hi all i just moved to okinawa from the united states and recently purchased my dream car an r32 gtr. the car has 600hp and has what feels like an unsprung clutch in it. i was told its an os giken triple plate. the release bearing is making an incredible amount of noise and i wanted some insight as to what clutch i can use for driving this thing around the island is sooooo tiny and there wont be any chances to stretch her legs until she goes stateside in 4 years. any help would be greatly appreciated. also i looked at he thread about clutches and nothing seemed to help my situation. i also would like to know what spring rate coilovers to buy as i am looking at fortune autos i have had them on past cars and loved them again i am looking for comfort not performance as the car will never see hard launches track days etc just maybe a spirited start every now and then.

thank you in advance to all who can help!

Just keep in mind.....good coilovers cost around $1500 per corner. Anything less than that cannot be described as a "good coilover", really only being able to be described as "not terrible" at the upper end down to "really crap" by the time you get to $400 per corner.

I mean, just good dampers on their own cost more than $300 each. And they're only "good" not "great" in terms of the toys that come with them. ie, they're not adjustable, not height adjustable.

Brand names for damping = Ohlins, Bilstein and some others, depending on how rich you are.

Brand names for Jap coilovers = Cusco, Tein and so on, and there is no overlap between those lists.

valving? shouldnt that be adjustable?

BC's are adjustable, doesn't make them any good at all, whatever the setting.

A quality shock is gonna cost some coin either way. A Nismo S tune should do the trick bang for buck.

Yahoo Auctions.

The Tein I have is poop..

Not sure how good the Hypermax or Cusco.

Im tryin to save up some coin for the Ohlins .

If you come across the Ohlins black flag get them.

they are as rare as bigfoot riding a unicorn on a rainbow.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).

      EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
