Well, not sure at this stage...

Thanks for the offer Ryan. From what I've been told, if it doesn't fix the problem, the car will still drive fine, but I have a higher chance of smashing this box aswell, which I can't afford to do right now, not for the next 3 months or so that is, so I don't know if I want to risk it.

I also don't want all you guys to bust your balls for me on a whim if you know what I mean, I'd just feel bad about it...

If your clutch is a bit ???? and your rear main seal a bit ???? then i would be waiting and doign it all properly.

What exactly is wrong with the clutch that means its not disengaging? I dont know but that sounds to be an adjustment thing ????

But do it right, missing a DECA sux but you do have a back up car or two :P

Buy a new clutch. Rebuild the old clutch later and sell it off as a rebuilt clutch.

The extreme clutch supplier dude that me and Al have used will deliver next day.

Wack the new clutch and BOX in on thu night and bob's my dad.

Don't worry about the time taken to do it. As Ash said, it wont take all night.

Is it currently a twin plate?

I will also be available for Thursday night, so i will give Dave a call on Thursday to get an update.

On a another note, i may have to pull my car out of DECA :D.

Went for a drive on the weekend and was hearing a deep winding noise from the engine bay, at idle. Tracked it down to behind the cam covers. Will be taking the car to my mechanic tommorrow to have a listen, if he knows all is ok, then no problem, but if he suspects a fault then i will pull out :(. I was so pumped up for this event :ermm:

Either way i will still come up!

Anyone got a spare 33 i can borrow? ;)

heh, i may still have my old clutch layin round, but i doubt you would want to do that, especially at deca. the only good thing is your gearbox wont be hurt in the slightest as it will probably never fully engage with all the clutch dumping. as for putting everyone out i think we see it as something to do!!! would be a bit of fun;)

Im more than happy to give ya a hand with all this, and even if its the clutch, we can look at it with the box off, its the best time for it.

its for free dude, you might as well give it a try and see if its worth it.

Cheers

Sean.

Troy: I'm not sure exactly what makes it not disengage fully, but it's something to do with a few stress fractures I have in the clutch plates. I've been strongly advised not to put another box in without fixing it. In their words the clutch is 'f**ked!'

Chris: Yeah, it's currently a twin plate OS. Just buying another clutch would be the easy option, I work right next to EXEDY, but I simply can't afford it at the moment. I just put a fair amount of money into it last week...

Ryan: Thanks man, appreciate the offer dude!

Sean: thanks man, why is it always you that ends up fixing my car?? :D haha

Realistically, I think the only way to get it to DECA is to put another clutch into it, whether that be a secondhand one I can borrow, or a new one, which is just not an option at this stage...

      HR34 GT speedo issue

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Probably speedometer itself if the odometer is ticking. If the needle is stuck from a bit of grease or something that can cause it to stay at 0. Or a cracked solder joint in the speedometer can do it too.

      WTB RB25 Gearbox NSW / central west

      By Dylannn · Posted

      Thanks Fella’s   to take this off topic and to elaborate a bit more. I have an rb25/30 going into a r32 GTST.. expected to make around 600-700hp. Would you?   A) R34 GTT box   B) CD00#?  I’ve seen a few posts about the CD swap and sounds fairly involved with making it fit etc but if it’s worth the work then I’ll go that way

      Lower at the hubs. Funny I forgot to mention that part. Do this pull here I turned the camera off too soon but the graph shows a drop at the top and that was because the pipe from the turbo blew off. The tuner said we could’ve made possibly another 15 whp. He also added if I switched to ethanol we could up the boost some more as well. I was comfortable capping it at the most of 20 pounds. Turns out the turbo pipe just needed a new worm clamp. Got home replaced that then did a third gear pull from 3k to 7200 rpm and the power was great to the top. I just got an ecu mounting bracket from IEE that I need to try and get everything to fit well. It’s a PITA to get the harness and ecu fit properly behind that kick plate

      R34 Manual conversion Speedometer

      He means "as opposed to mechanical cable drive". Older cars (R32 for ex.) had cable drive. Later cars with essentially the same gearbox, ie R34 GT (NA RB25) used essentially the same box as the R32 GTSt, but instead of a cable drive, had an electronic speed sender plugged into the same hole in the box, running from the same little gear that would have run the cable. Some of the shittier later cars use a speed sender on the nose of the diff, or the ABS sensors.

      Lower than engine, or lower than it should at the hubs? Either way, that is a nice power figure and I'm not surprised you say it rips now. What stopped you from turning it up any more? Injectors? Or did it just stop responding to boost?
