eug called his parents and got a lift home, me and eug's g/f went with the towie and waited at his house for him....

I think HYPE's been practising too many of those 5gran lauches

we were talking about a while back....

[Guest | hype^ |]

yes all ... well it had to happen!!!

freezing my a$$ off on the freeway by myself for half and hour after having ur car F@@@ up on ya isnt the best feeling in the world! and seeing like 5 skylines fly past didnt help either!!!

iv been told it may not be the clutch but maybe the driveline..

cos the car starts in gear and the rear wheels spind (when spun by hand) when in gear..

guess ill have to postpone the FMI and take it some where to see whats up..

not impressed at all!!!!

na after i found out the 5K lauches were bad i stopped doin them..

btw thanx ryan for letting me make like 5million phone calls from your phone!!!

[AndyMac]

The car starts in gear ? This would be one of the first things to indicate a blown clutch.

Ummm....sounds like clutch, again, the gearbox would allow the rear wheels to free spin if the clutch was not clamping. interesting..if that was the case the clutch must of destoried itself completely and really badly.

Driveline stuff usually either packs it in over a period of time and you know its coming or it just goes BANG...but you would of surely heard something, or see stuff broken.....

my two cents....

And it does sound like you've been trashing it...5k lanuchs...tisk tisk.....Tryouts for the Fast and Furious 2 ???

[Guest | hype^ |]

geeez good to hear that every1 has so much faith in me.. :shake:

i havent been thrashing it that hard..

and stopped the big launches ages ago..

any1 roughly how much in looking at for a decent clutch??

[XrSiSt]

Be prepared to spend up to 1G

[Blitz]

Hype: UAS sells decent heavy duty clutch upgrades for around $595 exchange, ive ordered an Exeedy clutch, most of the cost is labour, im looking at around $800 fora 6 puck heavy duty unit

[GTR-80Y]

Hard luck Eug, was it the stock clutch? It was just a bit strange that it suddenly went like that. My clutch slipped for a month or so till it finally wouldn't move the car. Was around the corner from the mechanics when it died. My dad towed me in my old pulsar, but i too had badly injurred the clutch in that too, in the end we got to the mechanics with 2 cars and 2 dead clutches.

[Guest | hype^ |]

took it to the mechanic today, he'll look at it tomorrow he said it might even be a f*cked gear box.. in that case im pretty stuffed...

i already bought the intercooler kit i was gonna get fitted..

so im up for a cooler,clutch,bleed valve, boost guage, service and maybe even gear box all in one hiT!!!!!

bah!!!!

yeh that reminds me nick.. if i wanna order a boost guage through uas how long would it take, i need it by friday the latest,

im after the ultra light 2 5/8" to go to 30 psi and 30 vacume

(did that make sence??)

bahaha funny as.. would have been cheaper to call a towie i recon!!... :lol:

yeh as far as i know it was the stock clutch, if so, it did alright lasting nearly 10 years..

hope fully the car will be fixed by next week.. pending on how buzy they are..

then ill be cruzin wit a proper clutch and fmi and more boost

i was pissed i wanted to drag ya.. since both cars are stock!!.. oh well..

[Blitz]

why 30psi?

Get the model number from Rocket Industries and I will order it.

Pm me with what you want

[AndyMac]

Yeah thats what I was thinking ?30 PSI...Like having a speedo with 320 kph on it...no point

A gearbox broke on a standard setup....my limited knowledge is telling me that I doubt that very much unless someone has flat shifted or shifting without the clutch alot....maybe multiple k launchs too...

I'd get a second opinon as well...The gearboxs are suppose to be on standard, even mild to mid setups.

Nick might be able to comment here...

I know the synchros are usually rooted from Jap driving styles, they lean on 4th gear and put pressure on the shifter while driving, also the amount of highways they have, they tend to use 5th alot, which is basically a overdrive gear anyway...so at worst the synrchos would be rooted....

but a broken gearbox on a car with what about 65-68k on it...doubt it

my two cents

[Blitz]

Im no gearbox expert, but the only way you blow a gearbox if thrashing the **** of out of as peak said. Having said that the box could have had issues so user abuse might not be the case. Either way it normally would take some harsh treatment to break.

Good luck getting it all sorted out Eugene....!

get a loan and throw in a trust 6 speed

[Guest | hype^ |]

lol thanx guys. i got a loan for the car..

i dont need more debts..

the guy said it could be from the way it was driven in jap, he gets alot of 180s that ppl have for a few weeks and gear box just goes for np apparent reason..

so whats this rocket industries thing??

i want it to go to 30psi for the same reson that ppl get guages to 2bar instead of 1.5bar..

im thinking ahead...

in that FAR future when i changet the turbo and a sh1t load of other things ill prob. be running more than 20 psi.. i hate doing things twice!

thats,,

[AndyMac]

To tune a R33GTS-t to run boost safely at 20+psi, I rekon you'd almost be able to get a R32 GTR, if you used the money spendt on mods plus the sale of your car.

After Computer, headgasket, clutch, intercooler, injectors, fuel pump and regulator, oil cooler, oil catch can.......uuummm the list would be endless.

Don't get me wrong, it'll be an awsome piece of work...but perfer a GTR....I know you said "FAR" into the future...But I was going to do the same...holding back until I get the cash saved for the GTR.

I'm not even buying mags for my R33....just want that GTR.

[Guest | hype^ |]

bahaha... u know whats so funny peak...

i was gonna buy that VERY SAME car... but i couldnt get all the money togethter..

they were only askin like 32K...

by the way they changed the rims over on that car.. its got 3spoke's now..

good luck with it.

hmm, my thoughts too. These boxes are tough as nails. If you have destroyed it.....WOW!!

[AndyMac]

Nah...I'm waiting till I have enough cash saved to buy a R32GTR outright, maybe end this year to mid next year.

Then I can sell the R33 GTS-t and use the cash off the sale of that for Mods and Full Comprehensive Insurance (with all mods listed too).
