I will be going on Saturday morning

Ticket is $70 :(

Also who is good with clutch.

I did my clutch and its making a very loud noise when i release the pedal its vibrates very badly makes the whole car shake also when the car is in gear i can spin the rear wheel with hand.

The pressure plate that i put in which came with the new clutch kit is a little small, will this be the problem.

If John bought it then it will suit the vehicle

Doing a clutch the first time and doing on the garage floor is definitely a painful process

Expense is in the cost of the clutch, not the install. IMHO it's best to get it installed too

(That way there is no argument if it's clutch components or install that's the issue if things go wrong,)

Edit: You bled the clutch cylinder properly?

Gotta love days off! Might get the nitro rc back out today. Hasn't been run for 6 months or so because it was too cold. Mmmm.. Sweet sweet nitro :happy:

Ahh I wish ! I fried the engine in mine. No compression. Didn't tune it after the run in process. It's bean dead for about a year :(. I do love the smell of nitro :D

Woops, yeah my engine seems fairly strong. Needs a real good alignment though haha. Pulls right fairly hard even with left trim :S

did you machine the flywwheel? was it torqued up correctly?

Pressure plate needs a very long process of torqing up in the right pattern.

was everything totally clean, real clean?

Just enough of the right grease in just the right spots?

I did all this first, and still it wasnt easy.

The clutch fork can pop off and jam as your putting the box back on. Did it to me about 4 times before i got it.

My gearbox was on and off a few times before i got everything together right. What a pain.

RB20 box was heavy enough for me, yours must be heavier.

Mines a road car. I sometimes wish it was off road though so I could take it anywhere

But you cant, its gotta be just right.

It can be a real pain finding a good spot for on or off road.

My Tmaxx got taken out by a brick at a building site. Full boar second gear, didnt see it till it was too late. >_<

After that i never went back to nitro

85 amps from a lipo got me hooked on them and brushless motors.

Instant full power, more than nitro, its nuts. So easy to build a car thats way too fast.

You guys have on or off road cars?

I've got both. :D

and yes I've spent many a time searching thru rocks, sticks, leaves and dirt trying to find that screw that parted ways from my RC and ruined my fun. :/

      Pre purchase inspections

      By Therry · Posted

      I'm in the market for 370GT.  I live in Canberra and not much available so I'm looking interstate.  Can anyone recommend an inspection service with expert knowledge of Skylines? Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide (Elizabeth area)

      High EGT mystery

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      A million years later, searching for something else I posted, I was reminded of this thread. I eventually bought a new gauge. Put it in using the same probe (which has been installed the whole time stopping the exhaust gas from coming out the hole) and.... normal service has been resumed. The old gauge was definitely broken. /semi-pointless closure.

      They're available from Nissan! I was able to buy a GTR (R33) one.. relatively* recently. Perhaps this stopped now but I bought mine ... relatively recently. I believe the 300ZX one has a different knee-point which is more rear biased, which I think the HFM one echos.

      370GT ( Type SP ) - Sedan - Cruise Control - Forced Induction - EcuTek

      By MrCodZilla · Posted

      Hey Team, A bit to unload here. Hello from New Zealand I have a 2009 Nissan Skyline 370GT ( Type SP ) Auto 7 Speed, that I've had since 2022 and have loved the car since. Its painted in its factory QAB ( White Pearl ) with the Impul front lip and rare boot lid/spoiler with woodgrain interior. Mods since I've bought it and installed: Stillen Gen 3 Long Tube Intakes Motordyne Shockwave Catback Exhaust JDM Skyline Taillights Fake carbon spoiler and front grill ( Will be taking off.... its cringe ) VR30DETT Transmission from the Q50/Q60 to hold up to 550 Foot pounds of Torque ( 753 nm ) reliable  Currently I plan to turbo the car and have all the parts needed ( Photo Included ), I have my tuning day set on August 8th and choosing EcuTek as my tuning platform. Two of my work colleagues has their 370Z ( Manuel ) and 370GT coupe ( Type SP - Manuel ) also turbo'd and they have inspired me to get it done I have prepped quite a wee bit for this, as I had done the VR30 transmission swap over to this car so that I can achieve my HP goals without torque being an issue. I've taken quite a cautions route, as im always thinking about the safety as well as performance with my build, I'd rather do it properly and not cut corners etc etc. Any who, I've recently picked up the AutoStrada cruise control kit with all the included cables/wires/instructions. I've been hella researching around and can't find much on the integration that it has with the ECU and/or system. the only reason why im asking is, because I'm getting EcuTek and one of them RaceRom features allows the ability to switch maps via the cruise control function, which I am currently in the grey area if this would add-on via the Canbus will allow me to switch maps or have the option to use Cruise Control to begin with ( showing up on the instrument cluster to advise Cruise Control being set etc etc )  Because of my model being Type SP, Cruise Control on these models was never an option from factory unfortunately.  Anyone here that is able to shed some light on if the Cruise Control via AutoStrada gives OEM ability over the cruise control. Would love and appreciate any response and/or assistance with this, also happy to answer any question about my build and ill try pitch in where I can. Warm Regards,

      I thought the only (new) BM57 that was readily available was the one that was a BM57 but with the wrong bias. HFM or someone's?
