Small update.... ITS RUNNING. Fired first go! Smells like burnt dust apparently .

A 9174 would just make the EGP pressure issue worse and in my mind it seems like a bit of a GT RS shit going on. Not that it's horrendously bad (It wouldn't be no twin buttplug pressures), That's NOT

If your willing to take the hub apart then i still think it should be pretty easily do able on a cnc machine.. let me know if you get stuck finding someone to machine it.

I have a few mates with access to 5 axis cnc machines who should be able to do it.

I'll keep that in mind mate, cheers.

I'll see how I go tomorrow.

Try this mob too Paul..they would be able to machine and cut the internal splines no problem. As for cost to do it i couldn't tell you.

Also depending on the size step up in diameter you might be able to machine the existing hub out and just re spline it if there is enough meat left to do it.

That sucks about the clutch plates. With our NPC twin plate in the race car when we switched to the PPG gear set which was using the Chevy splined input, they just took out the Nissan centre splines and riveted in a Chevy spline boss to both plates.

I don't know whether you have driven a car with a NPC twin plate before but its a solid type clutch which I would swear is just as light as a standard clutch and drives likes a standard one in terms of take up when released. Its crazy how nice it is for a 1000hp rated clutch.

Its an option you could look at if you cant find a solution for your current clutch.

I'll ring that St Mary's mob tomorrow.

Any idea who I should be speaking to?

Edit: John apparently :D

Scott, talk to scott, he is Johns son and more into the import/performance side of things

Not saying John doesn't know his shit cause he does I've just always dealt with scott when it comes to the cars and John with the truck and 4wd stuff

Can't say I have driven a car with an NPC. Not sure if the Nismo twin is built the same way as the NPC but apparently it's not that easy. (What Jim Berry told me)

Any chance you could just get the plates from a exedy chev clutch and drop em in, providing their the same diameter the rest should be the same given the twin plates aren't factory replacement but a full replacement

Talk the Scott, he'll know

What about PPG themselves, its their box and shaft, surely they wouldn't sell it with this setup if you couldn't get a clutch for it

It's not the clutch that's the problem, I just want the big spline in a coppermix. Nismo don't have that option.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
