well if your think machining way to much off a flywheel causing low clamping pressure of one for starters

broken pivot rings in a pressure plate supposed to be a modified reco unit

and the pressure rating of a R32 GTR clutch pressure plate being less than a std one even though u have paid for a tougher plate being done twice and still slips with either a brass button or even a normal generic plate and asking them if they checked the clamping pressure to be told we check every1

i'd say I got sumthing to complain about

is that elaborate enough 4 you lol

you try taking out GTR gboxs out twice too many times lol

as far as I know it's against forum rules to publically write off a company (has to be done by pm)

don't mean anything by this (I'm no thread-captain), and if I'm wrong then sorry, just trying to keep you out of trouble with the moderators that's all ;)

can't remember if it was you or not fabian, but did you sort out that problem between you and rach about who crashed into who from a couple of months back..? :burnout:

And I have had 5x clutches off Ross in my various GTR's , 300zx's and Wrx's and all good.

BTW , it was me who told all you guys about him and I haven't heard a complaint back yet.

Use one of his purple plate sprung centred button ones and they grip mint, are light and don't shudder.

went today @ lunchbreak. mate chose the organic one with 2500 pressure clamp. this was based purely on his budget, hopefully it will work out alright

yeh i got a 5puck daiken from clutch factory in welshpool, it shudders and is a bitch to drive however this is apparently what happens to all 5pucks, so i cant complain about clutch factory

Only if they are not on a waved centre plate like the one Ross sells. As I said , mine are button( or as you call it , puck ) and so is Mikeys ( cos I fitted it ) and they don't shudder.

ive spoken to quite a few people and its supposed to be normal so im not stressed. speaking to ross today i told him about my clutch as my mate didnt want one which drove like that. he said its normal for them to shudder slightly in 1st and reverse when riding out the clutch and for that reason he doesnt recomend them

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      gauge needle removal

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.

      R34 Speedo not working after manual swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder

      Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
