It's getting to the stage where you find a good workshop, they treat you good for a while then shaft you, find another workshop and same thing ,good for a while then you get shafted again.

Sick of this sh$t . :no:

Bl4cK32 , where do you get your car done ?

My problem is I work 10hr days :) and on my day's of I'm knackered and wouldn't trust myself doing these repair's ( nitro rc car's no worry's} .

Talking clutches, my exedy twin plate needs rebuilding . Any recomendations? How much?

I have been told by a mechanic {big name workshop again} that it is $200 cheaper to rebuild it, than buying a new one .

Is this bullsh$t ?

Some one else{advan} said all I need is new plates {$700-$800} + labour, and rebuild Hydrolic booster seal's including labour $150 approx . Compared to what I was charged for the clutch in the first place, Way cheaper option .

Some one else said go see adelaide clutch services and they could make up chromeolly or whatever it is plates that will last twice as long as the above ones and cost a fraction more.

Now the first workshop said that it's no use just doing plates etc because some other part would be knackered , which is why he said replace it rather than rebuild it .{ can't remember the part though} .

I will say I am now confused as sh#t . :(

You people probably are too. LOL

Now please HELP a guy who's about to have a nervous brakedown get some sleep and peace of mind

any comment's PLEASE

Or if you have a magic wand, can I borrow it. LOL

I mostly work on my own car, but get Shaun to do tuning or complicated stuff...

If u need a gb done there are a couple of good places in Adelaide. Ask on the forums here for recommended places...

Twin plate i would just buy the rebuild kit for it (plates) that need replacing or whatever. Ask in the driveline section as a few places in Aus sell recon plates, and it would probably be cheaper to get it sent here than buy in SA.

If your happy with the way the clutch was before, why go changing plates. There is no need to get a whole new clutch if the other just requires plates....

has any one here tryed using the os gilken cross gear set in their box? surposed to be tuff as and a lot more freindly than a straight cut dog box gear set. reading from fast fours and rotarys these are selling at $3500 for cross and from $6500 for dog box internals

feed back apreciated.

Has anyone here tryed fisher performance on main north road ? spoke to a fellow there and he seemed quite reasonable. price wise i mean.

Also , has anyone used adelaide brake and clutch services around cavan rd ?{clutch repairs or rebuilds}

Any feadback apreciated. >_<

    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
