ARghhh :) I want a clutch that will allow me a better ride in peak hour. Currently have a Nismo Twin Plate clutch, and I'm sick of stalling the freaking thing in peak hour (how embarrassing :x )

I'm used to my Toyota Liteace with it's lose clutch, I couldn't stall it if I tried. This Nismo Twin Plate has a "sweet spot" about the size of a pin head :twisted: It's either a delayed take off, a schreech n jerk, or a stall. Not to mention the bunny hopping it likes to do in first.

I might be completely wrong in thinking it's my clutch causing the bunny hopping action, but I just want something that makes me look a fool in peak hour, with less trffic at night and early mornings it's all fine because you can get a nice launch from the lights without the worry of all three lanes infront blocked and a bus infront of you :roll:

Any ideas ? I think I'll need to go cruising with you guys who are a little more technical so I can try and work out whats wrong (prolly just whats between the seat and the steering wheel eh !)

It's going as expected. The car is just as I had hoped for, unfortunately I think the driver leaves a lot to be desired :oops: but hopfully this will come with practice. It's not everyday you go from driving a Liteace to a Skyline 8)

At the moment she's looking rather stocky due to taking a lot of things off for the third Tier inspection. However I will be putting everything back over the ext two weeks, and hopefully getting engineers certificates for the most common things that the cops will try and defect me for, just to make my life a little easier.

I thinik I'll leave the clutch, just because I'm prolly copping out blaming the hardware for my failure to understand how to use it together to get the take off I'm after in differing conditions. HopefullyI can get some pointers off you veterans :)

Prank,

Check out the 6 puk clutch that UAS sells. I've help install one in a GT4 and one in a R32 GTS4.

Both have a really light pedal but have good clamping preasure (about 40% more than standard.

They bite quickish, but very drivable in traffic.

I think they are $595 exchange for the GTS-t's.

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
