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

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
