Np, I lost that thread and couldn't find it for awhile, by then i'd missed too many months and just disregarded it.

My 2004 List:

* Get a set of track rims with semi-slicks or full slicks.

* Fix front bar for better FMIC airflow.

Id be hoping to chase down a Cerbera, last year when i was over there you could get one for $17,000 pound. (approx 97 model) So hoping i can get a late model, say 2000 for about $20,000 pound.

That said Escort Cosworths (i dont like 4wds so would want to be a good buy) go for $10-14000 pound modified but so do '92 911 Porsches, and Sierra's vary a bit due to age and mods.

All depends on the job and the amount of travelling i do :D , might end up with a Vauxhall Nova :D

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.

      Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?
