Ahh true, apple pretty much has a monopoly when it comes to audio hardware and apps - mainly due to MS re-inventing the wheel (drivers) each time.

I used to have a C-port DSP24 (CPort 2000) which only had ASIO drivers for Win2k. Was great until I tried to install it on vista. Didn't like it. Eventually someone hacked the drivers to work under XP but they certainly don't run under Win7 - which is great, a $1000 soundcard that doesnt work because the manufacturers are too pov to write new drivers...

-D

Ben, have you tried the generic ASIO driver? I haven't tried it in Win 7 so I'm not sure it will work.

nice 1 Josh

Mitch - expect to pay $550 + 30 shipping for the NPC 5puk cushioned button clutch its rated to 350rwkw or about 330awkw and 1200kg pressure plate

I'm organising a couple soon so if in 4 weeks all you guys are ready to order would make NPC's day :(

this is how he makes the clutch

The pressure plate I use is a standard Exedy cover that is pulled down and fitted with the same diapghragm spring nismo uses in some of their pressure plates. I then modify the Exedy pressure

plate to suit a 5 puk sprung center disc that I make using a 4.2 ltr patrol clutch plate.

>>original group buy #2<<

I think sau management should organise a private track day, for sliding.

k go

Gee, you guys are a hard bunch to please :(

We're looking into a few avenues of "fun" for the club :wub:

im interested in how this drives compared to the stock clutch... is it more/less firm, has more/less travel etc... looks like a sure bargain for $580

wont be requiring one for quite some time but you've piqued my interest

-D

the closest I've driven with the exedy pressure plate is Marks GTR and that was very nice to drive some might say too stiff but i like a heavy pedal

as this uses the same pressure plate I'm sure it will feel the same

i have bought braided lines and the nismo big resi as well that will soften the pedal but hopefully not too much

whats that? nismo master clutch cylinder or whatever? will be a long while before I need to change clutch/gearbox/etc but definately keeping my ears open for what folks are doing

last firm clutch I drove was dion's when I was moving his car at loxton - much firmer than stock

And to the not so literate PC user, go ahead with the updates and you'll end up with Safari, Bonjour and all sorts of other apple shit. I refuse to install iTunes on my new PC!

even the biggest computer retard can see the little box next to safari and bonjour, and then click them off so that the only update they receive is for itunes. and if you fail to do that, even my alzheimers suffering 80 year old grandmother knows how to remove software.

and for my weigh on the apple/windows debate.

im not a fan on iphones, no particular reason, just that every f**k nut and their dog owns one and talks relentlessly about how awesome it is. i heard about and got over iphones in the space of 3.45 seconds.

as for apple computers, love em. even the low end g4's worked better with photoshop and other editing suites than my current reasonably powerful windows laptop.

ill agree that itunes is garbage though. if it werent for my ipod, i wouldnt have it. speaking of my ipod, its the first 80gb 'classic' that went on sale 4 or so years ago, its been dropped on all manner of surfaces, stepped on, left out in 45+ degree sun for a day, has probably racked up thousands of hours of use, and buried and sand, and the f**kers still kicking, the only problems i experience are occasional sync errors when i plug it in to the computer (solved by resetting the ipod), and a slightly shortened battery life caused by the amount of use its had.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
