It's getting to the stage where you find a good workshop, they treat you good for a while then shaft you, find another workshop and same thing ,good for a while then you get shafted again.

Sick of this sh$t . :no:

Bl4cK32 , where do you get your car done ?

My problem is I work 10hr days :) and on my day's of I'm knackered and wouldn't trust myself doing these repair's ( nitro rc car's no worry's} .

Talking clutches, my exedy twin plate needs rebuilding . Any recomendations? How much?

I have been told by a mechanic {big name workshop again} that it is $200 cheaper to rebuild it, than buying a new one .

Is this bullsh$t ?

Some one else{advan} said all I need is new plates {$700-$800} + labour, and rebuild Hydrolic booster seal's including labour $150 approx . Compared to what I was charged for the clutch in the first place, Way cheaper option .

Some one else said go see adelaide clutch services and they could make up chromeolly or whatever it is plates that will last twice as long as the above ones and cost a fraction more.

Now the first workshop said that it's no use just doing plates etc because some other part would be knackered , which is why he said replace it rather than rebuild it .{ can't remember the part though} .

I will say I am now confused as sh#t . :(

You people probably are too. LOL

Now please HELP a guy who's about to have a nervous brakedown get some sleep and peace of mind

any comment's PLEASE

Or if you have a magic wand, can I borrow it. LOL

I mostly work on my own car, but get Shaun to do tuning or complicated stuff...

If u need a gb done there are a couple of good places in Adelaide. Ask on the forums here for recommended places...

Twin plate i would just buy the rebuild kit for it (plates) that need replacing or whatever. Ask in the driveline section as a few places in Aus sell recon plates, and it would probably be cheaper to get it sent here than buy in SA.

If your happy with the way the clutch was before, why go changing plates. There is no need to get a whole new clutch if the other just requires plates....

has any one here tryed using the os gilken cross gear set in their box? surposed to be tuff as and a lot more freindly than a straight cut dog box gear set. reading from fast fours and rotarys these are selling at $3500 for cross and from $6500 for dog box internals

feed back apreciated.

Has anyone here tryed fisher performance on main north road ? spoke to a fellow there and he seemed quite reasonable. price wise i mean.

Also , has anyone used adelaide brake and clutch services around cavan rd ?{clutch repairs or rebuilds}

Any feadback apreciated. >_<

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
