Hicks, like JiMiH said, its an aftermarket clutch. 5-puck ceramic plate with heavy duty pressure plate from The Clutch Factory to be exact. Makes for damn interesting driving :-) If I had to do it again, it'd be going for an Autoclutch 9-puck jobbie, same force distributed over a greater area is slightly easier to drive with.

Pulled 280rwhp at Barries Dyno in Queens Park.

Or more than likley, you'll be showing us your tail. :D In any case, your outta range for the stock turbo award :D  

Speaking of fuel pumps, Barrie showed me a Walbro in tank pump yesterday, a bit of a change from Bosch I thought. Seems like a good deal though, flows 195ltr/hr, enough for 500hp for $220 and a higher model available that flows 255 ltr/hr and can handle high pressure.

Actually im after AdamQs ass but I have to beat yours and Rev210s times first :D

And any R32 in a 10 mile radius :burnout:

That 9-button Autoclutch is whats going into mine, with a stock pressure plate on saturday (I'm ready for the oil bath)

I'll post some pics of the clutch plate and flywheel later.

It's a great setup because the ceramic buttons are located on two bonded and riveted metal discs (just like an organic) and as such there is some 'squeeze' between the plates that allows for a more forgiving take up. All other button clutches are just 'finger style' they are usually on or off and 'chatter' on take up.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
