awkw after everythin is done, so clutch is good enough for the job

f**king woot, i changed some settings and my quote button is back!

Should be more than enough for your car given it is on street duties

nismo twins are rated at like 500hp, the ine on my car is 1000hp, and you only have to loook at the construction to see why

http://www.nengun.com/nismo/super-coppermi...in-plate-clutch

600ps... which i think its close to 600hp too. But my justification for that is comfortability. Everytime I read about someone's review on them, they're bound to mention how comfortable it feels comparing to other twins. Although NPC seems to be better value for money, but if I dont ever need that kinda rating, I'll go with whichever that feels more comfortable.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
