I did left alot of factors relating to my decision unnoted which I guess set me up for the above responses and in turn admittedly did make me look like somewhat of a d*ck :laugh:

I merely tried stating that all my funds are exhausted at the moment and will be as at this point in time there are other critical things which require my urgent financial attention to attend to so as little as $3000 for a clutch may seem to some of you I can assure you at this very point in time for me it is not

3k is alot- Thats 6 weeks wages for me atm- But in perspective to 80k it really it nothing.

Get your priorites sorted first- if other thigns are that important and you dont have the fudns atm then the answer is black and white

Wait till your back on your feet and have the money to throw around

Josh stop posting pictures, you know i can't see them on my work computer and i want to laugh at them but they are little square boxes with a red X in it :(

My bad.

:fakenopic:

Get someone at work to perform some :mage: and see epic pics.

My question is

A) how did you have the motor forged and not know what clutch is in it ?

B) why wasn't the clutch checked/replaced whilst the motor was being forged?

In answer to the op keep it fix it enjoy it ! It will be hard to find a car that you will enjoy as much as a 34R but as with any car if you drive it hard be prepared to pay !

Lol I actually inherited one ! One owner 120k on the clock in old man gold ! With original 14 inch steelies with hub caps still attached . That is a hard car to compete with

Thats a good question.

Basically the reason motor was forged was that the oil pump let go around the same time I had to finalise all my Vegas trip funds last year.

This obv meant motor out job = alot of money. Long story short I cancelled my Vegas holiday, spent a bunch of money at workshop after the motor came out in order to carry out the necessary work (at the same time done other things like sump, camshafts, fuel pump, powerfc as the car was still at the workshop along with a huge a$$ list of other stuff).

Knowing my luck at the time certain financial circumstances were changed and I had no time and money to spare to continually add bits and pieces to the car as I went. I ordered the motor back together ASAP as I just wanted the car on the road and couldn't afford to put any more into it at the time. As a result the clutch was completely over looked however the workshop had stated its a Nismo of some sort which made me sleep abit easier for the time being

Need some 12 slotters for it?

Sitting in the rents backyard.

Doing SFA.

Thanks for the offer would have taken you up on it but donated the car to tafe a long time ago. Bit sad as a xr6t motor would have slotted nicely in it !

As for op I know what's done is done but clutch should have been amongst the top of the "to do list" so now you have to fix something you should have already done . Fit nismo twin and enjoy !

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
