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

    • What are you doing with the car? Drags, sprints, racing? A decent upgrade of dba 4000 rotors, good quality pads (endless, project mu, intima are all I have used), quality fluid and braided lines. All have held up to multiple big track days and street duties. No need for big fancy kits as some also require significant energy to come upto operating temp. Look at 350z caliper and rotor upgrade too.  @Dose Pipe Sutututu comment on them and did a good write up.
    • I've driven that one and it's a great deal and drives nice. The owner definitely treats it right on track. You would have gotten it for what you paid for this one too.   Keen to see what you do to this one. 
    • I have a question with regards to R34 GTR guards. All the info here is quite old. Useful, but old. At what point does the bumper itself become a clearance issue with wide wheels on a R34 GTR, specifically the part I've drawn in red here: All of the info that people post about implies that 285 is as far as you'd go before scrubbing becomes an issue, but they speak of hitting the inner plastic liners, not the bumper itself. Just how wide could you go if you took the liners out? Has anyone done it? I have been messing with my own car and spacers and heavily cursed my lack of planning, but I might not feel so bad if there's actually no gains to be had by going a GTR guard and front bar combination for $5k+ of money I do not have after spending about that much already on my solution which now has problems. (Woo) At least I now know why GTR guards and bumpers flare out like this over their GTT lesser cousins. I feel that in 2024, someone has gone further and attempted to run 315's or somesuch on the front of a R34 GTR. If you have, please post. If you're tried and failed for some other reason definitely post so I feel better about my mistakes
    • Genuine URAS Type R front guards in FRP. These will fit a GTT. They will only fit a GTT. If you have a GT or GTT and want wider fenders with a Z tune look up top, this is what you want. You use this with a regular GTT fitment bar. Not a GTR bar. They fit GTT guard liners and plastics, not GTR items. So if you're reading this thinking "Ah! I have a GTT or GT and want wider front guards that bolt directly on, but do not want the hassle of changing my bonnet and bumper and plastics and undertrays or anything else, this is what you want. The fitment is annoyingly perfect. I really would rather someone pick these up in person and not ship them. SE Melb.
