The caps... they hurt my head!

After working in the Engineering industry (the big stuff, mines, pipelines etc...), I can tell you a screw up similar to that would have caused havoc and got the company a black mark industry wide.

The company should have replaced all parts involved due to not completing work to specs atleast as a good will gesture. By not doing this, they are causing their own issues and getting a bad rep.

Customer service is important no matter where you go or where you work, sometimes you have to just let in for what you may not agree with for the sake of your reputation.

This isn't just some horror story, but a serious matter. It happened, and recently. It isn't a friend of mines uncles brothers dog walkers sister. It's well known people in the community being affected directly by this "blunder".

Back to the topic:

Have you got it diagnosed yet? how much damage was done? any quotes?

I'm interested to see how you went.

Hey dan, off the beaten track a little, but what can you do for me in the clutch department - i think mine is slipping and will need a new one shortly.

Can these things be reconditioned?

In some cases the clutch can be reconditioned but you would really only bother with a twin or triple plate. Too many people do a half arsed job trying to cut costs when in actual fact it will end up costing you twice as much because the pressure plate has worn out or something similar. Unless you have a multiplate clutch, just replace it with a new one. There are a few different options when it comes to single plate clutches so it's besty to discuss these things over PM or phone. You have my number.

Cheers, Daniel.

My bad with the Caps. Until u guys mentioned it I didnt even realise I had done it.

Im not pissed or anything all I was saying was John did my engine and I am very happy. I would be pissed though if the same thing happened to me and the builder denied it being his bad.

Cheers

I have seen a chapman engine at the same engineers that dan uses so not sure if they use the same place or not.

yeah Andrew uses Chilton Engineering also.

I will never take my engineering work anywhere else and neither will Andrew. Absolutely no better engineer on the planet.

      Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in

      Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.

      How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
