Yep, as the thread title suggests, I f#cked my clutch.

The day started off pretty good with some low 14's and high 13's.

Then I managed to pull a 13.7, my new best!!:D

But then, due to peer presure I entered the burnout comp to show the front wheel drive panzies how its done. My car was smokin up but it wasn't my tyres.;)

I made it about 50 metres up rockingham road before my car just stopped.

My old man just tow'd me home in his jag.

I ain't too pleased, but I got my 13.74!!

Hicks,

I'm sure I've told you before that jap cars aren't designed to do burnouts, leave that to the V8 boys, there cars are only good for burnouts.

I am sorry that you stuffed your clutch but it shouldn't be too expensive to fix, I think you can get the factory one fixed for about $250 at the Clutch Factory.

If your after a stronger clutch, as this will likely happen again with the new power, then I can get you a twin-plate or heavy duty clutch pretty cheap.

The old clutch burnout would have really impressed the V8 guys, they were probably having a good chuckle at your expense.

Consider this an expensive lesson in how to treat your car. I guess I won't be racing you on Wednesday night then!

See'ya:burnout:

Well that's the right attitude, normally people blow 2 or 3 factory clutches before making the decision to move, which I'm sure Macka will have to do soon aswell. I'll ring my mate on Monday, I know he has a Nismo 5-puck at the moment, which might be enough for your car, but I'll find out which twins he has and the price.

I'd suggest you sell that flash stereo you bought and go for a decent clutch, your bound to have more fun with that.

See'ya:burnout:

Yeah I did the same thing to mine, without the burnout of course, and it definately does stink. I was joking about selling the stereo.

A factory one repaired would let you limp around for a bit longer, but you wouldn't want to race the car too hard. It depends on whether you can get the funds, maybe an early Christmas present from the folks?

See'ya:burnout:

I doubt it.

It was ****ed today before the burnout, the burnout just put it out of its mysery. If I didn't do it, I doubt it would of lasted the drive home.

Oh well, Shit happens.:whackit: (im aware this has nothing to do with anything, but its f#ckin funny!)

$830 or there abouts depending on your exhaust setup for Ross @ Perth Autoclutch to put in a 2500pound pressure plate and 9 finger clutch plate. If you want to see pics of it, find rev210's post about his ogura flywheel as he put the same clutch in as well with his new flywheel. Works great, no slip, just a bit stiffer to drive.

Autoclutch is the place to go for a new clutch mate.

I have the 9 button ceramic clutch and I kept my old stock pressure plate.

The take up is lovely for a button clutch, I've never seen anything like it! As usual (for button clutches) the clutch friction point is closer to the floor but it feels as soft as the stocker without the slippage.

    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
