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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
