13.7 and a F#cked clutch!!

[Hicks]

Yep, as the thread title suggests, I f#cked my clutch.

The day started off pretty good with some low 14's and high 13's.

Then I managed to pull a 13.7, my new best!!

But then, due to peer presure I entered the burnout comp to show the front wheel drive panzies how its done. My car was smokin up but it wasn't my tyres.

I made it about 50 metres up rockingham road before my car just stopped.

My old man just tow'd me home in his jag.

I ain't too pleased, but I got my 13.74!!

[bully]

shit u only got up the road i knew i should have followed u or gave u my mobile soz man

Hicks,

I'm sure I've told you before that jap cars aren't designed to do burnouts, leave that to the V8 boys, there cars are only good for burnouts.

I am sorry that you stuffed your clutch but it shouldn't be too expensive to fix, I think you can get the factory one fixed for about $250 at the Clutch Factory.

If your after a stronger clutch, as this will likely happen again with the new power, then I can get you a twin-plate or heavy duty clutch pretty cheap.

The old clutch burnout would have really impressed the V8 guys, they were probably having a good chuckle at your expense.

Consider this an expensive lesson in how to treat your car. I guess I won't be racing you on Wednesday night then!

See'ya:burnout:

[Hicks]

I don't want a shitty stock one again.

How much can you get me a twin plate for??

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Well that's the right attitude, normally people blow 2 or 3 factory clutches before making the decision to move, which I'm sure Macka will have to do soon aswell. I'll ring my mate on Monday, I know he has a Nismo 5-puck at the moment, which might be enough for your car, but I'll find out which twins he has and the price.

I'd suggest you sell that flash stereo you bought and go for a decent clutch, your bound to have more fun with that.

See'ya:burnout:

[Hicks]

Yeah maybe.

I'm suprised macka's is still alive!!

Just been outside, my car still stinks of it.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Yeah I did the same thing to mine, without the burnout of course, and it definately does stink. I was joking about selling the stereo.

A factory one repaired would let you limp around for a bit longer, but you wouldn't want to race the car too hard. It depends on whether you can get the funds, maybe an early Christmas present from the folks?

See'ya:burnout:

[Hicks]

I doubt it.

It was ****ed today before the burnout, the burnout just put it out of its mysery. If I didn't do it, I doubt it would of lasted the drive home.

Oh well, Shit happens.:whackit: (im aware this has nothing to do with anything, but its f#ckin funny!)

[GTS-t VSPEC]

It would be funnier if Pva_glue was on the other end, performing his 2nd job. I don't think you'll be able to afford him now, and you might need a 2nd job to pay for the clutch.

See'ya:burnout:

[Hicks]

:shake: :whackit:

[GTS-t VSPEC]

I hope your girlfriend doesn't read this forum, you sick puppy!

See'ya

$830 or there abouts depending on your exhaust setup for Ross @ Perth Autoclutch to put in a 2500pound pressure plate and 9 finger clutch plate. If you want to see pics of it, find rev210's post about his ogura flywheel as he put the same clutch in as well with his new flywheel. Works great, no slip, just a bit stiffer to drive.

Autoclutch is the place to go for a new clutch mate.

I have the 9 button ceramic clutch and I kept my old stock pressure plate.

The take up is lovely for a button clutch, I've never seen anything like it! As usual (for button clutches) the clutch friction point is closer to the floor but it feels as soft as the stocker without the slippage.

[Hicks]

no worries i'll have to look into that.

As long is it ain't gonna die on me with another 50 so HP.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Rev210,

Your clutch sounds good, how much was it, what was the cost of fitting and what horsepower can it support?

See'ya:burnout:

[rob77]

No it wont, its rated to around 450 or 500HP.

Rob

[Hicks]

Rev210, How much did you pay??

Do you have a photo?

[rob77]

Hicks... do you not read or understand english? As I said in a previous post for photo's do a search on the rev210 thread about his ogura flywheel and it has a photo of the clutch plate. I think if you buy the plate off ross @ autoclutch its about $350.

[Hicks]

English???

me nien speka da english.....
