Careless

w00000t. so much fun!

the yolk that slips into the tranmission. it has inner splines. if you want to know why and how they're used or modified, i've explained a little below about how to get rid of them: heavy duty rock crawlers use slip yoke eliminators because often times, the u-joints, differentials, and half-shafts they've upgraded to will take the twisting and larger tire weights easily, but the splines on the inside of the yolk (that turn with and are part of the transmission output shaft), can strip right off, therefore kits are made to eliminate the spline-drive and enhance the strength by allowing the transmission to terminate the output shaft using a u-joint itself. that allows better driveline angle changes too, because the u joint is now part of the housing, and not pushing up on a bend in the driveshaft on some of the more extreme driveline angles, which would bend the yolk within the housing in certain situations, also due to the u-joints orientation. if you make the u joint the end of the transmission, it now becomes the pivot point. just incase you're wondering. =)

and it looks like the clutch that was posted by racinjitter has a clutchnet disc, and they have some pretty good clutch sets.

yep, I spoke to Yobel @ Gripforce. We were discussing the Exedy Stage 1 vs the F1 Stage 2. The Exedy is a full faced organic disc, and does not grab as well as the F1's carbon-kevlar disc. I'm really not concerned about the grabbing on the discs though, I'm concerned about the wear. I do have a 250mm clutch disc here that I could possibly use, but I'd have to check if it fits the f1 pressure plate properly and completely. As for the balancing, i was told over the phone that it doesn't have to be, but if I wanted to, It wouldn't hurt. So I think I'm going to do it at a local machine shop just a bike ride from my house. The flywheel is the exact same as posted by Racinjitter. It should be here on thursday of next week, I hope. I'll take my land-lords digital cam and take some pics.

will do. it was dissappointing for me to find out some of the work that went on with my car, but after this clutch repair it should be pretty good for daily driving for a long time. I'm going to add the stainless clutch and brake lines, short shifter, change valve cover gaskets and seal my exhaust leak at the crossover pipe. it's already got some grippy wheels and has had most major work done. After that is a rear brake pad/disc upgrade or repair, and then an LSD, probably an OBX since I won't be racing the thing but I'd like to see how it feels. Unless I somehow find a CLSD. I've not done a burnout in this car yet, so once the clutch does grab effortlessly after break in, I'll make sure to giv'r

pssssssh, i'd send him to his room and buy him a nintedo wii and some catered food if anything. he's got great taste in cars!

So a faulty CAS actually resets the unit itself and doesn't just make the wolf default to limp mode or something? that's kinda weird considering all the other amazing features it has. LOL

guys, consider using this program http://www.etrusoft.com/download.htm it's called !Quick Screen Capture. I have my F11 button set so that it triggers a selectable box area (or you can make it so that it triggers the entire screen capture), and it will automatically downsample to web-safe size and dump it into a folder of your choice, which I've called SCREENSHOTS on my desktop. I then added a shortcut to the folder on my Quick Links toolbar, as well as a shortcut to http://xs.to that will both open up to 1/3 of the screen in different locations so I can quickly upload and host images.

wire wheel the area with a corded drill and get put a lot of force into it and whipe that area 99.9% of rust, and then use the rust converter of any kind. Prime with a good etching primer THEN bondo. the whisk with primer again. all in thin coats.

remind me to give you some steel rods if I ever need a clean cut. LOL

be sure to write things down too. so many people say they've blue printed an engine, but they don't have the blue prints.

http://xs.to easier than all of them.

well that's like saying everyone should read your comment first because it's more important cause it's the only one in caps. I know that's not what you mean to do, but yes, it is "internet yelling" and on forums it's kind of obnoxious, if not hard to read. (typography 101).

Most mobile blasters use sodium bicarbonate blasting (soda blast), and they will take 80 - 180 dollars an hour, and charge for 12 hours of work. it's kind of expensive.

Thanks for the replies guys. I just ordered a F1 Spec Stage 2 Carbon Kevlar full faced disc and pressure plate kit, and a fidanza flywheel. Total was near 430 shipped. I'd say that's pretty darn good, and I hope it holds up. I'm not a great driver because I only drove my car for 10 days before it decided to fail on me, but I hope to improve with these "harder to drive" modifications that will make easier cars...well... easier I'll snap some pics when I get the parts !

So is that what you're running on your VG30 or were? or is that what's on the RB25? How is the F1 Racing clutch? I was thinking of buying one, but someone told me to go against it.

ooltay hedsay.

sheesh, didn't even notice that.

Yeah, just normal driving. Fully depressed clutch pedal. I even adjusted the push-rod so that it's at max. I'm not sure what to think right now. It seems as though the clutch never disengages completely, almost like the pressure plate is stuck.

youtube.

nice to see a handful of wolves runnin with the pack

pshhhh. stop complaining, you're making excellent progress.

pretty sure you guys will make it

I read from a couple of first hand users and a local friend that got them with his R32 that the Splitfire DI coils downright suck compared to alternatives. People have better spark by covering the stock coils boots with window sealant.

Opteron 165 1.8ghz @ 2.6 - 2.8 with 1.400 Vcore (1.35 Vcore standard) down-clocked it to 2.6 because my case fans are poo poo I think with a better or more silent cooler I would fire up the case fans again and get it operating at 2.8, but I feel no need, It's the OS that's being congested which causes the most problems because I haven't taken care of it via proper cleaning after removing programs.
