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 just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
    • The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned. 
    • Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?
    • I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
