I took my tranny off yesterday and got the clutch off today....

I was told by my tuner that my clutch felt as if "it is binding up or the throwout bearing isn't working properly"

If anyone sees anything out of the ordinary please let me know...

This is how the clutch looked when I removed it

Is this normal to have wear around the ring of the outside? I inspected the bellhousing for any signs of wear and didn't see anything... the paint on the clutch is scratched off but the metal hasn't really been gouged.

If anyone sees anything out of the ordinary (how it's mounted, throwout bearing, etc) please let me know.... I'd hate to have to order a new clutch but if that's what it takes then so be it.

Cheers

if it is just the clutch being sticky, then you can try gettin another throwout bearing, should be pretty cheap from coventreys etc, or clean the existing one up with some degreaser etc. clean up the shaft and grease it up, then stick it all back together and see how it goes...if it is sticking it is probably the bearings in the throwout bearing or the shaft is sticky not letting the bearing to move smoothly...

could be the fork or the slave cylinder...but not likely by the look of it....

Just take the flywheel of and go get it machined ($50) and get a new throwout bearing and clean everything properly..leaving no grime anywhere inside the bellhousing nor on the clutch..grease the spigot shaft with proper grease...dont put grease on the throwout bearing cos it can flick of at high speeds and go onto the clutch plate and then the clutch plate will slip hardcore...put it all back together...test out the slave cylinder to see if its working properly as well..

      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 .

      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?

      100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!

      ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
