I did the clutch in my R33 a couple of weeks ago, mine looked worse than that. I wish had kept it now to get some photos.

I should see if my mate got any photos of the clutch in his Pulsar, it exploded into lots of little pieces.

roasted the clutch in my mates 12,000 kay old hilux doing burnouts offroad and pulled the entire clutch disk lining out of the gap between the box and bellhousing. lol

hahaha, the if u knew the dude that owned it ud understand, also the clutch was no where near the power handling ability it was claimed to be from the shop that put it in for him.

Even if the clutch was not rated for the power of the car, I wouldn't think it would shred the clutch like that. I have seen clutches explode from being driven in stupid ways, my clutch was FUBAR when I pulled it out, but I have never seen a clutch do that. I reckon it is either a defective clutch plate or not put in properly.

no, it is possible to do that to any clutch.

the night before we put my bros clutch in he though he'd go out and thrash the clutch as much as he could.

basicly, he sat there and made it slip for ages, which caused the material to shit it self leaving the rivets there to scratch holes in the pressure plate.

he also f**ked up the flywheel (he had a new one to put in anyway)

all in all the car wasnt drivable and had to be pushed into the garage.

    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
