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 can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
