Best I could do was back up my 12.3,

Clutch didn't seem to like 300+kW+Drag launches+fat heavy car and is now rather f**ked.

I wont be buying another exedy clutch as it only lasted 9 drag launches and 10k km of fairly sensible street driving most of it on 280kW.

DVS JEZ what would you suggest? Car isn't driven daily and pedal weight is less of a concern but i would like to maintain some feel and not go back to the on/off switch HKS twin plate i had in it.

I've just had the same with an Exedy clutch, it's been in my car for approx. 10 months, and it's gone - in the space of about 2 weeks it went from mild slipping in 4th and 5th to slipping really badly in every gear except first. I've done 8 drag launches (at the SAU Drag Day last year) and the odd Texi day (I usually volunteer for the Texi days, so I only tend to do 2 or 3 runs in a day).

I'm looking for a Nismo Super Coppermix single at a somewhat decent price - can anyone hook a brother up???

i actualy should have went heathcote yesterday apparently no rain and a mate ran an 8.9 in his street car!

Must be pretty trick. They get a bit twitchy and take your plate#, boot you out if you don't have the right cage/chute/gear at those speeds.

Daleo and Myself are heading out to WSID on Wenesday the 22nd of August anyone else keen to come down and join us???

I possibly could be interested, I'm dead stock right now, so it would be good to see how it improves over time.

I might be keen, don't know if I can do better:(

Awesome Rudi; it would be great to see you, we need to chat.

Set yourself a benchmark, and watch the times drop as you make changes.

yeah come down and have some fun, first time is always exciting no matter what!!!......... you should get a 14.9sec pass

Mine did a 14.9 standard; there's a line in the sand for you, Brick. :thumbsup:

How much is it and what do i need to bring along? Do they do much scrutinering?(the dodgy people who complied my car didnt change the tires so it still has japanese tires on it) I may have a band rehearsal, but if not i would say that im in for sure if there are a few other guys going. Would be good to meet a few other stag owners

its only $50 and you could possibly get up to 5-6 runs depending on how busy it is.

you need a helmet and long sleved shirt and pants. scrutinering is easy as long as the car is road worthy. tires should be ok.

    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
