Anyone actually running the clutch in question? Input from someone who actually has it would be helpful, as this is my preferred option and it'll be done very soon.

I have a 9-puck Brass button Xtreme clutch, with 2500lbs pressure plate :) Best $1k I ever spent on the car.

Yeah, it's a pain sometimes in traffic, used to do the peak hour thing every day a while ago - pain.

These days in the wet its more painful than ever, i take off in second with a slippery road or its well too easy to spin. But a little bit of skill and you'll be fine.

just went and had a look at the clutch, mmm purple :rofl:

Strich9 - im used to a quite stiff twin plate, and then a pretty much on/off single plate in my mates wrx, so getting used to this new one shouldnt cause too much of an issue...hopefully.

Haha @ stall it!

Thats exactly what i did when i had mine installed after a standard one....

I have the same clutch too and love it, have been quite brutal to it with NO slip or probs at all for the last 6 mths. You still have a heavy pedal that only really shows itself when in traffic like Strich9 said and i found it can shudder a bit when it warms up in the same situation....but other than that its all good!!! :D

i didn't stall it!!!! :)

god damn this clutch is nice... nice and smooth when you want it to be, or let it out a bit quicker (i accidently did after driving home from hyperdrive) and it grabs... oh it grabs.

im with you strich9, best $1000 ive spent on the car.

Glad you like it Mitchell.

Told you they were good and for the rest of the peoples, the only reason it was $1K is that a s/hand flywheel and bolts were needed as his original one was designed for a single OS Giken.

i think i need to get myself a new clutch.. it seems to be getting worse too. If i put my foot down in 3rd, 4th or 5th it starts to slip... but doesnt in 1st and 2nd. Im guessing its putting more pressure/torque on the clutch in the higher gears.. but dunno

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
