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.

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
