my clutch is Helix Dual Plate Organic clutch so i think the clutch itself is ok and if you smash the gearchanges its fine

it only seems to happen when i granny shift (not double clutchin' like YA SUPPOSED TO)

You would think that

I would... and i'm right

yeah thanks, it kinda makes sense - ive got stock seats and std seat positon

i dont feel that the seating position is too high (at least, it seems OK)

but i swear, its as if i dont take my foot of the accel pedal enough (or properly) so its ever so slighty during gearchange, which makes it almost free-rev after clutch in/out

ill do a drive on saturday and log it and see what the logs show, it should show TPS not dropping to 0.30v if my thinking is correct on gearchange

very odd

is there a company who makes the brackets or did you do it yourself?

ay-ay-ron and I both bought them from the same place... some company in the USA... cant remember the name, I found it on the evolutionoz forums

I find one of the most annoying things is the car revs out slowly and drops revs equally slowly... it feels like the flywheel weighs 200kg

I didn't install the clutch, so i'm guessing tis' the stock flywheel

dont plan on building anything.....

just asking if hamish had heard of wierd clutch issues like i described

turns out yeah there might be some background to it, so maybe seat position is part of it

Seating position I lowered with brackets that bolt onto the stock rails. Now i see why you were saying you couldn't see the speedo, it's cos you have the stock seating position.

Stock seat height in evo's is TERRIBLE... It might as well be mounted on the roof for how high you are. Brackets will drop you close to 2"

Clutch wise, who knows... I have an HKS single plate so it's either on or off lol

I never had an issue with seat height...... dat short lyfe

Are evos designed for smaller statured folk like myself?

pretty much, well the jdm ones are anyway

adm have different seat bolsters to fit the bigger build

which one? he apparently made 3

his was the silver, there was a pink one roaming around echuca I think and a 3rd up north blue off the top of my head

From what I saw the pink vl from Echuca was only rwd rb30 but with a 26 head and twins on it, poss a different car, but that was about 10 years ago.

I remember hearing about the 4wd vl back when I was in school ( and that's a f**ken long time ago).

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
