You are easily pleased then. f**ked if I'd pay over $1000 for a second hand POS clutch that may or may not explode at any time.

Can build and sell retail the EXACT same thing for half the price using all new parts.

Astro:

And 3 puk? WTF were you thinking? I hope you don't care about ya neck

explain sir?

hmmmm... looks like I've missed nothing so far...

*scampers back into the shadows**

hahah its a bit like that for me today

Careful tristan The Jewish are after you!

i cant think of a jew without thinking about borat hahah

politically incorrect, but hilarious

explain sir?

Have you ever driven on a 3 puk button clutch before?

What is the car being used for? And how much power does it make/will it be making?

Racist much?

hand over the jew gold, kyle

Side note : Did i tell you's that if i can get enough donations I will be growing a hitler still moustache for movember... but I might call it a chaplin... not sure the jury is out on that one.

nope i havnt, car should be making around 220kw-ish + if everything goes sweet, used as a dori machine

Then a 3puk clutch is a poor choice. Whoever advised you on this needs educating.

You may end up liking it but it is EXTREMELY harsh on driveline stuff. Say goodbye do diff, gearbox and universal joints. You'll jolt your neck every time you take off but it'll kick nicely for drifting. But then again, so will a 5 or 6 puk button clutch but it won't be as hard on everything.

3 puk should be good to hold 350+rwkw, 6puk at 300rwkw and 5puk at 350rwkw.

So basically the wrong clutch for the job

Plus when the clutch wears out you will need a new flywheel. Because from all the clutch riding you are going to be doing while you drive it on the street, it will machine a large deep groove in the flywheel.

I've got 5 minutes spare if you want some lessons. Hmm, on second thought, might need a decade.

I was happy.. Knowing what happened with Noel and knowing what really goes on after reading about parts, not so happy. I was a lucky one. Back in 02/03 when the clutch was bought there wasnt really a huge aray to pick from.. Started with an OS twin plate, shagged it. JB worked, heh.

Not easily pleased, you know this.

you raise a very good point, i didnt take into account my drive line ;)

oh dear :(

I just assumed from the car you drive.

Oops did I say that out loud

Im pleased that car runs. Im a slave to offset. It's in keeping with mud crabs and so forth I guess.

That car now is in better mech nic then half the shit boxes on car sales :(

And just to clear up what I believe Taz is getting at:

I don't give two flying rats arses who sells you a clutch, installs your clutch or whatever....I am here for advice only, not to pick up work.

I fit around 30 or so clutches a year to Skylines and silvias and have done for the last 6 years. Just telling you how it is.

All my cars have had button clutches fitted so I know what it's like to drive them. I have sold and fitted many to others and can tell you it's hard enough satisfying people with a 6puk clutch (which is AT LEAST twice as easy to drive than a 3puk) when they have never driven on them before. There is only two reasons for needing to go button in the first place.

1: The car makes more than 300rwkw

2: Drifting

Why can I never get a bite out of you? You wanna have sex with me don't you?

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
