Hmm might just give the the NPC button clutch a go..but someone at work was saying il be screeching the tyres all the time because you have to rev it and practically drop it..true or false? And what would it be like on a steep hill..roll back or...?

lol yeh pretty much. its either wheelspin or close to stalling if not stalling

Put it this way, my Nismo twin has taken easily 300-400 launches, 50 of those on drag radials before the diff destroyed itself and i tell you, the clutch was smelling like it was farked. Let it cool down though and it was good again.

Plus it's been in the car for ~30,000kms going off the old owner etc. So it's certainly proved it's value.

Tell me about it! They do put out quite a smell when you cook them! you think "well that's it I just farked my clutch" only to discover that it still drives fine and once it's cooled (which takes ages if you are driving still) the smell goes away.

mine is still going strong and I've done 100,000km on it!

what are the nismo coppermix single's like?

everyones talking about eh twin plate nismo's... how bout the singles?

It's a good question, as they are a reasonable price with the flywheel.

Same compound as the twin, just a lessor power ratting (so its easy on the foot)?

RWD only iirc,

Last DECA I managed to experience this playing around with my launch RPM, i'm glad you say that ;).

Oh yeah + another 2c for nismo twin plate (although I have the super coppermix? http://www.nengun.com/nismo/super-coppermix-twin-plate-clutch).

I've got a exedy heavy duty clutch in mine, I've got 270rwkw it feels like stock it should handle 300kw easy

It should be within your budget. I got my clutch through Racepace just ask them.

Thats what i got in at the moment at 250kw. my mate has just over 400 in his VL with a exedy heavy duty in it. the clutch has been in there for years with hundreds of launches and is still holding.

^^^^ No need, he is getting the Nismo at a very very good price!

James, if you are worried about if it's legit or not, I think it comes with an engine bay plate or something to that effect with the part #s on it, I know mine had one as it's stuck in the engine bay. They are extremely light on the foot (easy in stop start traffic even), much better than the high clamp load singles.

Yeah i was gonna say, $1800 is cheaper than any price I've ever seen (except for the LINK clear out sale last year).

$2000 ex-japan, but the lead/wait time is upto 2 months.

So local for $2200 - still a good price

I msged them yesterday for a quote came back with $2900 and no that's not installed ! You must have got them on a good day ! I'm going with my original source his price isn't far off what you got it for delivery time not to bad either (air mail)

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
