13.7 and a F#cked clutch!!

[Hicks]

G'day all.

I rang auto clutch today, For the good Ceramic 2500 lbs its $550.00 which I think is pretty damn cheap. Then another $200 for installation.

Should have my car back on the road in a week or so.

Mate thats the way to go.

2500lbs pressure plate is a bit of a leg breaker. It may not be to your taste if you have never driven a car with one before. Ross does a 2000lb version thats not too much more than stock but has plenty of extra clamping pressure.

Just think about it... or better still ask someone nicely to have a turn of their car with a 2500lb pressure plate and see if you will like it. (personally I don't think you will need it unless you are going to tow a boat).

I got the works, 2500 pound pressure plate and the 9 finger metal spring loaded plate. Its been in now for about a month and I think I'm finally used to the extra effort required to push on the clutch. It takes some time getting used to as rev210 says maybe go with the 2000 pound pressure plate it'll save your legs

That sounds like the go Hicks. My mate only has twin-plates for pull type assemblies (R32 GTR's), not push type which you need. He says the guys at autoclutch are very good, and it seems everyone is in agreeance with that.

He did say, and this is open to anyone, that he has 5 factory clutches that need rebuilding, and therefore if anyone wants to use one to get rebuilt while they are still driving on there's then it would keep you on the road. So if you feeling like you need to replace your clutch then we can give you one to have built into a 2500lb monster, and then take your crappy clutch back off you once the new one is fitted.

Let me know if anyone wants to do this.

Hope your on the road soon Hicks.

See'ya :burnout:

Cheers,

Should be this week. With any luck i'll make it to the cruise.

Gtrken,

I'm sure your right ken, always get them mixed up, but it won't fit the GTS-t.

See'ya:burnout:

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!

Hey...

No im not running the standard clutch and yes its cactus!

Autoclutch 2500lb pressure plate bla bla, works good! good take up but it only lasted 5000kms for me.

I think if you want 300hp+ i wouldnt bother as that clutch isnt the answer to all your problems ewven if u may think so to start with what about 3 or 6 months down the track.

Hicks and GTS_VSPEC u guys deserve each other!

Hey Macka, don't get jealous, come out of the closet and join us.

At least im not a receiver!

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Macka,

How stuffed is your clutch? I take it you can still drive on the street no problems, so the 2500lb clutch's aren't up to 300+hp and drag racing. I did think the 450hp was a bit optimistic, but I suppose it depends how you drive it, drag racing will put alot more stress than normal hard driving.

If your after a twin-plate I'll keep my ears and eyes open and let you know if ones available.

See'ya:burnout:

Macka, did you use the 9 puck one or the uprated organic plate ?

The puck one seems to hold together with a GTR so am surprised if ya killed one of those in 3 mths

Gday Ken

Im not really sure i was under the impression it was just the organic upgrade...

Whatever Dan (imacul8) had i got too

[Hicks]

G'day.

Macka, I think you must have the upgraded organic one. The ceramic one wouldn't die that easy. And I don't think you'd get such the strong burning smell, but I could be wrong.

[gtrken]

If it's from Autoclutch it would normally be either a 9 puck Brass button or an upgraded ( read asbestos ) plate.

Ross doesn't do ceramic normally and if you have a smell of burning , like when you have hammered the brakes, then it will be an upgraded fibre one.

Thatll be the one.

I told Ross how much horsepower i had n may possibly get and what i was gonna do with it and thats what I got.......

A BBQ!

[Hicks]

Well im gettin the ceramic bronze one on friday. Let ya know what its like.

[pisnnissn??]

Hicks, are you going to go back to the plex and atleast show people that your Skyline can smoke the tyres rather than destroy the clutch. It was quite funny to see when you actually thought the tyres were turning !! Hope to see another fine burnout performance soon dude.....

[giz01]

hey are the skyline's heavier than a s14 200sx? it's just that my gf's car made a huge 126kw/170hp@tyres yet ran a 13.75! wats the story people?

[Guest aw11]

19 inch rubber and your trying to melt it???

that's crazy talk!
