As some of you may know Mel (Datgirl) and I will be teaming up together this week for Targa High Country in the Envy Scooters Holden V8 Ute (yeah, yeah, we know it's not a Skyline, but it's two SAUers running together in a cool car still!)

Read all about it here: Envy Scooters get girl powered for Targa High Country

We'll do our best to keep everyone up-to-date with our progress.

Envy Scooters are also running a competition on their Facebook page which everyone can enter to win an awesome prize. All you have to do is answer this question: Which of the Envy Scooters racecars will finish first and why?

Hint: your answer better include Mel and Kel winning ;)

Congrats again on getting the gig girls! See you up there :)

What's the plan? Drive it smooth and aim for a result or to hell with a result and rip tyres off the thing all the way up Buller and watch the video go viral? :)

Thanks all! The plan at the moment is to follow the 'bring it home in one piece' plan... but I'm sure Datgirl's arm can be easily twisted for a few skids ;)

What may go viral is Mel and I's attempts to look cool on the Envy Scooters the guys are throwing in the back of the ute for us to play around with in our down time. Envy Scooter races down Buller anyone???!!!

Sorry all- we had trouble updating from High Country... maybe we need an app for that ;)

And real life has gotten in the way of posting since coming back to real life!

We had an AMAZING event. Finished (which was the goal) and as a bonus ended up being the first ute home!

We met some interesting people...

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      How would you even adjust the clutch if the pedal already has the correct free play? The operating cylinder has no adjustment in mounting position or rod length. On pull style clutches there is also no ability to adjust the bearing carrier. Push type I can see how adjusting the carrier height makes it all work.   If this is the twin plate clutch did you verify that your friction disks were oriented correctly? It's not mentioned in the directions at all you just have to notice that one side the friction disks have a part number on the hub fingers and a subtle coning to those fingers. Another thing that I noticed was if you put the friction disks in backwards the pressure plate fingers will not be even and flat when the clutch is installed.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      yeah, mechanically, it is probably do-able, off the top of my head, there would be the transfer case, which I believe will bolt up to the rear of the RWD transmission, the shorter rear tail shaft. A front drive shaft, front diff, engine upper sump, front drive shafts, front hubs and front AWD struts (they are shaped around the front drive shafts), LCAs (at the very least from the front suspension) oil cooler.  You might want the rear diff from an AWD too, so you can be certain the front and rear diff rations are identical.  Who knows what brackets and mounts you might need.  So a whole doner car might be the best option if you need to maintain RHD. Then actually making it work, that would be a whole different story.
