I did the clutch in my R33 a couple of weeks ago, mine looked worse than that. I wish had kept it now to get some photos.

I should see if my mate got any photos of the clutch in his Pulsar, it exploded into lots of little pieces.

roasted the clutch in my mates 12,000 kay old hilux doing burnouts offroad and pulled the entire clutch disk lining out of the gap between the box and bellhousing. lol

hahaha, the if u knew the dude that owned it ud understand, also the clutch was no where near the power handling ability it was claimed to be from the shop that put it in for him.

Even if the clutch was not rated for the power of the car, I wouldn't think it would shred the clutch like that. I have seen clutches explode from being driven in stupid ways, my clutch was FUBAR when I pulled it out, but I have never seen a clutch do that. I reckon it is either a defective clutch plate or not put in properly.

no, it is possible to do that to any clutch.

the night before we put my bros clutch in he though he'd go out and thrash the clutch as much as he could.

basicly, he sat there and made it slip for ages, which caused the material to shit it self leaving the rivets there to scratch holes in the pressure plate.

he also f**ked up the flywheel (he had a new one to put in anyway)

all in all the car wasnt drivable and had to be pushed into the garage.

    • I had never actually looked into it, but aren't onboard compressors a thing in trucks?
    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
