There's nothing I like more than rummaging through somebody elses filthy rubbish. I also ride 50km a day and I don't want to be one of those pretentious douches riding around on the road in their $10,000 carbon fibre bikes (clearly I'm jealous because I'm poor) when all you need is a frame with wheels. I plan to buy a piece of rickety old crap to sandblast and paint, then run it as a fixed speed because I never use any of the other damn gears anyway. To date I've been riding my brother's mountain bike because he's out of town, but he's coming back soon so I'll have to give back. It's probably for the best because it's a size too small for me. Tamala Park and Balcatta have really gone downhill over the last couple of years, so I'm curious as to where everybody else goes to get their fix?

I'll answer my own stupid question with details directly from the Nismo site. Nismo big operating cylinder: "To reduce the pedal load when using a sports clutch, improve half-clutch operating characteristics and provide proper clutch connection positioning, the size of the operating cylinder has been increased from 3/4 inch (ø19.055mm) to 13/16 inch (ø20.54mm). This reduces pedal pressure by as much as 14% compared to a standard part." I'll need the 30620-RS580 for the pre Feb '93 GT-R, available locally from folks like Slide. While I'm here, can anybody exlpain why it bites like crazy in all the gears except reverse, which is nice and smooth with plenty of notice before it bites in?

Hi all, I've got an 89 GTR with an Exedy twin plate clutch and lightened flywheel with about 10,000km on it courtesy of the previous owner. The clamping happens in about 2mm of pedal takeup after getting to the friction point and it's very, very heavy, but otherwise is adjusted to the right height, plenty of fluid and doesn't slip at all. I've taken it to a few mechanics and everybody's immediate suggestion seems to be "replace the clutch" after they've driven it. I'm not that clued up yet but that just doesn't seem right me because it doesn't slip and works just fine otherwise. Can be done with the master or slave cylinder to lighten it up or lengthen the take-up? I've heard something about a longer pushrod on slave cylinder? Will an aftermarket one help me out? Please excuse my lack of posts – I've been lurking around here for a while! Any help much appreciated.

Exedy twin plate in my 89 GTR with about 10,000km of daily driving on it. Still bunny-hopping around town like an idiot because the bite is so hard and take-up is so short. Also ridiculously heavy for my weedy legs, which might have something to do with it.
