Thanks

Probably not the best advice, but when I imported my 260RS it came with a horrible HKS triple plate clutch, that I absolutely hated. Mates called me a wuss and said I can't handle a real mans clutch. Until they ALL stalled it over and over. If stalling is your idea of a good time, then yeah, great clutch.

I got rid of the HKS and got a single plate Nismo Coppermix clutch. This clutch is the boomshanka of clutches. I can come to almost a complete standstill in 2nd and it don't stall. City traffic? Not a problem. Its light, its easy and behaves like a standard clutch. I'm pushing 300 killer wasps in my car, and the Nismo Coppermix doesn't miss a beat. A wee bit pricey (I picked up mine online for cheap) but either way, worth every dollar. Do some research on them, I'm sure others can vouch for their goodness. A really great all rounder.

I'm thinking of going for a Nismo Coppermix single as well - my clutch doesn't slip, but I'm sick of the constant shakes and on/off nature of a button clutch being used in a daily-driven car. Hopefully it'll be lighter to use, too.

you should speak to jim berry, i've heard that he is really enthusiastic but realistic

you tell him what you do with your car and what you are planning to do with it and he will come up with the best compromise

i've heard he also does a custom clutch using rb26 bits and pieces and you get a higher clamp load with stock ish plate that will hold good power and feels like stock

let me know how much yours ends up being, i think im in the same boat as you :P

I'm running a Nismo lightened flywheel, Nismo 1200kg pressure plate, and Nismo Coppermix clutch plate. Cost me $300 used and then another $200 or so for ACS to machine the flywheel and pressure plate and check it all over. Its great to use, even as a daily. I've never stalled the Stagea with it. And its holding 204awkw without any problems.

:rolleyes:

Gday hows things?

How are you going with the clutch, have you got any prices yet and if so how much roughley as mine is on the way out so i need to start saving :(

Also I am pretty sure we have found a way of locking up the hicas without removing the rack, very easy job. I will post up pics and explain more when done should be with in the month

cheers

to lock your hicas just put a washer on either end of the rack . need about 2 mm either side

BNT in chch nz quoted me 380+ for standard clutch and 660+ for heavy duty coushined button for my rs four s

for Xtreme brand

Yeah im good mate how are you, havent sourced anything clutch wise yet will let you know when i do! could last a couple of months yet. I dont wnat to replace it until it shits itself.

I thought u had a auto stagea?

Dont have to worry about the hicas, My reasearch in finding a lock bar came to a pretty abrupt end. Found a cusco one but they said its only for race purposes. Im going to rebuild my hicas as i know this dude at nissan dandenong and he can get all the parts to do so and its not that dear.

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
