Hey Matt, how you going mate, welcome to my little party lol, just got NPC to hack down the HD Organic for $800 delivered to Sydney so might be going that way, yes just realized yesterday the 33GTR has the same clutch too, so the 33GTR Exedy HD Sports Organic is my other option... My car's got a suspect leak somewhere/running rich and goes like a dog so not all good :wacko: , as well as the slipping clutch drama, will give it to Yavuz, he is much closer to my place and public transports not such a hassle as with JEM's location. I noticed three times that my RPMs in 4th 'sticks' to 5000rpm for a bit, then goes down a couple hundred then back to 5000rpms wtf.. :verymad:

Sounds like your clutch is just slipping its kent out. Get it sorted and you will find you have a different car...

If its running rich and rough check for a Vacuum leak etc, there will be nothing wrong with the tune itself.

Thanks man the tune is sweet, the day I got it and few days after, it was running great, the economy is SO much better, a trip to the blue mountains and back saw me @half tank with 250kms done, before I would be lucky to get 250kms to a full tank, my old injectors were soaked; so the tune is definitely good, will get yavuz to iron out the leaks and wind it up to 40psi! No seriously 22psi if it can take it. Got some exhaust wrap for the cooler pipes over engine bay, I know won't make much diff, but lets see how much it helps at keeping things cooler so I can screw in some decent boost..and yes that clutch...whooopeee

Similar to the clutch i have although i havent driven an NPC yet, i love mine and for daily use its not THAT bad (Although i havent done heaps of daily work yet so ill report back on that lol)

yeah its definitely liveable but takes a little getting used to as its not like a "normal" clutch...once you know how to use it its fine...

It could give the shits if you sat in bumper to bumper freeway traffic everyday though..

but doing that in your Skyline is an insult to your car anyway...

Yeah Pennant Hill Rd shits me enough with start stop and hill starts lol..... But Old Pac generally fixes that with a bit of stress relief and gate!

Just had my npc HD organic fitted yesterday- good clutch but not really as light as stock, it is noticeably heavier and bitier but streetable, still gotta get used to the clutch control- have had stalls taking off.

If your in Sydney- Western Clutch in St Marys will fit your clutch kit for $350, this price is unbelievably too good and the service is equally awesome, and the nicest workshop/mech guy I ever met anywhere. Did a top job.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
