My mechanic was insistent that it would work better with the clutch I'm getting. So I just told him to go for it.

I was going to get one anyway. Less drivetrain loss :)

Car is predominantly a daily, but used for hill climbs and track days too.

Trying to get a good balance between looks, performance and practicality/reliability.

flywheel is a waste of money

I dunno, didn't really like the feel of my Exedy HD, so thought the cushion might be a good change. Spur of the moment thing :P

haha the cushion button isnt all that good for daily driving :P

takes a bit of getting used to, Kris drove my old 32 with the cushion button and even he said was hard

took alot of abuse though, and only died when one of the springs popped out of the centre part, apparently its a common issue on them

Haha good call. He's actually not making money off the clutch. That's the price that his wholesaler gave him. It's a bloody good clutch though. Definitely overkill for what I need but meh :P

HDCB's are terrible for taking constant abuse (like a full track day). The centre and the ceramic are attached so you can't rebuild them modularly when they wear out, they suck for daily driving and are no more durable than a regular HD.

basically HDCB's are for people who want to feel like they're using a brass button without any of the durability or benefits.

You either buy an HD which is cheap to maintain, gives good grip and slips enough to daily drive, or you get your balls in a bunch and buy a brass button. HDCB is for fags.

Heavy flywheel + snappy clutch = good

Light flywheel + snappy clutch = shockloaded drivetrain

I run an exedy lightened wheel in mine, with a 5 puk. Love it.

Fantastic for track work. Doesn't get driven on the street a whole lot, but when it does its a ball.

To be honest I didn't notice the difference between gears, there is a definite pickup in revs while while under load though.

leigh fix coilpacks and then check it, if the coilpacks misfire i wouldnt bother trying anything else. Where do u live? Do u want me to check it

yeah i'll wack coilpacks in first and see how it goes. I live near Knox but yeh will see how the new coilpacks go first

    • I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.
    • I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.
    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
