still not working. put the nismo slave back on and it has throw but not enough to disengage....spoke to anthony from maztech and he said this happens all the time with these clutches. FFFSSS!

so back on goes the 1-1 slave heavy but hopefully this gives that extra bit of throw i need to push in this bad boy...

Sorry for the resurrection but it hasn't been dead for that long.. :P

Anyone know where I can source one of these smaller diameter release bearings/carriers? or have a part number?

Cheers!

Direct from nissan.

Nope still didnt fix the throw problem. have full throw of the slave and it still does not disengage this POS clutch. Now i have to go back to spacing out the Pivot ball to bring it 10mm closer again....hopefully without having to remove the gearbox/engine again... but from past experience i may have to. Possibly look at cutting a hole in the side of the box and retigging it back up when its done...

so i tried spacing the pivot ball and this did not help the clutch now goes into gear but still has issues with the wheels turning while the clutch is in.

anybody with an idea care to give me a clue?

Lesson to be learnt from all of this is DO NOT BUY A CLUTCH FROM DCA /Direct Clutch. I ended up sending mine to NPC to asses and let me know what was wrong with it. Apparently the Pressure plate was wrong the teeth were over extending causing the rivets to wear and come loose making it harder to disengage. So i had them fix it for me cost $160 lol.

So now engine is out again and im finally going to get this to work (i gave up on it and went a jap clutch threw it in and it worked straight away) but now i want to push some decent power i need the twin plate

So they have sent it back and asked me to do the following

Measure bearing to bell housing outer currently sitting at - 80mm

Then measure ring gear to top of clutch. - 85mm

Ive also taken a few other measurements like back of engine to top of clutch/teeth when tightened - 75mm

So i'll give the guys at NPC a call today with these details and im sure they will tell me i'll need to buy a new bearing carrier X length so i have X amount of throw for it to work.

Will update this thread once i call them and give them the details.

And for the person who said are the plates backward LOL no they will only fit one way and then on top of that they have stickers saying to flywheel to pressureplate etc. so yeah ive had this thing apart and back together that many times its retarded. i even swapped it for a rb25 box and the guy also had problems with a stock setup so i knew then it wasnt just my setup causing this so gave the box back and now im here again lol

Ok so ive spoken to Doug at NPC and he asked for the following

Bearing Carrier to bellhousing length is 80mm (70mm +10mm for adaptor plate)

Clutch from Block to face - 88mm

Teeth to clutch is 10mm

So we have a throw of 2mm. He told me it needs to have at least 6mm. But suggested i get a bearing carrier 6mm shorter than the one i have atm giving us a throw of 8mm.

Edited by xris

So going by these part numbers i'll measure the one i have atm and get the one 6mm (or closest) to that size.

30501-A3800 12mm,

30501-N1601 14mm,

30501-U0200 16mm,

30501-S0200 18mm,

30501-B6000 20mm,

30501-S0160 22mm,

30501-K0404 24mm,

30501-K0510 26mm,

30501-N1600 28mm,

30501-N8400 30mm

So here ends my dcs clutch. worked with the above 6-8mm of throw for 1 lap then the twin plate sound went away. (and yes i had 8mm of throw on the clutch so it didnt over extend)

think i found out why......

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
