okay, one word answer...

after slipping once like that and making a fart like smell...

is my clutch on its way out any time soon?

Yep.

It's done well though because 120,000kms is excellent for a standard clutch to last . Plus no doubt a few kms have been with higher power levels too.

Drive like nanna.

Save for new clutch.

Easy.

that's actually not that expensive, thought it would be a bit more...

what's the labour like for a new clutch install...?

man, if i get a new clutch it's going to give me the modifying bug again which is something i don't really want lol not again!!!

I'd take the smelling clutch as signs of the clutch going ;)

mine went recently

i got the 5 puck brass button from slide :D

installed it myself at home (not suggested) lifting the box back into the car was a pain on the arms lol

When mine went it was barely drivable and with my luck i was in balga somewhere dropping a friend off :)

i live south of the river :D never has it taken me so long to get home haha

I'd suggest changing the clutch asap

hhrrmm....

drove a little today, no problems... guess i'll have to wait and see what the near future brings...

if it brings a time where a new clutch is necessary i'm afraid i'll have to go for the 400hp+ club dream...

*shakes head* i don't want to dddddooooo it lol

Just had my clutch done. clutch was $500 and is rated up to 450hp, fitting was $300 + $45 to machine the flywheel. pretty good deal if you ask me.

Had it done at Auto Clutch in osborne park. 9244 4496

I would also suggest maybe spraying some deoderant in your car... might help with the smell? lol

LOL Ben thanks for the heads up, that price seems very reasonable, will keep that in mind and save the number...

in regards to the smell, it's long gone, was only there for the 10-20 minutes after i gave it serious juice

not a problem since so i'm assuming my clutch is still going good, i know at least 3 other guys with GTT's with standard clutches with as many km's as my car and their clutches seem to be fine too...

i'm not convinced that my clutch will go anytime soon at all

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
