I'm getting a new one on Tuesday, xtreme 9-puck has failed for mine, while my mates abused 440hp holds up just fine with 10x more punishment! After it's pulled out to see just what sucked I'm deciding from there, but not sure what way I will go just yet. Twin-plate might just be a touch too far at the moment for me :thumbsup: Sponsor, anyone??

Gav, convert to an auto transmission and this is not a decision you will need to make :)

btw, grats on your 2nd at MC, but you were a bit closer to me than i like so i am happy to help with your auto conversion :thumbsup::blush::D

thats a 2nd with sliping clutch be afraid bard be afraid

shame really other than the bad idle/ rough running things felt good aparently no 5's coil pack wasnt attached properly but meh my best for the season

clutch didnt really show major issues till i tried to pass a truck on the way home revs went up speed didnt things got bad from there on

teach me to buy new sunnnies and think about new investments

*edit* if you want to help with full tein suspension instead of the auto im listening

Pauls will be avail as a second hand set as of Monday. I think he wants $1400 as they have done like 2000km.

You can have them at the end of the MC Season :thumbsup:

But seriously, its good value and if you supply the beer, ill come down and help fit them :blush:

so same as whats in your ride aye? if theres still fold available after clutch and cooling system weve got somehing to talk about at next autotest

and my beer is better than anything you can buy i promise you

Try the ORC carbon clutch. As you know drifters abuse their clutch like madness, like kicking and stuff... and it still holds up to the torture. A jap mechanic who does work for japan's drift cars told me that it feels almost like driving an organic, but it takes up to about 700hp. :thumbsup: Well price wise... ahem....

Yep, zactly the same as what i have. It will give us an more even playing field :(

I run a 4puck cushioned brass button clutch (exedy I think), lots of 1st & 2nd clutch drops and rolling kicks, I don't abuse 3rd so can't comment much there :( seems to handle all the abuse I deal it (ask Tristan, he's seen it painting lines :wub: )

yea slide has a decent range of exedy clutches so i was looking that way

spose itd really help if i gave a little info on cherryred and her uses for those who dont know me

while she sees verry little road use these days i dont want an overly heavy clutch

most of the track done at the moment is motorkana style but i plan on moving into short track stuff in the near future

power figures arnt expected to ever go over the mid to high 200s so no massive hp abuse

thanks for all the replies so far

    • Yes, but 2 things of the top of my head, 1. Legalities of nitrous on a street car. 2. No chop chop. I fully understand that there's much cheaper ways to make power, and whilst a wet 50 shot is fairly cheap to install, bottle fills are expensive, and bottles always need to be refilled, and nitrous also has its own inherent issues with reliability, and tuning, from my experience of others using nitrous, it doesn't take alot to lunch a engine real quick if something goes slightly wrong when spraying, if I wanted a big chunk of additional powers, a spooly boy would make alot more sense, disregarding the additional engineering, supporting mods and other logistical issues of sticking a spooly boy on a car that came naturally aspirated from factory  In the end I'm not racing for sheep stations, and I don't really care if people make more power, or are faster than me, or spend less, or more than me, the only thing the car needs to do is drive around and make me smile, which it is doing now Really, I just want a shiny new intake to look at when I'm cleaning the engine bay, and of course, some more induction doorts, and maybe even that 5kw for that elusive 200hp cherry on top that I might get If the FAB9 intake plenum, TB and air filter box thing doesn't eventuate for whatever reason, Plasmaman do one, not as fancy looking, and a fair chunk of more cash is required when including the TB and other bits and pieces that are required to install it, but, it is another option that is available to me if FAB9 one does fall down (but I really, really.....really, want the FAB9 one though) TL;DR. You want what you want
    • Been so long since I have been here,seeing SDU is dead. I had that problem on my gtr in 2006 but luckily there was no engine damage,it was inspected by Hytech Engines,race bearings and extended crank collar put in and that was about it. Hopefully yours is sorted now.
    • Would it not be cheaper to just spray nitrous?
    • I've got cash, it's the NA LOLS I'm after now Plus, I've had a few boosted cars, and it is soooo easy to turn a reliable car into a unreliable drivetrain eating money pit monster by just paging up and chasing more My power goal for the NC is to try for a reliable naturally aspirated 150kw or 200hp atw (I'm old, and the old naturally aspirated cherry of 100hp per litre is a goal that I would like to hit), no more is really needed for what I use the car for,  so a additional 5kw is what I'm chasing now,  that 5kw is about $3k away, I think....
