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.

    • Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 馃槕. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

    • Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.
    • Hope the cans went down well at least 
    • 255 can't go wrong with the price.
    • When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
