  1. I've just recently replaced my exedy HD clutch with a brass button clutch with 6 buttons. I think the driveability of the brass button clutch is actually easier and smoother to drive with day to day around town than my old clutch. Both are very heavy on the left foot but u get used to it.

    I was told that the brass button wouldn't last as long as an organic but organic clutch heats up and begins to slip after a few launches. So far, button has been great. Bout $100 more.

    Can't tell u how long gonna last though....

  2. For the last couple of weeks, had a knocking noise whenever i've turned the steering wheel to the left, even if only 1/8 of a turn. Seems to be worse when going downhill and off throttle.

    Suspension and brakes appear ok, steering joints seem fine too and even swapped tyres to eliminate them as well. Fairly certain problem is with CV joints/driveshaft.

    Anybody had any experience with this?....

    and anybody know of a good place to take and get the car fixed (assuming driveshaft problem?)

  3. Have to go for the N14 SSS! Girlfriend has one and i love driving it (when she's not around! :P ) So much easier to drive round town and uses less fuel than the GTR (don't get me wrong, i love my car more). She's got cat back exhaust, 17" rims and lowered. Looks awesome, goes well, number of people have asked to buy it...but she ain't selling it. I owned a 92 prelude before and it doesn't compare to the SSS!

  4. ... anywhere near a trolley bay at Knox City Shopping Centre!!! :D  :cuss:

    grrr....last time i got back to my car at knox, some little sh!ts were there with there grotty little hands all over it. :uzi:

    Trolley bays at Knox...wish people would freakin use them or maybe trolleys should be banned period!

  5. :)

    OK it's shitty and old but I live close buy and I work across the road and it's my local.... sure a few people have been bashed to an inch off or even past life, but that was in the 80's early 90's (I'm sure you guys were not drinking at the Burv back then... if at all...ever??)  

    Sure it's still no Styl'n (pink polo required) establishment but it serves it's purpose (drinking beer and playing pool after work or even cheap counter meal) it hurts my feelings that so many people hate the Burv :) thats my pub god damn it!

    Anyway... I will be there. :)

    The Burv is shitty and old but the damn bitumen along Burwood Hwy is shitty and new! Don't know if anybody else has noticed it but parts of the new surface they've laid down as part of the tram works has already been torn up and there are heaps of areas where the road is bumpy, uneven and killing my tyres and susp (not to mention all the stones and rocks that are flicked up from ppls tyres). If they can't do something properly, then why bother :)

    Anyway, the middle and right lanes (inbound and outbound) seem to be better from Kmart Burwood all the way down to the Knox rubbish depot.

    Go the Burv!!!

  6. Out of interest - anyone else have any whining/running noise in thier R33 GTR gearbox? if so how loud?

    Ferni, i have the same whining sound that goes away when you press the clutch pedal in. only noticable in neutral but it doesn't sound as loud as yours, mine's more of a minor annoyance. also got an excedy clutch (not sure which one).

    haven't had it checked out yet but i've been told it sounds like a thrust bearing.

    let us know how you get on! good luck!
