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

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • 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?
