Won't be a f#cked cluth more much longer. Dropped my car at autoclutch this afternoon, I'll be on the road again tomorow, look out!!

The guy that picked it up said I should notice quite a diference in performance, cause the old one would have been slipping slightly all the time without me realizing.

Looking forward to the cruise. :D

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?

Thats an understatement dude.

Allthough im not sure of the 200sx's kurb weight im guessing its about 200kgs lighter going by the s13s stats,

R33 are about 1370

R32 are about 1280 not sure on that one

The S13, S14, S15 models all seem to launch very good on small tyres too!

I've never felt it grip so hard.

Im happy:D

That's a bit personal hey :P

hahah, kew dude.. good to hear... hopefully improve on that 13.7 time huh ?

i actually think your stocker clutch did pretty well considering the power/times you were putting down at the plex hey :)

Great news Hicks, a new clutch is just what the doctor ordered. Do you find it heavy under foot or not? I hope your going to the Plex this Wednesday, so you can show me what a 13.7 looks like, and then I'll try and follow in your footsteps.

The 13.9 was OK, but I want more.

See'ya:burnout:

The S14 is about 1250 from memory. I remember the S15 being about 10kg lighter, add to it the extra gear ratio and it certainly takes off quicker.

Legal Shmegal,

Macka I say it counts, for two reasons:

1. We ain't talking about whether you won the race or not, just the times.

and 2. Jumping the start doesn't make any difference to your ET as we all know.

So. I say the 12.9 counts.....

(dude you can give me the $50 later):P

Cheers Brett that made me feel better......

I didnt even break the start, the Torry did and i got a .221 reaction time!

I like EVL R33 but i dont skyzerr33 anymore so :P

i'm so crushed :whip: :D

ow and breaking does reduce your ET

Hey Macka, I'll be your friend for $50, I'll even say that the time was legal.:P

On the night I told you that the ET should be correct even if it was considered an illegal run, I suppose Skyzerr has to have some rules for the drag ladder.

Just can't wait till you get the car fixed and get it back on the track, give it a couple months and I may be able to catch you.

See'ya:burnout:

    • 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.
