if you're sure you're in the right, threaten to take him to a tribunal

www.cttt.nsw.gov.au

but write them a letter of demand first about your problem and how you want it resolved. you can use this letter in the tribunal to prove that you tried to resolve it privately first.

you'll need receipts, and warrany records, photoes and stuff to prove your case.

I had a problem where a guy ingnored me for damaging my car until I threatened to take him there in a latter of demand. From the website, its $31 to apply but luckily i didnt have to go that far

yeh i remeber reading about that one a little while ago. its good that you got the money for the repair.

GOOD NEWS :D .. ok i put the car up on car stands tonight and took the gear box out (man thats a b!tch isnt it), and found what i had hoped for! , nothing at all was broken. the fork that pushes the thrust bearing had come uncliped from the thing that holds the bearing and was stuck pushing the thrust bearing up against the clutch, casusing the clutch to slip, which also caused the fork to not return to its home posistion because it had also come dislodoged from the clip that holds it onto the pivit ball.

i think i know why this had happend too now that ive seen what has happend. a week ago i had the clutch master and slave cylinder, and all ajoining pipes and hoses, reconditioned. and the result of that was a longer throw on the slave cylinder.

this pushed the fork and the thrust bearing further than normal and the fork had slid off the thrust bearing as a result of that (i assume.. its the only thing that makes sence). im not going to even bother explaining it fully, too hard with out pictures and i couldnt be bothered crawling under the car again to take photos.

so when i put it all back together tomorrow, im going to ajust the clutch pedel so that the pick up point is lower down so that it doesnt push the fork as far anymore :(

now assuming that was all that was broken, and is now fixed up, ill be puting the car back together and be driving by tomorrow night :P :P

sorry guys, i jumped to conclusions here with assuming that the pressure plate had failed.. but everything that it was doing showed this.. sliping clutch, snaping feel on the pedel (which was just the fork sliping off). and the clutch fork staying pushed in. but thankfuly it wasnt what i thought it was.

:P:D

glad you go it all sorted out. i was thinking it was the pivot ball that had snapped. i had it go in mine. i had the car up on jacks to replace the front pipe and when i let it down and went to back it out of the garage the clutch felt weird. i let it up then pushed it in again then let it up. as i let it up again the pedal just shot to the floor. turned out it had snapped it off clean at the bell housing. my mechanic mate said this is usually caused by it being over tightened when installed. cost me 90 cents to fix (thanks to a mate that works at an enginnering shop) and a few hours under the car. the pivot bolt seems to be a common weakness on 33's though. i had 1 go, then a few weeks later a mate had his go, but it just snapped the head off. and the owner of the local autobarn had one snap where mine did in his 33.

      Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed

      hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me

      Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
