was driving at malala and car revved to about 6k in first before i shifted then it hit about 5k in second without the power kicking in..was really loud :) after that little dilemma now my engine bay smells like burnt rubber and when i change gears,it just doesnt sound like what it did before...

wondering what happened, any ideas?

fixed for ya :bunny: sure that it aint wheel spin u smelling or did you mean u took off normal and reved to 6k not a clutch dumping

and andrew its 138hp of oldschool muscle, who could handle the l26 monster :bunny:

those burnouts are not my doin but it is a regular spot for commos. cops actually go down there every now and then at night waiting for them to attack.

sooo.. I just got defected..lol. I sold the skyline to get away from cops, but still managed to get pinged in the shitbox. Least i can laugh about it this time, but i really should pay more attention to my tyres.

and to add on from this we could really use a good pair of 14" tyres. Size not fussed aslong as they got good tread.

yeah im with Craig on this one cooked clutch

ive got no idea when it comes to mechanics and all, but i did have a guess it was either the clutch or the turbo/s (r32 gtr). it still drives relatively ok, need to put alot more effort in shifting and taking off (like just from stationery).

any advice on replacement soon? or is leaving it a bad idea?

p.s. thanks to craig and madaz for the advice

i recommend buying a 4wd and getting it dirty

if only i had a few g's saved up...

the ORC twin is like 2k far out...

might look into something a bit cheaper haha

expecting around 800-1k hopefully, thats a couple of weeks pay

the NPC HD 5puk ceramic clutch good for 350rwkw or little over 300AWKW will set you back around 580 delivered and Daryl from Adelaide Radial Tyre will fit it for you at a good price $350-450 cant exactly say how much every job is a little different

you won't be able to run the suction cap ones at the track anymore. CAMS changed their ruling at the end of last year, infact you aren't even supposed to run anything other than lipstick cams anymore (but they aren't enforcing that at this stage at mallala, and are still allowing handy cams), and if you do run a lipstick cam the brace to hold the computer (that you need to run when using a lip stick cam) must be able to hold the computer under 25G's of load.

What i used was a L bracket that you can find at any hardware store and fixed it to the top of the passangers side seat belt (i.e. the seat belt mounting point near your shoulder)

when im on the track next time ill talk to the guys there and see what they say about the suction cup camera's. its not for any events just practice.

hoping to see all the things i should of done to do things better.

i see heaps of people using them this year so hopefully they dont care so much at mallala

call smooth garage.

niko and benny will hook you up an awsome price for a heavy duty clutch.

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
