New clutch in, verdict...

[DJ_L3ThAL]

well got my new exedy single plate heavy duty fitted by ice performance today and WOW is all i can say, its soft, but nice and touchy, perfect for quick launches, doesnt ride too easy which is good, will stop me ****ing it up and wasn't too bad during peak hour traffic on the way home, would recommend it to anyone who isnt going too far with power like me but needs something more than the stocker... btw my stocker was nice nj burned when i looked at it today hehehe but yer im really happy with it, next stop, powerfc and electronic boost which will be fitted and tuned tomorrow so will post my dyno results, then next week ill get tmy c's short shifter which i just ordered so now hopefully i can break some 13s at calder :D but we'll see...

Oh and by the way, I met your g/fs 'lil bro on friday night, his mate owns a stocky RX-7 Series 1

[DJ_L3ThAL]

hehe yer an rx7 that's smashed at the moment... he lost it in the wet and hugged a tree on the front left quarter

and enough with the rice jokes lol, ill beat your commonwhore anyday bring it on BIAAAAAAAAAAAtch

[Horus]

good move on the aftermarket clutch lethal, now you can boost up up your car with ease

[KamikazeR33]

ive had that clutch in my car since b4 i bought it... its great

great with launches and great for everyday driving

[DJ_L3ThAL]

yer and takes the power

[RBN1]

DJ_LeThAl how much did it end up costing all up including fitting?

Is that the same as the "organic" clutch?

[DJ_L3ThAL]

call ice performance on 95127591.. thats where i got it done

[RBN1]

yeh i know where u got it done

Thats why I asked.

btw I got my Daikan Exedy H/duty clutch kit inc fiting for $700 all up.

[DJ_L3ThAL]

cheaper than me, but oh well, rather pay more kowing i can trust the guys doing it.. i been down the 'cheap labour' track before and didn't come out very happy

[RBN1]

yeh i got mine done @ C&D Motorworks in Sunshine. They're a performance place also. Lots modified Rex's & imports in there all the time. I also got a quote for $650 for my timing belt from Ice but got it done @ C&D for $280 (genuine Nissan belt)

Mind u Leewah from Ice has always been very helpful and informative whenever I've ever asked for something. I know my car is going to go down to Ice when I need to get some internal mods done in about 11months time

[DJ_L3ThAL]

$650 ? maybe that was a special type of belt ?... oh well im planning on doing all those maintenance things myself anyways... i might get some of ice's cam gears coz they are very nice and also well priced, see how they go, might help to get my over 200rwkw with stock turbz

how much does a clutch similar to the factory r33 gtst cost?

[RBN1]

nope just the Nissan belt. They said it cost so much cause they have to take the radiator and all the belts off as well to get to the timing belt. ah well.

btw What as your car running rwkw wise when we went on the cruise down to Great Ocean Road?

[RBN1]

Unfortunately its pretty similar to the Daikan Exedy. Exedy kit is about $420 and stock is about $350?

The exedy is very daily drive able (hell I drive from Sunbury>City almost every day)

umm at the gor it was stock LOL so about 130rwkw or whatever it is, with pod, zorst, safc & 10psi, front mount i managed to pull 182rwkw, now i have the powerfc and electronic boost so will be interesting to see what it pulls

timmyg, the exedy clutch i just got feels softer than my stocker did, its just a lot more touvhy and 'shorter' contact space if u get what i mean, it thros the power to thew road much better than the stock and doesnt huirt your left legf after long drives, i drove to ice and back and i live the opposite side of town and my legs were fine

[Timmy G]

hey dj,

yeah i think i know what you meant - like there is only like 2cm of movement in the clutch pedal between no contact and full contact?

[DJ_L3ThAL]

yer, so initially when u push on the clutch it does nothing there's a lot of pointless pressing on the clutch lol its weird i got in and stalklked out the front of ice reversing out lol

[Timmy G]

i drove a satria gti a couple of days ago and i did exactly the same thing, and i also scraped the front bar underneath

[DJ_L3ThAL]

hahaha
