As a warning.


This is what happens when you have a extra heavy duty single plate clutch with a standard flywheel (suspect it to be second hand) and a R32 GTR with big power during launches. Yes, we only warned him last week.

Benm had similar experience, although worse as his flywheel exploded and did far more damage. I remember seeing pics of this R32 anyone have link to pics?

Yes the clutch exploded only, although the factory cast iron flywheel are dangerous for big hp and big launches, as they may flex or explode. One piece billet Chrome Molly are best if using a single plate or a 7 1/4 inch twin plate, like Tilton. Nismo, Extreme, OS Giken ect also are billet steel. I am pretty sure for 10 second or faster cars ANDRA require a billet flywheel as well as a 6mm scatter plate around the bell housing.

In my race car I have a custom Chrome Molly Nitrided flywheel to suit the 16mm bell housing adapter and a Tilton 7 1/4 Rally clutch, btw clutch and flywheel combined only weighs just over 9kg. I also run a anti heat anti scatter ex Nascar blanket, over the tunnel inside the car.

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

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

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
