As title says I have snapped a weld on my clutch braket. Happened on the drive home from work and seriously scared the fking shit out me. I want to get a nismo reinforced bracket but can't seem to find one for a r34 gtt. Does anyone know if the r33 or r32 one is the same?

Just finished sourcing out rails for my new velo seat and everything was good to go, now this happens...

As above. The Nismo item just has a few extra spot-welds... Not worth the money in my opinion.

Have broken mine before & now have a standard item seam-welded. Just do a bit at a time so it doesn't distort as its quite thin metal. If you can't do it yourself go to an exhaust shop or somewhere with a welder. Will charge sweet FA. A LOT cheaper & a lot stronger than Nismo!

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
