Does anyone know if the standard GTR flywheels is supposed to have a step in it (as opposed to being completely flat)? I put a new NPC clutch in my GTR last year and the engagement point is very high (at the top of the pedal travel). I seem to remember before I got it machined it had a step in it just outside where the friction plate sits, but the shop machined it flat. I've tried to find what the standard step is in the GTR service manuals, but no luck. Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers, Josh

IIRC the aftermarket flywheel i bought (after getting rid of a twin plate) was pretty much flat. Also i think if there's extra meet where the clutch plate sits (ie the pressure plate is slightly recessed, it would make the take up point higher if anything. Is the throw out bearing pressed all the way onto the carrier?

Seems weird that there's no change with the adjustment. That doesn't sound right.

when I said step I meant the centre section, where the friction plate sits, is raised, not lowered. throw out bearing should be in fine. clicked in without problem when installing it. and when adjusting the pedal it does move the friction point but the problem is more that the friction point is outside of the "sprung" section of travel. every manual car I've driven the friction point is about in the middle of the sprung section, not where your foot is almost off the pedal like mine is... if that all makes sense

Yep that's what i was trying to say.

Oh you're a pull clutch - i'm not really familiar with those.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
