Aberax i see your having troubles deciding what clutch to choose..... I highly recommend the same one that i got which was through the group buy that madaz did. I had an R33 GTST with 250 RWKW and i hammered the thing with no problems at all. Before this i went through 2 other clutches. The NPC setup was VERY easy to drive and was capable of a fair amount of abuse :) . Good luck in what ever clutch you choose to go with :)
hi abe im oz pommys dad

we just had his standed flywheel machined the npc clutch worked a treat and had been in the car over 12 months before he sold the car .

it copped a fair hammering in the time he drove ....i mean thrashed it lol . b4 then i had fitted 2 clutches in about 18 months too the car

pedal had good feel and the cluch was good in traffic

cheers dean

Thank you Dean, Allan, and Everyone else that helped. :)

Looks like i shall get the NPC Organic Coppermix, or i may email him asking about the 5puk Ceramic. Its going to be more expensive then the Xtreme, but i suppose you get what you pay for - Poor Man Pays Twice.

Thanks Again

I need to borrow a trailer ... 6x4 or 7x5 sized.

Can anyone help me out? Need it for this weekend, can return it Tuesday. Needs to be registered of course. I'm traveling interstate to pick up a go kart for the little lad.

Can anyone PM me with any loan trailer they can grant me.

:)

i like to think of myself as a pretty patient guy....

BUT FOR PHUCKSAKES I WANT MY SKYLINE BACK AND FINISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, i know what you mean. Mine has been off the road for 2-3 weeks with a fried clutch, and its going to be about another 2-3 weeks before its good again :)
Ive been waiting since November for my engine. Been driving an R32 with a busted engine since October. I win :cool:
i have had my 31 since october, and only done one skid. depressing.

workshop has had it for >5 weeks. depressing.

i know there was a fair bit of work, but geez, srs?

LOL i don't know what your complaining about, my cars been off the road since march last year and i have only now just started to build the engine.
im in the same boat as you boys but i havnt driven my line in like 6 months :huh:

Oh boo hoo all of you.

I've had my car on the road for less than 12 months since the start of 2006!

Hey guys,

After finally having run in the engine, i'm looking at getting it tuned

I've got a power fc at home, but been reading a bit about D-jetro recently..

just weighing up my options:

1) Buy Nismo AFM ($800-$900)

Or

2) Sell Power FC, Sell Standard AFM then Buy D-jetro

anyone here run a d-jetro? cons/pros?

David Blue32 run d-jetro and swears by it for being able to run the car and problem solve air leaks and turbo problems

Abe a NPC ceramic should be cheaper than a xtreme

from memory that price you quoted used to be for his 5puk ceramic maybe he has put his prices up i dont know

If your worried about the $$, why Nismo afm?

Honestly, if I had my choice all over again, I'd go a Vipec

So should i get the Organic Coppermix, or get a 5puk ceramic? I think you posted earlier in this thread i should go ceramic, but just want to reaffirm.

never heard of it? :cool:

any more details?

Are you maxxing out your current stock AFM's? You'll need nismos only when passing the 300kw mark, and even then you can get your stock AFM's recalibrated to nismo spec for around $275 each...

cost $550 for the pair, however for that to be required you'd also need at minimum n1 turbos and bigger injectors...

at the moment its standard injectors, with garrett 2860-5's

installing 700cc's when it gets tuned, so i'm sure (it better!!) it will exceed 300kw..

Abe - my driving style suits a ceramic so personally i would buy ceramic for durability factor, look @ how hard drifters punish there clutches, mine doesn't see any of that so should last a while

btw i have xtreme atm but would happily get a NPC twin if i had the money or just a NPC single if i didnt, i did buy a NPC because mine slipped but then it didn't give me any more grief so i sold it to AM performance and he too loves it like OZ pommy

You still need your Power FC to run D-jetro (I think)

I have D-jetro on my skyline and its runs awesome track and street 324kw no problems.

you need a different type of PFC if you're gonna run the Djetro's - the MAP sensors plug directly into them...

regarding the tune, if you get 700cc injectors and get your afm's recalibrated, you'll be seeing 300-350kw with ease (based upon the -5's which are very good turbos)

you may find your afm's leaning the mixture out above 300kw - your tuner will be able to take care of this and inform you when/if you need afm's - I'd say conservatively that you would need them a tad before hitting 300kw.

ugh. being trained to deal roulette as of today. f**k... such an exhausting game too learn, so much shit you gotta commit to memory. im gonna be knackered by the end of the 2 weeks. lol.

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
