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.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.

      @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html

      These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.

      The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.

      It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
