Underneath the dash just on top of the clutch there is a bracket that holds the clutch. When i push the clutch in you can actually see it moving is this a big problem? Can somebody plz look and see if there bracket moves or is mine screwed? And whats that bracket called, i need to source a new one and is it hard to change do i need to remove the whole dash? Im told beacuase I have a heavy duty clutch thats why it came loose to much stress. And would anybody have an average price on what its worth.

Same here. I have a heavy twin plate and it ended up mangling the bracket so far the clutch pedal sat on the fire wall and I had to pull it up with my foot first to press the clutch in.

Apparently a common prob with heavy pedal effort clutches.

Not sure with your car but with the HR31 its made from thin metal with just a few spot welds here and there. Got another one out of a Pintara and it was welded up properley with extra plate steel reinforcement. I would just get one in good nick from a wrecker and reinforce it as it will only happen again.

The dash didnt "have" to come out but it was of those " get out you f@cking little c@nt of a thing" type of jobs.

It's a common occurance, I have broken the one in the R32GTST race car. It has an OS Giken twin plate in it, so not excessively heavy. Broke through the spot welds. The first sign was long pedal, needed to be depressed further to declutch. It just got slowly worse until no clutch.

Not only is it hard to get out, it is efen uncomfortable lying upside down, with the steering wheel in your crutch, the seat base in your crack, your feet on the head rest and your head under the brake pedal. Talk about rush of blood to the brain.....:headspin:

yer mine snapped as i pulled into work....luckily.

Looking back i replaced the clutch master cylinder, and the pedal was squeeking inside the car. Thought nothing of it. Clutch then seemed to play up now and then in car parks, thought nothing of it. Then i remember some clunky gearchanges, thought it was the gb cos it needs bearings.

Then as i pulled into work, i heard a small pop. Then 2 seconds later, it popped again and the clutch went to the floor. :D

Now i got a new clutch pedal box sitting here ready to go in. I was going to make a new pedal box out of some thicker 3 or 5mm steel, but ill just reinforce the new pedal box with steel around the 4 spot welds that hold it together !!!

No. Two bolts in engine bay on Clutch master cylinder. Then one looking straight up from the clutch pedal. You need a pillow or something on to lie on, then look up where the clutch pedal is..........SK described it exactly :

Not only is it hard to get out, it is even uncomfortable lying upside down, with the steering wheel in your crutch, the seat base in your crack, your feet on the head rest and your head under the brake pedal. Talk about rush of blood to the brain.....

I'll tell you as well what makes the whole process a heap easier ...

If you don't use the air vent near the drivers door much, just rip out the tube underneath the steering rack (or maybe it goes over, I can't remember as I pulled it out so long ago).

It makes the whole procedure so much easier as you can get to the nut on the pedal box with a socket and an extension :(

      Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.

      Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.

      That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!

      Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)

      Was that deliberate?
