rob77,

Nah, Hicks can't speak english, he barely manages to drool. His parent dropped him on his head when he was a baby, I'm surprised he's smart enough to keep breathing.

He obviously can't think for himself, when people say "Hick's go do a burnout man!", he just says "Uh,..OK!"

Just kidding Hicks, well sort of.:slap:

See'ya:burnout:

Hicks,

I think you and I have lost complete control in this thread, oh well nobody else will be reading it by now. But seriously I'm sure some of us can hook you up with a good tough clutch, relatively cheap, and then you can be on your way again.

Do you run on full boost at the drags? Octane booster?

See'ya:burnout:

Yeah full boost!

And I had some wynns octane booster in there, because it was day time and quite hot. But I think the stuff is shit.

And also I saw on another thread you said that you heard that lowering the pressure in tyres doesn't work, but I recomend doing it. I'm pretty sure it helps.

About 20psi, and I filled the fronts up to like 45psi.

I've also been told that doin a burnout on a street tyre before you race makes no diference, but today I started off with no burnout and was spinning first everytime. Then I smoked it up a bit before hand, and ran 13's.

Back on thread and there are sad bast**rds like me reading at this time of night.

Go the single plate brass button sprung centre with uprated pressure from ross at Autoclutch.

So far I have recommended about 6 guys from here ( GTR's and GTST's have used him and I've had 6x GTR , 300ZX TT and rex clutches) off him with no prob.

Yeh yeh, back on topic...

Peer pressure's a bitch for Ben!

he didnt want to do the burnout first, but then we all egged him on... all the while he was saying was "nah, my clutch is f*cked, i shouldnt" then when the clutch started smokin instead of the tyres we all cringed and said "heh, what do you know he was right!"

Sorry Ben!

Rev210, How much did you pay??

Do you have a photo?

Dude check this thread out, got the pics. $330 for the clutch plate I paid. Don't install yourself, putting the gearbox back in is more pain than the $250 for labour.

Yeah thats the one i will be going for! I was quoted $600 fitted but didn't gtstvspec say he could get good deals on clutches?

are you able to see if you can get a better deal for SAU boys?

Also is Macka still running standard clutch? I still am and as a result have to launch quite nicely.... hence the reason while no quarter mile times..... after nect couple of engine mods are done loks like the next thing will be the clutch!

    • My purchase experience was no where near as glorious as yours but still a significant moment in my life! Yeah that's a bit of a dilemma as to whether you bring it back or not!  Obviously a massive waste of time and effort to bring it back if you're only going to move there anyway!
    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.
