Hey guys

dunno if its just the ceffys ive had or me ;) but the firewall seems to be weaker where the clutch master bolts upto when ya do a five speed conversion from the auto this time around im running a OS twin plate and the firewall flexes like an inch, inch and a half i'm thinkin that if left itd probably crack and make me cry :D plus it feels like the clutch isnt engaging all the way :D sssoooooo I was just wondering if there was such a thing as a brace for the clutch master to stop flex or anyones ideas on how to resolve this problem cheers for any help :P

To be safe - Get the firewall welded up but will be a few hundred $$$$

As for braces...NFI havent heard of anything.

A mate just put his foot thru the firewall becuase of this exact reason...literally installed the heavier clutch, drove around for 10 mins then BANG....

hmm i think i need one of these bracing devices also. Mines only a 5 puck brassy and can feel it slightly flexing already - also was a auto to manual converted cef. anyway got a link to where ya can get them?

EDIT: Paid closer attention to it today after this thread. I actually think its just my clutch pedal box thingo twisting slightly with a bit of creaking so prob not firewall afterall. Probally just have to grease it up a bit and have a closer look one day. Meh no biggie. I'm not really fussed.

Nah I gave my a real test last night with clutch kicks and pushing as hard as I could on it and there was no way it was flexing :P

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
