Drove a R34 GTR VSpec and got a new clutch (thanks YLWGTR!!!)


Recommended Posts

"Retspec" 2 Troy (YLWGTR) for makin it all possible... what a champion... not only did he hook me up with an organic fibre clutch (same as what I had int here before) and installing it for me (for a very respectable price)... but he also let me drive his car :)

WHEEEEEEEEEEE I am sooo happy now. :D:D:D:D

Even tho I didn't give it hell coz I was like soo scared I'd break something, I felt like my hands and legs were part of the car... soo much response, so much power... Button clutch was a bit wierd to get used to, click, click in or out no halfway business... Its such a lovely car to drive even in normal non-"i'mma burn the roads up" driving mode. Never felt so in control of a car... I want one!!!!

Oh and my new clutch is in (afta having driven a car that's had a fading clutch ever since I got it)... feels nice too. I'm probably gonna give it a full service and a new set of sparks, drain all fluids and prep it up paint and dents wise, give it a bit of pampering, coz its her 1 yr birthday on the 3rd of July.

Yet again... thanks again to Troy... the guys jus a legend. (plus he really knows his shit inside and out... from importation to mechanics to carbon fibre moulding ;)).

I'mma post a piccie of my clutch now... note how its worn down to the plate...

Oh did I mention that I crunched his 3rd gear at first.. lol... my heart was in my mouth when I heard it go KRRRR.

Oh and I think its got a short shift kit in as well coz I think I moved the gear knob maybe 3cm between shifts... and they all click into place so effortlessly (or they don't if you don't get the button clutch right).

Really sweet car... god bless the panda eyes :)

he's jus down on hols atm fom japan, but he did it for me at one of his mate's workshops, he dusn't really do it for a living. I can give u his mate's workshop details if das wat u want they're a pretty good bunch.

hehe... i asked him... his policy is... "why should I pay for others to see my car" lol and with a car car like that he's right

    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
