DRD-00F Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Throw it out... you can't fix that... and kill yourself too... try and take out a few expecting mothers as well... No one should have to deal with this level of in-humanity...

ArenaGTR Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 No shit Steven!! GOOD IDEA!! You want my car? for two dowlla? It's a crap car now! Imma perfectionist!! hehe Stewy, nah, I wouldn't cry, but I would prolly suffer from a heart attack...... But yeah, I am not worrying much, just exaggerating things a little hehe shouldn't cost me too much to repair that, oh yer, need to change thrust bearing too, cuz my car is making weird cluck cluck cluck noise whenever I step my foot down the clutch pedal Any idea how much would cost me to get them fixed?

paulR32gtr Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Lovely looking beast - i'm really coming around to the 33 GTR looks in that silver especially - maybe also 'cos everything on the 32 getting old! If its a standard clutch, change that at the same time if you got any bucks left because it wont last long when your testing out that magical 7k RPM launch I paid $1100 installed for an Xtreme HD single plate in 05 and it's still clamping as well as ever. I guess thrust bearing would probably be around $3-500 depending where you go - pivot ball snapping a few days before christmas cost me $500 but that's more because of when not what.

Turbz_13 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I reckon ya can fix that mate, i had a friend with an rs turbo liberty that copped a massive bit taken out of his front bar(being plastic) and the plastic welded it and re painted it and it looks fine. them 33 gtr bars are worth a dollar!

paulR32gtr Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 oh and if you do change the clutch - hold onto the bits don't leave them at the workshop - you can get them rebuilt down the track Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/203175-finally-my-gtr-has-landed-in-australiabut/#findComment-3604832 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightcrawler Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 that sucks .... but it is nothing worse than you will do to it the first time you hit a decent spoon drain or carparking bump when you aren't expecting one. The Chips Away (or similar mobile duco repair mob) - they specialise in that sort of thing. The whole bar doesn't need to be repainted.

Hillzy Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 (edited) I can understand too. I bought my car in perfect condition with not even a car park ding on it. Then one day I notice a small chip out of the paint from mrs effing who gives a sh*t's door. Now it pisses me off everyday haha Edited January 26, 2008 by Hillzy Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/203175-finally-my-gtr-has-landed-in-australiabut/#findComment-3605063 Share on other sites More sharing options...
