andy james Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Extreme do a twin plate specifically for the DE 350 which includes the flywheel. I have used my car for road,track,competition and after trying two other clutches which slipped or overheated on launching It does the job to hang on to over 460 whp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ortega_9 Posted April 20, 2019 Author Share Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) I was thinking about the 230mm twin ceramic rigid clutch. I Saw a ls twin turbo 350z running it at over 750bhp without any issues. but i'm looking at others, as a twin ceramic ridgid type isn't the most dayli driver street type IMO. i always wanted to do the nismo super copper mix twin clutch, but that's going to be on the limit at +600 bhp. I ran a os giken tripple plate in my old vortex sc 350z. And that was the most awesome clutch I have ever had... but at around 3k thats more than I want to spend again.

Ortega_9 Posted April 21, 2019 Author Share Posted April 21, 2019 Car is on the Ground.... Roughly alligned, no exhaust issues, and with a working a/c. All the small annoying things have been dealt with over the course of the winter. I do belive it's ready to get back on the road. I'll give it a wash later today and take a few photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never could before. And the drone... most importantly, it has almost done away with it completely.... There is still a faint drone, but only slight, and only in the rev range where it was at it's worst before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did it for me. The Vibrant ultra quiet resonator 3" in/out. I Got them here at the Best price I could find. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vibrant-STAINLESS-STEEL-ULTRA-QUIET-3-0-INLET-OUTLET-RESONATOR-1142/311940819267?epid=1774498629&hash=item48a11f2943:g:uhgAAOSwpINZZN~W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ortega_9 Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 Car is registered and did my first drive around town just now.... aaaaaaaaaaand it's going back on jackstands... Took my Sweet time to get everything up to temp.... it's a whole new World of noises to get use too also with the new quieter exhaust, so lots og things to keep an eye, and Ear, out for. everything was getting hot enough to get into boost, exept water temp.... Which was getting into the 120 degree c. Long story short. The car was overheating after only 5km... stopped and checked the lower coolant hose from the radiator, and it was cold. So new oem thermostat ordered.... Luckily it's an easy fix. But there is a couple of days delivery from Nissan. At least I now have the time to do some descent brackets for the new plates to go on the new v3 front bumper... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually haven't Got so much of the cracks and pops even before the resonators. I think it's down to having a bigger bore exhaust and the turbos. Also having the aem ecu and not Stock. when i was N/A and Stock ecu with my Invidia gemini exhaust on the car, it did have alot of the pops and crackle, so I think it's hard to compare the two setups.

nissanman312 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Going crawling under mine with a tape measure shortly to see if I can get some of these in place of the invidia silencers just after the de cats. I had a chap look at mine and he thinks those are shot after 30k miles supercharged so hoping I can get a couple of these either in place of those or up by the diff like you have One think I'm confused by is how big they look on your pictures but the measurements on vibrant website suggests they are quite small? At 6.5 inches across the body and 4.75 inch depth by 13 inch long Hopefully I can tuck them out of the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ortega_9 Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 I did like the Sound of the Invidia when i was N/A. Very Well tuned. But too loud with decats for my taste. You don't have to fit the resonators in Line with the exhaust layout, you Can alway cut away 10" or so and reroute the exhaust to the position of the resonators, and then back to the original path 10" back again. thats also what I did. It's not the most pretty solution, but it's the only Way to fit the resonators with such limited space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ortega_9 Posted April 30, 2019 Author Share Posted April 30, 2019 Just removed the old thermostat. could drain the radiator without having to remove the under engine scroud, also removed the thermostat without anything Else having to be removed other than the AN10 Line to my catchtank. So that was great to try that for a change. Not really much to see, apart from some wear on the pistonshaft. seems a bit stuck. anyways, will be replacing as soon as the new one get's here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ortega_9 Posted May 6, 2019 Author Share Posted May 6, 2019 FINALLY the dame thermostat showed up. 14 ****ing days Nissan!!!! It's in the car and working fine. I did have a slight raised temp, as I had alot of air in the system, and beeing really hard to bleed as the two bleed screws to and from the heater have been replaced with water to and from the turbos, so cut the hot side of the heater hose and fitted a new bleeder Screw. now I Can bleed the system and already the temps are around the 92-93 degree where they need to be. Also I noticed that after a few cold starts, the chain rattle have gone completely! So the new main tensioner was the trick! So thats awesome!!!! now I'm gonna take it for a spin and see If I Can finally go into boost!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ortega_9 Posted May 6, 2019 Author Share Posted May 6, 2019 Well... I have some youface stuff from last year... racetrip with the Boys to hotwheelz in Germany. That, and the few ones in this thread, is the only one I have. I'll be dooing some stuff this year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ortega_9 Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 New "axel breakers" fitted and camber set at 0.... looks really badass.... but it runs with 2 degree of toe in due to camber and tracktion rod setting. So I'll have to see what that translates into. Then tomorrow Night it's the first race of the Danish street race series... wish me luck.! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
