Adam you won't regret the NPC man... I've got one in the car atm, changed the stock one cos it seemed like a logical thing to do (spigot was rooted but the stock clutch was near new). Clutch is lighter than stock and is even easier to drive

hey john, did u get a new flywheel or did you machine the current one? im wondering if its worth it to get a new flywheel, if it isnt needed then i dont wana spend the money, and how much stronger would the say the clutch is compared to standard? can it handle some abuse or is it like standard, i.e do a couple of normal launches and its toasted?

i know the clutch toasting process of my clutch now was speeded up by me riding it alot, coz it was was so easy to ride and i was learning to get used to manual on it, lots of steep slopes didnt help either.

John: That Hamish guy just posted on his for sale thread. Did he reply you? Also, I thought Michael's gonna sell his 32gtr? Thats gunmetal too.

Nope, haven't heard nudda.... Yeh Michael was 'thinking' about it. Not sure of the condition of his car though...looks pretty neat and tid though.

I love fighting about personal preference of products, its what keeps car forums going really! lol

f**k apexi and blitz....K&N Pod filters FTW ......(runs and hides)

Does it come with GABNR plates?

If yes, keen :)

Pahahaha yeh gabnr plates will be a must with that car....dirty gabnr

i would have my foot 1/4 way down on the clutch while going up the slopes so that the car wouldnt shudder and stall LOL, good old leanring manual days, i dont do that anymore but in the beginning it was pretty much inexperience and i was scared that the car would stall or roll back or something, u get what i mean ?

me john? or other john?

I'm not dealing with anyone called hamish... :huh:

Damn us and our highly common name...could be worse I spose. We could be called mohammed...

LOL! Can't believe you learnt how to drive in a 33 gtr....you asshole, lol. Nah Dan took care of it for us. No machining needed and kept the stock flywheel. Getting a lightened one can change the way your car revs, most often for the better though. Standard clutch on a 33 will handle around 210rwkws.... the npc one I have in there has been known to handle 300kws atws and the clutch still holding the power strong... You upgrade your clutch so it can handle more power and more abuse, but I wouldn't suggest you abuse it...

I'll wear the frilly ones just in case :bunny:

Ooohh....you're making my pants come alive :P

A stock clutch will handle MANY MANY MANY 'normal' launches. Riding them is what kills them, and that will kill any clutch.

Beefier up clutches can just handle more power before they start slipping. You still need to be able to drive.

Ahhh, well that explains it. Maybe drive properly once you've spent all that money on a new clutch?

<3 :P

f**k apexi and blitz....K&N Pod filters FTW ......(runs and hides)

Oh this means WAR! Blitz are sh*t for sure, but apexi? cmon, sh*ts all over nasty oiled K&N pods that kill AFMs.

Pahahaha yeh gabnr plates will be a must with that car....dirty gabnr

You know it

....explain? :huh:

Can't drive? Edit: Couldn't drive? Can now?

Yeah sorry man, you're gonna need to learn.

God damn, who TAUGHT you to drive?

Change gear son!

haha yeh it was fun, the day when i picked up the car from GTAuto after RWC and inspection was the most fun, it was lke 530 lots of traffic everythin goin home from work etc, that was the hardest drive ive ever had in my life, i kept on praying and i kept on telling myself dont crash, reminding msyelf of the rules i had learnt, keep safe distance etc etc,

it was hard for me to make the move from driving mostly Auto Land Cruisers in qatar that were left hand drive to a manual GTR that was right hand drive, quite confusing in the begining, and the car i learnt driving on at the driving school in qatar was a shitty corolla that was abused so badly by learners that the clutch was lke in half depressed position when disengaged, and the car would shift to 5 instead on 3 unless you really looked at the knob and pushed it hard enough into 3, fun times.

Oh this means WAR! Blitz are sh*t for sure, but apexi? cmon, sh*ts all over nasty oiled K&N pods that kill AFMs.

Nahuhh. K&N!!!! Lol, in all honesty the apexi ones are good.... I use the K&N ones with the extreme top and inverted shape.... Similar design to the apexi but half the price. Blitz are the ones that f**k your car up :P

Can I add more fuel to this fire and say AFM's are FTL ?

whats wrong with blitz filters? i have a mines induction kit with blitz sus air cleaner filters or something, cant tell exactly coz all the papers and instructions for them are in japanese, i do find though that they make very little induction noise compared to apexi ones , you can really hear the induction with apexi filters, i was gona get them changed but theyr washable so just asked Dan to clean them up for me.

20yr old technology ftmfl :P If I could afford it I'd piss it off all together...

I'd like to read something on a comparison though. I was told by Gavin, Matt and Mark (other than Mark recommending vipec) that running afm would have better fuel economy and easier to tune (comparison between pfc and dejetro).

Thats not going to add much fuel, I agree with you :bunny:

BUT, i'd still run an apexi even without an AFM :huh:

Oh mangz thats no fun then . . . hehe

You not got an ECU yet ?

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
