premo-s12

huh. so by nearly stock pedal effort, do you mean the pressure plate is relatively stock then? stiff clutches kill me (blown out knee(s) ) thx for the tip! i looked at the catalog and teh SE S12 clutches are different then the Z31...odd. huh, the early turboZ and non-turboZ clutches have a different part number, and it looks like they offer a different set of clutches for the SE S12 (no part numbers or TQ ratings either?). ill have to shoot them an email and ask about the differences in these clutchs

DXD? never heard of them...heard of those other companies tho. is that a new company or are they just now making VG clutches?

"I thought it might be the ecu, because I have high impendance injectors running on a low impendance ecu." have you tried running dropping resistors yet? i mean, you know thats you're supposed to use LOW impedence injectors right so logic would tell me to fix what all you know is wrong and go from there...just me two cents *edit* oh yea, if you dont have a FSM, go here and download one and pull the codes. good luck!

im looking at model #17076 i guess they dont have their 'race' cams listed for whatever reason. anyone have any experience with these guys and their work?

well, any recommendations on clutches? im looking at these two now: click and click no its not a daily driver

awesome!! thanks man

oh hell, ive seen that video before..i think on youtube or something. didnt know that was him! yea, that blower sticks up WAY to high, its rediculous LOL

im going to get my cams ground down. im looking around right now for a good grind/duration, etc. any input on this would be greatly appreciated hey, i dont suppose you could take a pic of your pulley situation could you? or just a bunch of the front of the engine and a few good shots of the crank pulley? thats be awesome!

aaah...ok. yea, i know the Z32 was a bit of a pig, but i just assumed all the Z31's were in the 3200 range. huh, i could'a swore on his profile on z31.com it said he ran a 13.3 with the blower. maybe i read it wrong. damn, i need to know now!

pardon my ignorance, but whats the curb weight of a Z31? i was under the impression that it was somewhere in the ballpark of 3200-3300?! at any rate, 100# is 100# missouri! thats right. a buddy of mine has seen the car a few times. from what i can tell from the pics, that thing sticks out WAAY to far for my tastes, but whatever. i talked to him a while back actually...he posts on z31 from time to time. he runs a 13.3 oh yea, mines also stripped down to 2 seats, a dash board and a stearing wheel. its not the lady getter LoL id like to get her to the scales as im curious what she weighs now, feels to be a grip less then my Z31

nah, just looking at getting a new clutch/flywheel (lightened) for my SE and was curious why there was two types for the Z31 thanks again for the info! on a side note, that 240mm clutch appears to work on the 200sx w/vg30e and the 280zx as well

huh, interesting. thanks for the info!

hehe, s12's are fun. i have mad love for the Z31 but more for the S12 just due to the curb weight being substantially less. the rear end is the same, the front is a tad different (280zx suspension) but not a whole lot. the weight balance is near 50/50 even with the VG, etc, etc...only stitch is there's minimal room to work with under the hood where as there's a grip of space in a Z31 more or less they handle just like a Z31 only lighter and more nimble this is my car i think the car you're thinking of (the one down below) is a Z31. if memory servers its some guy back in louisiana or something, dont recal exactly at the moment tho it looks like this, im probably gonna take that thing off tho as i think it makes it look to much like a vette and just let the thing stick out of the hood i aborted that project (the M90) as it was just an uber pain in the ass. i got all my mounting hardware and everything sorted out, but the damn thing was gonna be WAY to tall and look WAY illegal as well!! not to mention my plumbing problems, the whole size, etc, etc. this M62 will sit low in the bay, sticks out maybe 2-3". im not sure what im gonna do about the belts. ill post pics when i have it sorted out and ready for install in the car. as of now im sorting out my engine, cams (still looking around for a good grind, ideas?), flywheel, clutch, fuel management (going with the merc injectors, cheap!), etc, etc. at anyrate, which yrs of maxima have the serpentine? i could always do a quick run to the yard this weekend!

i see there's 2 clutches used in the Z31: on that works for the 83-89 NA motors and 83-86 turbo motors (this is what will work in my SE S12 apparently) and another for 87-89 turbo motors. whats the difference in these clutches?

to ad a bit to this thread...buy yourself an xterra or frontier blower and the plenum. it WILL bolt up. the only problem will be your pulley situation at the VG33ER crank pulley will not bolt up. ill ad more to this when i have more info im going this route as its the only option i have in my S12 due to lack of space under the hood. there's simply NO where to fit a charger under the hood unless i want to remote mount the damn thing...adn no thx, ill pass!! ill post some pics soon

awesome dude! where in socal are you located? also, what do you do about smog B.S.?

neat-o!! i cant wait to see the end result

if you need an ECU i have one off an 85 Turbo (auto). email me tho as i dont log on to this site to often

sweet, i figured it would be something like that my oil pump went out on my S12 and i have a good ET pump lying around so ill just use that.. thx again dude!

are all the VG oil pumps swapable? i hard there was some differences in teh VG oil pumps thru the years and from turbo to NA. thanks in advance!

http://car-part.com/ you can usually find them there

i thought the 300zr had an RB20? **edit** im an idiot i was thinking of the 200zr on the transmission, if memory serves, i think the output shaft has to be swapped out on the s13 trans. i do believe the s12 trans is a direct fit (into your housing)

that was the first thing i looked at. next was fluid level. i have a horrible suspicion that the master cyl went out, at least, thats what it feels like. im gonna jack it up and look for leaks and bleed the system tomorrow (granted its now 95deg again!!!!!!! OMG). doesnt really feel like the clutch is gone. thanks

gotcha. no, its an external bypass, but built onto the side of the blower if that makes any sence. ill see about getting some pics later...for now im off to a bbq!

yea, ive replaced enough of them to know the signs, i was more or less just wondering if this rumour was tru or not.. no biggie. i think the engine has somewhere around 80ish, but it gets driven REALLY hard on a daily basis lol
