Hornsby are open till 12 on Saturday.

Parramatta I think are open Saturday morning also.

lol.. too late Paul, I got all my schizlle from Kudos. Got delivered within 2 days of ordering.

You bored on Sat? drop by LOL..

If I have a spare hour or do I will! :).

What a mission, only just got the box back on with 2 guys helpin, the car is also on massive 4WD ramps and 2x jackstands lol.

Turns out the clutch plate in there is still good, some piece of shit PBR clutch. I'm guessing the pressure plate is gone because of the uneven wear on the clutch plate hence thr total slippage.

Found a machining place $48 for flywheel, 30min wait.

Got about 600kms on my carbotic now and it feels great..rollin at 100 drop it back to 3rd and punch the gas .. Drop the clutch and it bites, HARD!!..

I actually felt sympathetic for the rest of my drivetrain ...

probably wouldnt do that too much... 3rd gear will strip in no time

ive blown 3rd twice now.. but i do drift mine competitively and its always on a clucth kick that it blows 3rd...

yep Ok :thumbsup:

I only did it once actually, just wanted to see how it handled it as the old one would slip a fair bit.. this one just "Thuds" into gear...

with the extra torque and e85 now, I rarely have to drop it back gears to get it moving anyway, just squeeze the gas, count 1 hippopotamus and its off...:D

I got mine back together today, last time i do a clutch on ramps and stands.

How is the pedal feel on yours? I think i might need to bleed the clutch fluid, feels like im pushing air.

I just got it done around lunch time, hopped into the car and I seriously thought I fked something. IT IS SO SOFT!!!!!!!

I honestly thought I didn't put the fork & pivot on properly, so I started the car and put it into gear, to my surprise everything was working!

You're right, feels like you're pushing air lol

haha awesome. I know people said it feels like a stock clutch but i was still expecting some fight, Its going to take some getting used to.

I know, it feels like the car is broken lol.. I've used GT-R Exedy clutches in my previous R33 and they were heavy as a pile of bricks, even with a larger Nismo slave. Let's see how this NPC clutch holds up. This car is stock atm, but that's going to change soon lol.

probably wouldnt do that too much... 3rd gear will strip in no time

Was that a 34 box? I better stop doing that then :domokun:

Nice work Johnny!

It's not pretty Purple like mine :P

And my pedal felt alot softer with the NPC then the Exedy cushion button. Bites like a bitch, I'll always suggest an NPC to anyone who needs one

Yeah the NPC feels as if it's broken, it's so light for a sports/race/enthusiast clutch. I honestly thought the fork slipped off the thrush bearing and I was shtting bricks.

So far it's pretty good, unfortunately the R33 I own now is stock (for now) so I can't really punish the clutch.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
