Chris Wilson Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Hmmm, is there some particular reason they use seven bolts? As the crank flange has eight holes this sounds a bit odd.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) Hmmm, is there some particular reason they use seven bolts? As the crank flange has eight holes this sounds a bit odd.... Must be a mistake on the website OsGiken say use OsGiken bolts or mod the JZA70 bolts; I read the bolts required are shorter than OEM http://www.osgiken.net/upload/d42.pdf Edited March 29, 2015 by Jellybean (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManwithSupra Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 With a stock Giken movement alteration kit the pedal is virtually the same as a stock clutch. It'll probably be lighter still with the concentric release. There may be need for some experiment by Richard with master cylinder sizes, I suggest starting with a 3/4 inch bore one. Clutch is a TR2CD. Yeah, I am going to check to see what I have installed already tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I think I mentioned this to you, but you must use a pedal stop with some cylinder sizes, depress slowly and carefully until the clutch fully releases, if the pedal (and thus master cylinder) still has much travel left you MUST fit a stop or the diaphragm spring will be damaged. I suggest an adjustable stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManwithSupra Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 Sorry for the lack of updates guys, been focused on my new business recently, its been a busy few months Also had a nightmare with the prop shaft took an age to get to me so that put me massively behind as well Car is still getting there, spent a good amount of time on it today finishing off the harness mounts and seat sub frames as some things needed adjusting, will be spending all day tomorrow and all day Friday installing all the new electrics and looms so it should be up and running very soon, testing will follow so I will keep the updates rolling in. I think its safe to say that getting to the next round of Time Attack could be slim, that said things are coming together now I have a bit more time to spend on it. Here is a picture of how it is at the moment, I know you cant see much has changed but there has been an awful lot of work done on the wiring looms, pneumatics, brake lines, brakes master cylinder, wheel bearings, cooling etc parts you cannot really see. https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfa1/v/t1.0-9/19597_835735896501055_6145574716872535795_n.jpg?oh=03db44c065156be5223fa1db7097aa4e&oe=562CF4FE https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xta1/v/t1.0-9/11267103_835735983167713_3951934775792068301_n.jpg?oh=dd2c2b3bab791bfd79e61fe00613512a&oe=5626542C https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/11540842_10153080662883802_5523674631581637931_n.jpg?oh=d670ff5173a98a0a9952c0260d1e38b1&oe=5632023F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManwithSupra Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 How's it going mate any updates ? Sorry dude, haven't checked in for ages. Yeah its getting there, been pretty much 100% commited to my new business so this has had to take a bit of a back burner. Latest update is that I needed to get a custom extention harness made up for the Syvecs ECU as the area where the ECU is located on the car is so hard to get to and that there is so little loom to play with, splicing in the Geartronics ECU would be near impossible. Now JTI made us up the new extention harness means I can plumb in the geartronics gcu without having to be a contortionist, lying upside down with a red hot soldering iron an inch from my face with boiling solder waiting to drip on me. Yay for me and for my face... https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xlp1/v/t1.0-9/11217509_886063341468310_5947080742711194361_n.jpg?oh=651751c0e9bb436b9971f66f4f6ec304&oe=567CC62D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
