Thought i may aswell post some photos i took from in the car while driving up the mountian..

i did get asked to pull over to put on chains by some woman waving a stick. once pulled over i told the guy it was 4wd.. or awd as i took off (not in snow mode) it gave a good spin, i think the guy loved it..

now for the photos...

So jealous!! I was meant to go down for the weekend - so there would have been another M35 up in the mountains, but had to bail with too much work on!

I went to Niseko, Japan early this year and had the best snow of my life! So im hanging to hit some more pow!

We will have to make it a M35 convoy one weekend. I will be doing a few weekends from late July through to October.

I know there is another m35 (blue one from memory) traveling down to the mountains. Saw it last year just south of Bredbo.

Cheers

Andy

You for got your tag line.... "will F#@k for parts" LOL

It is so much fun in a frozen car parts. Much harder to do it these days as they are all serious now and no fun is allowed.

      Yet another clutch question

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Maybe Josh could and should look at that UniClutch thingo too. The street twin one would take the power he's talking about easily. Light action and no noise.

      Yet another clutch question

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Man, clutch feel is so subjective. I moved to the Nismo Twin from a heavy single plate NPC Heavy Duty Organic and it is sooo much better to drive in everyday traffic. A heavy clutch pedal is the worst here. The Nismo is light enough I don't even think about it. But with the heavy clutch in traffic I was aware of every time I had to push the pedal. In terms of being grabby I would describe it like this: - A normal clutch has ~10cm of clutch pedal travel between initial bite point and clutch fully gripping - With the Nismo twin plate it's ~4cm of clutch pedal travel for the same From what I understand that's normal for multi-plate clutches. Maybe the Nismo is more forgiving than others, don't know. It's not punishing but you have to get used to it. My driving is 80% city and no issues there. Smooth to take off and change gears. Hill starts are mostly fine. It is a bit of a pain for reversing on an incline. I find it hard to get the right amount of clutch slip for that and always end up feeling like I'm burning it too much. But, you may have a very different experience based on your body type and footwear. With heavy boots or shoes it's likely going to be pretty shit. Just because the clutch is light and the boots don't give enough feel to let the clutch pedal out with precision. Might be similar if you are a big guy or have motor control issues. But able-bodied and driving with decent shoes it feels great. You don't mention noise at all. It does chatter at idle RPM when it gets warm. Nothing that is out of place in a GTR though IMO.

      15-20k for the 8hp would be a much smaller loss lol.
