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!

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.

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?

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.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      By Butters · Posted

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      By Degzy · Posted

      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?
