What clutch did you go with??

I just fitted an Xtreme Motorsports DSBMS Clutch Kit

Had big shudder issues when first fitted but appear to have eased a bit. Reverse is a killer still though.

Not sure but I think the fact its AWD doesn't help much, if you dump the clutch a bit harder it feels like the front diff is trying to climb out from under the car now.

I have spoken with Xtreme about this and we are working on a solution.

Be good to see how it copes come the Highclere Hillclimb next weekend. :bunny:

im just hoping my car is gonna survive highclere :-P

Highclere isn't that hard on cars.

Its all go except for one corner in the middle.

Basky Hillclimb probably puts more strain on your car than Highclere ever will.

aah nice! i need to find some vids of the highclere run so i know what it looks like

its going to rain. give me a call if you need me to reconstruct your car lol.

send me a msg if you head out mate I need a few laps round there as well

well. im hoping its an early or late drizzle! i want a few laps. ill be heading out there anyways even if i dont run :)

fark that off. seems your going for a "race car look" but your going about it wrong mate

put your GTR wing back on, get a GTR replica bar on the front and ditch the rear bar for a stocker. you could go with rear over fenders and even wider front guards but you could still pull it off as it sits

maybe a replica paint job like this....

I can get the decals/sponsors made and could get your wheels sand blasted and could paint them white also. not to mention i'm pretty handy with my tig i could even replicate that side pipe.

problem is... i dont really want the GTR look.. which is why im eventually gonna remove gtr bonnet, get rid of gtr wing and grill too.

I like the big wing look :nyaanyaa: have always wanted one, granted people arent gonna like it, but in the end its my car :-) i wanna do some tests with the wing at a track day as its adjustable. and hey, if it proves useless at a point i can take it off, whack it on cheries car when she gets a skyline :-P

Oh it wont be totally useless, when you get all hot and bothered from wrestling the car whilst its behaving like a cop on the track you have somewhere to hang your race suit out to dry :nyaanyaa:

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
