Haha I meant the opposite Cass! :P I was gonna have some ridiculous polished dish for events like Autosalon etc.

Wouldn't trust replicas for daily driving.

I'd buy stockies for track, or some kind of 15/16" wheel.

I bought my GTR back in August 2005.

Changed new front disks and brake pads.

Rebuilt Rear Diff.

Rebuilt Turbos to steel internals.

New OEM Clutch put in cuz the HKS Twin Plate just about had it.

Aftermarket Front Pipes and a Highflow Cat put in... Also have a Cat Back oval shape muffler going on.

New OEM Slave Cylinder.

Did more rebuilding rather then modifying.

I can dump money in it for the "Go Fast Mods" but I know 1 thing leads to another as this car cost already, as it is.

It is lightly modded and good enough for my weekend drives :)

I say you should enjoy what you got there (your R32 GTR) as you know, the power bug has hit you and you will never be satisfied...

First it is 200+ kWs, then you want 300+ kWs and you will be chasing 400+ kWs... It never ends... Leaving a bigger hole in your wallet.

Lower your standard of your expectation for your car and you will enjoy it better.

Remember, you do have decent mods on it... Utilise it and enjoy it...

That's what I think anyway :D

I'm curious as in why you're binning HKS twin for stock clutch.

I'm guessing you haven't raise the boost level and tune it correct?

no not really enjoying it as we have spent the whole time try to book other places and get out. Once we get past mackay then we will be fine and can resume holiday. Not much we can do hey

'just about had it' grant. Means it was broken.

As to his choice in replacement... *shrug*

I know, why stock, wouldn't sane person go something beefier or stock clutch are as good than people make them to be?

When I had 33R, the clutch didn't last, and I upgraded to OS Giken Triple plate.

Correct Cass! :)

Grant, the car came with a Twin Plate... Who knows how long it has been in there...

Judging by my "whining" rear diff (at the time), the Twin Plate would have seen a lot of 5000+ RPM launches.

It lasted me about 2 years of ownership and started to slip = car won't go anyware = had to rev the hell out of it just to hope it will grab to make the car go.

Pulled the Twin Plate out and there was burnt bits of clutch / ash... Flywheel had wear and tear as well.

Being a 1st time GTR owner at the time, didn't know much about the characteristics of driving with a Twin Plate as there is no play (well not much) it was either IN or OUT of gear and best driven for track use.

At the time it was a daily for me so I need a plate that was good for that...

So I decided to go with a single OEM plate as I know Nissan would have engineered it to put up with a 2.6lt, Inline 6 Twin Turbo.

Meaning it would have to be at least a heavy duty single plate clutch.

:)

Geez, would hate to be on run from mother nature during holidays.

Queensland doesn't have much luck with weather lately...

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
