Hey guys got my car dynoed at F.I.S.T today

my dad took it in cause due to work, so i didnt get to speak with them

the dyno graphs b4 the car was tuned, was suprsing

only did 116rwkw all the shit was all over the joint.

thats how badly APC tuned the car,

car was tuned, timing adjusted and boost changed to 8 psi

if want some pics of the dyno graphs ya can email me.

[email protected]

after 2 and half hours, and also findin a big leak or somethin on the standard blow off valve and sortin out everything

it was dynoed at 170.1rwkw, on 8psi, smooth as power line.

on that dyno the clutch was slipping at top end so still could of got more.

i just got my car converted to manual, but have had issues with clutch slipping.

my theory is that it wasnt bled properly and could still be air in the system .

as its been adjusted 3 times as the clutch has been engaging at each end of the clutch pedal

and there has been heaps of free travel, then goes back to none at all. and been adjusted each time. Getting real sick of the shit cause havent even got a chance to get a good run in the car.

the gearbox is in good condition,

no crunchin on gears at all,

when the pedal has been adjusted , every is real smooth and awesome to drive

but then a couple of days later it adjusts itself and theres either no free travel or heaps, and engagin at one of the ends of teh pedal.

Brand new clutch ( heavy duty)

and has a 200b slave cylinder, as being told they are the same as a skyline one.

Anyway happy how it idles and runs jsut the clutch at the moment.

and was happy with the dyno even though the clutch did slip on the dyno.

Hopefully when i get all teh shit sorted i'll take it down the quarter .

If you have air in the line the clutch will try to stay engaged rather than disengage.

I ran into a problem a couple of months back when i changed my master and slave cylinders. The master wasn't retracting far enough and maintaining pressure in the system. As a result as the temperature of the fluid got hotter (say from sitting at traffic lights for a couple of minutes) it would partially disengage the clutch which resulted in slip when accelerating away.

Easy one to check too. Jack the car up, grab the piston on the slave cylinder and see if you can push it back. If you cant then thats your problem, if you can then you get to keep looking.

trying what bhdave said today see if i can move it

just the thing is that theres abosolutley no free travel and the clutch is harder then usual to push in , so i dont know if im goin to be able to push the piston back .

give it ago though

and i dont know how to post the dyno graph up

    • The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.
    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using. 
    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
