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

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

      They did get back to me. First response is from the mechanic that did the work. The problem is that the information that followed wasn't in the original report, which again, I let car inspect know should have been provided and influenced my decision to buy. Ball is back in their court and they have 5 more days to respond.  The actual structural damage was not a complete write off as they had me originally believe.  It just needed to be corrected properly and cleanly as opposed to the botch job of whoever did it last on the rad support and undercarriage. Smoothed out the scrappy welds and did it properly plus painted.

      Haven't updated this is a while. -5 speed conversion is done. Then center console, parking brake handle, and mounting bracket can be adapted from a R34 since the S2 parts are all disco. Console is a slightly different grain pattern and color but works fine. R33/ R34 GTS (no booster) clutch pedal works as well as the matching master cylinder. Wiring is simple, jump the starter connector at the fuse box, note which wires are connected at which position on the auto neutral safety switch and cut off the switch harness and connect to the corresponding switch on the 5 speed. -Rear R34 rear subframe swap is completed. Full Nismo arm set, 2-way LSD set up soft, 322mm Brembo brakes, Ohlins Flag-R coil overs (need to drop the spring rate 1Kg) -RB swap is under way. HKS Step 2 High Response 2.8 BCD stroker kit / Step 2 V-Cam / GTIII 4R Kit I may not use the 4R kit but not sure yet as I've seen some pretty decent dyno sheets on it and it doesn't spool as slow as people think when you have v-cam. I have the wiring manual for the car and a spare 260RS harness so the wiring shouldn't be that bad but I just haven't had the time to invest in it. If anyone has a suggestion for someone who can handle it let me know! I have a bunch of spare 5mt swap parts and some Nismo 580 turbos if anyone needs/wants them hit me up. Located in California but willing to ship. As always, thanks to all the members who have answered my questions and helped this project keep moving!

      Did Car Inspect get back to you? How bad was the actual "structural" damage? What front surgery was required?

      I was thinking of setting up a multiplayer comp. Just a series that anybody could join and we could run a table here.  Anybody interested in that?
