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...

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
