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.

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

      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?

      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.

      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.
