Hi all

Brand new to the forum. just bought a R33 S2 and after 2 days the clutch has started to slip really badly. Picked up an xtreme HD organic a few days ago and am planning on installing it with a mate on Monday. The guy who i purchased the clutch off "auto clutch" said he highly reccomends that i get the fly wheel machined so it seats properly. i am by no means trying to lighten the flywheel, as ive read the threads on how lighting the stock flywheel can cause weakness. basically my question is how essential is it to skim the flywheel before installing a new clutch???

thanks in advanced.

Julien

Its always recommended to machine it smooth again, but if the surface is in good condition i wouldnt bother (doesnt mean you shouldnt) because getting the flywheel off is a bitch, and then you've got to drop the flywheel off blah blah..... It would be a lot harder to make a warrantee claim if you dont have a reciept for the skimming tho....

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
