Yeah I wouldn't do a clutch myself, I've spoken to a few places and got a quote for $1206 for a stock replacement clutch and labor. Not looking good

Lol, I could probably do it for half that, but doesn't come with warranty (I'm not a workshop).

I just done a gearbox in my car this week. I wouldn't say it's that difficult unless your doing it by yourself. Having a second person does make it so much quicker and easier but I've done it solo a few times.

Hmm, I would expect the quote to be around $800.

It should take a workshop around 3 hours to change a clutch (if I had a workshop it would only take 1 hour). So that'll be 3 hours x $120 (I think that's what they charge these days), so $360 for labour. An excedy HD clutch kit at trade would be around $300-$350 and $70 to have the flywheel machine. Add $20 for oil, which should total around $750-$800.

Anyway, PM me your number, if I'm close by Weston I'll ring you and take a look.

And most of my work is done on dirt. I use a few bricks and wooden planks, ramps, etc. All but one of my engine swaps were completed on dirt.

3 hours? damn I was told 5... how come it would only take you 1?

sent you my number in a pm in the afternoon

Of pull clutches on wrx's not sure how different they are but with them you take out the fork that actuates the clutch which is just a big bolt and then it's just like normal. The throw out bearing Is clipped in to the pressure plate fingers and u can't get it out.

I wonder what they are doing for 5 hours. It would only take me 1 hour if I had a workshop, because I would be setup to change Nissan RWD gearboxes (the only thing I currently own). I've done it many times that I know what to do.

I would be pushing it to do a 1 hour change on dirt. It would be closer to 3 hours if i had to get it done.

That Exedy is what's been in my car since just before I bought it. I think the receipt was dated March 2009, so we're getting on towards 3 years of use - just over 1 year of which has been at ~295rwkw.

I've slipped it badly a few times though, stunk like shit for hours hahaha. My bad.

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
