ooer interesting did you find an aftermarket clutch for the z? first time I changed mine i had to go standard nissan.

And you must change the flywheel as well. it is dual mass and will blow up sooner or later which means box out again anyway.

For the GTR clutch....where are you? there are lots of sydney workshop threads. And I've got a clutch for sale that would suit

Excellent work! My poor baby has to go back in there soon to get my box rebuilt.

Yeah $300 is a good price and i got quoted from 2 places same price. Some places may need your car for 1 day simply because its xmas time and everyone wants their car back before xmas. Anyways good luck

getting a heavy duty clutch installed at northern beaches performance today in my 33 gtst, think they qouted about $300 for approx 2-3 hours work. would highly recommend them, and it would be alot closer than drummoyne.

why don't you just get a heavy duty clutch if you're planning on upgrading down the track? :rofl:

got my Exedy 5 puk button kit installed by trent last week, it's awesome, so light and easy to use. was expecting something very heavy and a bitch to use in traffic

if you're having trouble getting a hold of northern beaches performance on the landline, try trent's mobile (on website). quite often he's got an air compressor going or something and can't hear the phone.

and i think he mentioned sam isn't working there anymore

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.

      You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
