they cant of bent the clutch plates letting the box hang off it.........

Well that's great to hear. :)

I played with adjustment on the weekend and the fork is going as far as it can from the pedal from what we can see, 45mm is it. I bled the clutch on the weekend and it made a big difference. They didn't even do that. :P Pretty great service for $159/hour. I get the feeling the workshop didn't remove the clutch the second time at all.

Either way my car has a blown turbo so that needs to be fixed too.

I think it was a question, not a statement.

It is extremely likely the plate has been bent by hanging the box off it. It will also cause the exact same symptoms you are describing.

Yeah it seems like there is only mm in it. I can also hear the throw out whining just a tiny bit as you press the clutch, then it slow down after a long time and you can engage the gear easier - but sometimes it just seems to never stop.

Given the ducking and diving, complaining and digging for excuses before I even knew what was up that the Toyota apprentice who installed it did when I arrived the first time to pick it up, I would not at all be surprised. Let alone the lack of things done and the condition other parts of the car were in (stereo, interior trim, black marks on the mats, fluid not bled) and the 40mins waiting I did each time I went to pick it up. All for a brilliant price of only $159/hour.

Unfortunately (for them) a lot of people on here go to and recommend the same place. I will give the owner 8/10 for his sales ability and his talking skills, giving the aura of professionalism and charging accordingly that's for sure! Shame there is f**k all to back it up by way of service.

Holy jesus!

$159/hour?

I don't even think Nissan charge that high. How can they justify that much? I do clutch installs on GTR's for $308 which works out to be 3.5hrs at $88/hour. I could get away with maybe $100-$110/hour but that's kinda ridiculous for grease monkey work. If it were for diagnostics using expensive equipment or dyno tuning where the dyno costs have to be factored in, you could understand.

I hope you can get it sorted out mate, for $159/hour I would expect there to be a decent warranty policy involved.

Mate let me tell you my eyes fell out of my head. It cost me $972 all up. I was told it was a massive job and quoted $780, part of the reason I didn't attempt it myself. By far the greatest rip off I have ever come across having owned 30 performance cars over the past 8 or 9 years.

The issue is that I supplied the clutch, which was brand new from Japan. They have therefore blamed the thing they did not supply and charged me like a wounded bull. I am now in a difficult position.

Do I take it elsewhere and have the box removed to see what they have or haven't done? And then put the potentially f**ked clutch back in or pay another $2+k for another one? Either way it costs me big dollars.

LOL, I should scan the offending invoice for a laugh!

Bit of an update.

I've taken the car elsewhere and the speculation was that if the plate was bent badly it would shudder more than it does, that or the scopot has been stuff on installation, or the throw out is incorrect or incorrectly installed. He suggested a drive it for a while and see how it goes before I take it back to them.

The clutch is 100% better now, sometimes showing no issues. Before it really had to be forced into gear and the car would creep - sometimes it's a hard to get in (and you can hear it 'wind' down but still spin as it carries a little), but other times it's 100% with no issues.

I have noticed that the throw out bearing has begun to whine a little more noticeably, is this something to do with what's happening? :)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
