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...

-D

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

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.

>>original group buy #2<<

I think sau management should organise a private track day, for sliding.

k go

Gee, you guys are a hard bunch to please :(

We're looking into a few avenues of "fun" for the club :wub:

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

-D

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.

    • I might have to shoot them an email. Pity the exchange rate is so bad at the moment. BTW, thanks for posting that table makes interesting reading. 
    • Add these Sensors -Wideband, Oil Pressure, Fuel pressure, Intake air temp Good inspection of ignition system of coils, plugs and loom (12v feed and good ground)- a r35 kit is best bang for buck upgrade. A decent tuner should be able to see any issues with the trigger system- a link has good filtering but a good simple upgrade is the nz wiring bolt in kit. Check and replace all the fuel filters- you would be surprised at intank filter after a few years. Also good to check for any leaks on vac hoses and pipe work as has been said. No need to go overboard and spend big $$$ to enjoy the car. A quality tuner is getting harder to find as anyone with a laptop thinks they are a tuner. A link has great features to check sensor voltages and frequency inputs and easy to see live by pressing f12. The link can do a TPS & RPM fuel/ignition mapping on ITB cars then add a 4D table with MAP and ability to add a 5D to it (can help with economy at cruise with wheel speed vs TPS) Where are you located as that will help narrow down a good tuner ?
    • Reviving an old thread, I reckon my stagea is starting to slip. Car usually gets parked on a hill, narrow driveway so cant go up the driveway smoothly, anyhows, lately first gear feels "sluggish"? Not responsive. Feels like I gotta run the engine more than usual to get off the line...  Any recommendations for transmission servicing in Sydney? Or possibly just an excuse to go manual ?
    • Well, moulded carpets should fit well if the buck they use is the right shape. The finish is then just a case of stiching the trim around the edges. Shuoldn't be too hard to get it right. Back in the day, replacement carpets were all "fitted", in that they were stitched together, with cuts and slices taken out to make them form the shapes. Many more opportunities to get it wrong, hence all the concern over good vendors and bad vendors.
