I did left alot of factors relating to my decision unnoted which I guess set me up for the above responses and in turn admittedly did make me look like somewhat of a d*ck :laugh:

I merely tried stating that all my funds are exhausted at the moment and will be as at this point in time there are other critical things which require my urgent financial attention to attend to so as little as $3000 for a clutch may seem to some of you I can assure you at this very point in time for me it is not

3k is alot- Thats 6 weeks wages for me atm- But in perspective to 80k it really it nothing.

Get your priorites sorted first- if other thigns are that important and you dont have the fudns atm then the answer is black and white

Wait till your back on your feet and have the money to throw around

Josh stop posting pictures, you know i can't see them on my work computer and i want to laugh at them but they are little square boxes with a red X in it :(

My bad.

:fakenopic:

Get someone at work to perform some :mage: and see epic pics.

My question is

A) how did you have the motor forged and not know what clutch is in it ?

B) why wasn't the clutch checked/replaced whilst the motor was being forged?

In answer to the op keep it fix it enjoy it ! It will be hard to find a car that you will enjoy as much as a 34R but as with any car if you drive it hard be prepared to pay !

Lol I actually inherited one ! One owner 120k on the clock in old man gold ! With original 14 inch steelies with hub caps still attached . That is a hard car to compete with

Thats a good question.

Basically the reason motor was forged was that the oil pump let go around the same time I had to finalise all my Vegas trip funds last year.

This obv meant motor out job = alot of money. Long story short I cancelled my Vegas holiday, spent a bunch of money at workshop after the motor came out in order to carry out the necessary work (at the same time done other things like sump, camshafts, fuel pump, powerfc as the car was still at the workshop along with a huge a$$ list of other stuff).

Knowing my luck at the time certain financial circumstances were changed and I had no time and money to spare to continually add bits and pieces to the car as I went. I ordered the motor back together ASAP as I just wanted the car on the road and couldn't afford to put any more into it at the time. As a result the clutch was completely over looked however the workshop had stated its a Nismo of some sort which made me sleep abit easier for the time being

Need some 12 slotters for it?

Sitting in the rents backyard.

Doing SFA.

Thanks for the offer would have taken you up on it but donated the car to tafe a long time ago. Bit sad as a xr6t motor would have slotted nicely in it !

As for op I know what's done is done but clutch should have been amongst the top of the "to do list" so now you have to fix something you should have already done . Fit nismo twin and enjoy !

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
