you can;t really knock off a company just because of one bad experience, and if the company is not up to standard it doesn;t mean that you can;t get better elsewhere locally. Like dan said i would like to see you get service like what shauno got from Ozgiken. Sometimes you have wonder is the japanese stuff worth it as they usually cost more than locally manifactured stuff. sometimes it may be worth it sometimes not.

Jay have you seen the stuff on Unique Autosports at the moment... there are a set of Yokohama Wets for $290 in 17"... they look sweet... few race seats and stuff... oh... and one for me a Veilside 2pc front bar for a S13 silvia.... I'm getting my credit card out already... :rofl: just kidding...

Yeah but we're both pimping in the 18" crew :)

Hey talking of the end of August is anyone racing at Benaraby in the mid august... what is the exact dates again??

I would be keen but I haven't done a single thing to the Silvia so I might just save my money until my cooler kit gets here... Actually Jay I was thinking that after the cooler kit I should get one of those nice polished exhaust manifolds you were talking about... Polished piping... I could be pimping too....

Actually you should check out www.sarukaauto.com.au/current.htm

I have a friend that loves starlets... she wanted a turbo rig so can anyone find any cheap ones for sale... neat stockers probably would be the best.... and preferably red... she loves red... So tell me what sort of prices she should look for??

talking of that... who has High Octane 4... and why haven't we got it??

cause theres a shortage of it .... tried to buy a copy the other day and no one in rocky has any in stock. autospeed are about the only place on the net that still has stock.

Willo have a look at www.aablatch.com.au/daikin.shtml

they might have something you can use... that clutch on the top of their page looks like it could take just a little bit of abuse...

Maybe see if you can find which one you like best and then call in squizz to do some cut-throat bargining...

Hey shaun do Nicks do a twin plate or anything of the kind...

whats wrong with exedy clutches - their japanese though ..... www.exedy.co.jp

centreforce - american though - www.centerforce.com

then you've got osgiken .... i can;t find any websites for ozzy made clutches. either they don't advertise with search engines or they don't have websites ....

Hey matt are any of your team headed down the drags to the test and tune... has anyone talked Rick into it yet?? Dev seems pretty keen so that should be good to see... I don't know about wiether to race or not... maybe if Jay races... or pete... that sounds like alot of work getting pete's car going again though... although mad mountain runs are go... Jay is going to show us why four doors are more balanced than two... hell I seen the sideways action last night... don't tell me you weren't flying cause I was going and I saw your headlights the whole way up... actually I think I touched over 140 at one point... not that we encourage that sort of behaviour....

actually I am bulk impressed with the Scibyline... It goes hard... He called me from the lap and within a couple of minutes he was at the top of the Mount... and he lead the way down... if it wasn't for that damn S12... but he did keep us all on the safe side... I actually like going up rather than down... it feels more controlled...

anyway... that is me for the day... time for some Bersy Lunch...

have fun guys...

and stay safe...

That clutch at the top of the page looks exactly the same as the Nismo one I bought. It uses a strap system which has been superseded and you can't get clutch plates for it any more. The closest plates don't fit properly and are $400 a piece.

    • I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.    
    • I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet
    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
    • Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.
    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
