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.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
