My mate was launching in his r32 gtr .. he launched in 1st when he went for 2nd he could not clutch in properly (from what i am told) and he had 2 get his car home .. so

could u rev match then just chuck in the gear u need just 2 get it home ? Or would it still be as bad cuz i think he was just jamming the gears in with

the cluch down (from what i have heard).

Would there be any difference if he rev matched ? easier to change ? less damage done 2 box ?

thanks guys 4 ur help

Yeah i had to do this for 35km once (master cylinder decided to shit itself out of town), basically I managed to get it into 5th and use it as a poor man's auto for most of the way, but I was shitting myself when I came to a bridge with traffic lights that I was going to wreck the box from putting clutch in and pretty much forcing it into 2nd to take off again, but I got there in the end, and (so far so good), there wasn't any damage to it.

I had to do this for 2 months while waiting to get the cash to get a new clutch and then actually getting the clutch installed. You get used to it and end up being a better driver afterwards. Even with a clutch i tend to rev match anyway.

Everyone should learn to rev match anyway in case something like this happens. It makes you a better driver anyway if you can double clutch...your synchros and clutch will love you for it.

eerrrrrr no, your synchros wont love you for it, double clutching is for gear box's with no synchro's, do it in a box with synchro's and you f**k the synchro's quicker.

    • I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.
    • Plus, you'll get great experience in bedding in pads!
    • I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.
    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
