hi mates. i let a friend drive my car tonight. he tried a burnout in 2nd gear on the brakes and my clutch slipped for about 10 seconds roughly. wheels were spinning but clutch was slipping away and ended up smelling burning clutch.

seems ok now but just wondering if it would have damaged it. its got billet flywheel also. seemed to engage good going up a hill dropping clutch in second abit later after that so i dunno.

just worried about stuff like that

You would have put heat spots in the flywheel for sure, also taken some life out of the pads.

+1

damage yes,

needs replacing? no, not unless it slips again after it cooled down properly.

just allow to machine the flywheel next time you replace the clutch

Don't let your mate drive your car. He sounds like a f*cken idiot

+1. Also, to quote Clarkson "[On the Enzo Ferrari] “I rang up Jay Kay, who’s got one, and said: “Can we borrow yours?” and he said, “Yeah, if I can borrow your daughter, because it amounts to the same thing.”"

    • Doing some height adjustment on front suspension on a v35 and noticed this. The passenger side looks correct. So wondering what's happened to the drivers side?
    • Oh...I have the electric mirrors as well iirc ...they're in the same state as just about every other R31 door mirrors, with the 3 plastic screw towers broken/cracked in the plastic molding. All the interior is 'dry', so the mirror switches etc likely all work fine. Some pics below of the trimmer pieces ~ looks to me like previous owner, painted chrome finished trims with black paint ...ergo, the chrome underneath is likely a-ok... ...starts to look yukky posting stuff like this, how much did it cost in fuel on your last sortie up this way?...me just thinking aloud, borrow someone else's 4cyl to cut costs, come do your own pick'n'pull like before to save me some bother...hehe.. but whatever, I'll just earmark bits I know you want, because the way this is all panning out, I'll be able to retire the R31 from daily duty at long last, replacing it with a Subaru wagon I'm lining up in the wings...ergo, my attitude towards the donor pinny shell is starting to wane a bit, and I'm more than happy to help you out there... Like you say though, no rush...and I'll guarantee we won't be moving too far from this locale at any rate 😎
    • Cool, I’m just down Sydney today. Not much time to get online.
    • Yep, all good ~ the spare AC fan here, I think has a dead armature segment (I didn't pull it apart to verify, as there's plenty of AC fans out there that can be fitted to the R31)...I'll get some pics of the exterior trim pieces...
