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 would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
