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.

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
