Pictures need words Josh, I dont see any obvious problems... :D

<ring ring>

Me: Hi Mr. Exedy, I need a temporary clutch for my R32 gtst with rb25 motor an box with a gear set, what can you do for me in terms of products that will last as a temporary fix, but wont cost the world.

Mr. Exedy: What clutch came out of it? What are you using the car for during the temporary period? What power is it making?

Me: It’s my daily currenty, I pulled an OS twin plate out of it to get it rebuilt, makes about 490rwhp but I’ve been keeping the boost down to around 10psi as the clutch was slipping.

Mr. Exedy: Well how much you want to spend?

Me: Not much.

Mr: Exedy: We have a basic single plate that should hold up for a while that’s around $370 and we can send it over to the workshop today.

Me: Sounds good.

------------------------------------------

about 2-3 days later the clutch pulled it's self apart on my way home from a mates house. I had to tow the car home, then tow it to the work shop, pay to have the clutch sent to Exedy to be "looked at".

They wouldn’t have a bar of it, wouldn’t give me another one, wouldn’t pay for the tow truck, and just didn’t wont to know about it. They’re phone monkey gave me the wrong advise, I told him how much power the car had and wanted something as a quick fix, not 2-3days quick. Tell me about clutchs for my power, not sell me a friggin $370 clutch "that should hold up". Your business is clutch's, me the client is going to take your word.

It wasn’t worth going to small claims court, so I just rubbish them on the intraweb

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.

      Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things

      My new to me M35 Stagea wagon

      By davemoto63 · Posted

      Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
