Ahh true, apple pretty much has a monopoly when it comes to audio hardware and apps - mainly due to MS re-inventing the wheel (drivers) each time.

I used to have a C-port DSP24 (CPort 2000) which only had ASIO drivers for Win2k. Was great until I tried to install it on vista. Didn't like it. Eventually someone hacked the drivers to work under XP but they certainly don't run under Win7 - which is great, a $1000 soundcard that doesnt work because the manufacturers are too pov to write new drivers...

Ben, have you tried the generic ASIO driver? I haven't tried it in Win 7 so I'm not sure it will work.

nice 1 Josh

Mitch - expect to pay $550 + 30 shipping for the NPC 5puk cushioned button clutch its rated to 350rwkw or about 330awkw and 1200kg pressure plate

I'm organising a couple soon so if in 4 weeks all you guys are ready to order would make NPC's day :(

this is how he makes the clutch

The pressure plate I use is a standard Exedy cover that is pulled down and fitted with the same diapghragm spring nismo uses in some of their pressure plates. I then modify the Exedy pressure

plate to suit a 5 puk sprung center disc that I make using a 4.2 ltr patrol clutch plate.

im interested in how this drives compared to the stock clutch... is it more/less firm, has more/less travel etc... looks like a sure bargain for $580

wont be requiring one for quite some time but you've piqued my interest

the closest I've driven with the exedy pressure plate is Marks GTR and that was very nice to drive some might say too stiff but i like a heavy pedal

as this uses the same pressure plate I'm sure it will feel the same

i have bought braided lines and the nismo big resi as well that will soften the pedal but hopefully not too much

whats that? nismo master clutch cylinder or whatever? will be a long while before I need to change clutch/gearbox/etc but definately keeping my ears open for what folks are doing

last firm clutch I drove was dion's when I was moving his car at loxton - much firmer than stock

And to the not so literate PC user, go ahead with the updates and you'll end up with Safari, Bonjour and all sorts of other apple shit. I refuse to install iTunes on my new PC!

even the biggest computer retard can see the little box next to safari and bonjour, and then click them off so that the only update they receive is for itunes. and if you fail to do that, even my alzheimers suffering 80 year old grandmother knows how to remove software.

and for my weigh on the apple/windows debate.

im not a fan on iphones, no particular reason, just that every f**k nut and their dog owns one and talks relentlessly about how awesome it is. i heard about and got over iphones in the space of 3.45 seconds.

as for apple computers, love em. even the low end g4's worked better with photoshop and other editing suites than my current reasonably powerful windows laptop.

ill agree that itunes is garbage though. if it werent for my ipod, i wouldnt have it. speaking of my ipod, its the first 80gb 'classic' that went on sale 4 or so years ago, its been dropped on all manner of surfaces, stepped on, left out in 45+ degree sun for a day, has probably racked up thousands of hours of use, and buried and sand, and the f**kers still kicking, the only problems i experience are occasional sync errors when i plug it in to the computer (solved by resetting the ipod), and a slightly shortened battery life caused by the amount of use its had.
