I have spare beds available in the accomodation thread.

It's not that messy. Just Troy doing his thing. He's slept on the hall runner at my place when doing a late one fixing his car, just so he doesn't mess the bed up.

Dane would bring the Clubsport up if that had a decent clutch in it.

I've offered him to co drive my car and he is still deciding if he's going to do that. (I'm tipping that he will!) Although my clutch is wearing pretty thin too.

Must be an evil clutch spirt lurking around DECA competitors!

I took the shitbox in for a bit of a check today and got it back only to be told that the clutch is on its way out so I gotta take it easy heh. take it easy? fark that for a joke!

Gonna see if I can convince them to just put in a new one before saturday hehe

PS: Dane don't be a big pansy, either get upstaged driving the missus's car or bring the clubby :)

Thanks for the offers guys, really appreciate it!! :rolleyes:

If you guys are up for it, then so am I!! I'm spewing that I'm going to miss DECA, such a killer. It's even more of a killer because I just had the box out of the car on friday doing the rear main and the gearbox seal, and put martini oil in it... BA BOW for me :)

Do you have anywhere to do it. Is your clutch/flywheel etc all ok? If its jsut swapping over the gearbox do you want to have a go Thursday night? Throw in some cheap oil, drive it up to DECA Friday night to get some kms on it, flush out the cheap oil Friday night then top up with the good stuff Friday night...quick check everything is ok and then go thrashing on Saturday...:laugh:

My clutch is having slight issues... I've got some hairline fractures in the plates, but I don't know how long it's been like that. It seems to be working fine, but Sam seems to think that it may not be disengaging completely. We noticed it was like this before I went to morwell, so obviously it's been like that for a while and hasn't seem to have affected it too much. He's pricing me up a rebuild kit for it at the moment.

So as far as I'm aware it's only changing the box. The only issue I could see is that the block looks like it has been hacked a little bit with a screwdriver, so when they put the rear main seal in they had to silicon it a little bit to ensure it didn't leak, which it didn't, well at least for the 24 hours I had it back

I would love to be able to give it a go, however I'm not that mechanically minded, so I don't know how much help I will be, but I can follow orders! The major issue is somewhere to do it, as I don't have a garage/undercover area. I'll see if I can fin anywhere.

Thanks so much for the offers guys, I really appreciate it

Dave: If I bust the clubbie I'm really f**ked!! haha I'm really taking it easy until I can afford to replace the clutch in it... might have to settle for getting whooped by Juz, or we can put the box in the 180 and I can whoop her good haha

Thems are fighting words Dane... Your lucky I'm in another state otherwise I would've kicked you in the junk for that comment!! hehe

It may pan out like this...

I've also had to pull out because of car problems. I was under my car having a look on the weekend checking things and changing tyres and noticed my exhaust is about to split in half. The centre mount has broken and the muffler and exhaust are about to seperate! Unfortunately I don't have the time this week or the cash to fix it so I'm out for this one. I am still hoping to be there to help out and watch you all battle it out.

If you guys are serious about getting the 180 sorted, I will lend a hand if I have time on Thu. It can't be any more painfull than the GTR Box. TX5 boy and me had that out and in pretty quick.

Dane find a place. Can anyone lend a factory with hoist we can use late?

Dane, bring the car down to driftline and we can chuck it up on the hoist and have the gearbox swapped over in no time if you want it done before DECA. I'm sure some of the jspec boys would help out too... and the monkeys at driftline who cahnge gearboxes pretty much every day on drift thrashed 180s.

Should be able to organise it say late thursday or even friday night and then a cruise up to Shepp (seeing as driftline is off the Hume anyways)?

Thanks for that Shan. The only issue is a lack of funds to get the box in before DECA, otherwise the car is down at Sam's (Dr Drift) and I could probably get it done this week. But having to buy the other box has seriously depleted the bank account...

Chris: Thanks for the offer mate, much appreciated. :P

The boxes are usually pretty easy to put in as far as I'm aware, the only issue may be pulling the external gate off in order to tilt the engine.

Silva33: Thanks mate, if everyones up for the job that would be great!!

I can't say how much I appreciate all these offers guys, shows what a great car club this is. I owe everyone a beer!!

      Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.

      Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.

      Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
