Remember a while ago i mentioned the 2 fittings for the catch can;

And now they are actually being used (ignore the oil patches they did leak a little oil when i pulled the fittings off so i could connect the new lines)

as I'm not the greatest with photography, hopefully someone has taken some decent pictures at the all jap day and posted it on other forums and shit, or even recorded me giving it a decent squirt over the bridge, now to troll the other forums for pics :P

(plus im too cheap to buy a decent camera for now)

Nothing new yet,

Got some holidays that are coming up in early Jan, might visit a track or something try and get some vids

But I got some more pics from the All Jap Day...

yeah I know aye, wish I had that camera skill, I'm like "yup its all in frame" *click* "done"

on other news, slight update.... Excedy HD Ceramic clutch is dying, again. First one lasted 3 weeks - it was an "extreme" HD Cussion button clutch.... enough said, this lasted a month and a half till it started having issues

*symptoms, I have to go into 2nd before putting it into first while stationary, 1st 2nd and 3rd hard to get into gear. on down gearing 3rd and 2nd crunch as they go in, on a small rev then launch it will slip for a couple seconds, if not then it will take off and half way through the gear it will start to slip then pick up again.

*Other issues caused by me, I rode the clutch a little on take offs in the first couple weeks till I got used to the torque, clutch point and what revs I could and shouldn't launch at for different driving styles (yes I can grandma it now), I also have a habbit of riding the clutch for about half a second in wet wether to keep traction

local mechanic near work, gravity bled the clutch, then took it for a drive, he said he is surprised that its died so quickly as he's used them in in more powerful turbo'd cars, though I did mention the lack of turbo gives me instant response and torque, he also said that me riding the clutch for the first couple weeks would have done some damage but not the amount it has this quickly

anyways looking into a new ceramic spring button kit, and might get the pressure plate modified

while I'm at it I may as well do the r33 rb25det gear box up grade

fingers crossed this clutch can last a couple more months

oh and I'm going to make up some engine braces as I couldnt find any that were long enough to go from the bolts around #1 cylinder to the strut towers,

Greg, you MUST get those headers ceramic coated, the blue makes it look gross!!!!

oh and your number plate is crooked

yes I am being pedantic because there is nothing else on the car to pick on :nyaanyaa:

except that it has 2 too many doors :whistling:

sucks to hear about the clutch issues, thought about a different brand? I <3 my jap clutches, better than anything else I have used in any car over the years.

and another vote for full noise track videos!!

Speak to Keith, he's the man. takes a new exedy 5puc, rebuilds it with cabonic pads and heavier presure plate (mine is 3800lb).

mine, delivered to canberra was $366, and i havent had an issue behind my 315kw/650nm rb30 track car...

i wouldn’t do the 25 box in yours either, theres no need unless you have no mechanical sympathy at all.

those headers arent perminate, maybe titanium or chrome dipped on the tuned length extractors when i get them made up, plus they have faded

the holes on the bumper are inline, the holes on the number plate are crooked, :P but new plates coming soon

if it was a 2 door i probably would have chucked an oversized snail shell on the exhaust :P (way too much room there)

i thought exedey were a decent brand, though gotta say, a N/A that has killed 2 clutches, i must be doing something right

but yeah as long as this once lasts long enough, I'll stop being a tight ass 31 owner and buy a 25 box, carbon fibre tail shaft, and a decent/ top of the line clutch kit suited for this.... yay researching again... oh and gear sets for the 25 boxes are over priced

track videos after working clutch, crunching gears probably not going to be too impressive

grumblebee - yeah was thinking of getting another new pressure plate and getting it strengthened, though your track car is a dedicated track car, alot of clutch plates built for track die on the road, but will look into clutch plates to suit. Oh and its a series 1 r31 sillo gearbox, bought it for $50 and was told its a non syncro gearbox by the owner

pete - cheap.... that was the extreme one lasted 3 weeks after the cruise last jan :P wouldnt you or jen need the clutch after skidz?

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
