Ouch! No good mate! :( May be a seat or two going, you'll know if there is! 5K hey? Running the same turbo setup? You'll be getting close to cracking 100kW at the wheels soon! :y: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz_Rx Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 (edited) Not at all worried about the blown HG, I just laughed when it happened!! That 4k will get raped for parts for the 5k anyway, so the fact that this happen will motivate me to get it in sooner! :y: Would have been running over 100rwkw with the 4k a couple of weeks ago on around 20psi, well by my calculations anyway. Nah this is gunna be a TOTALLY new set up!! I've sold the whole carby turbo set up to James (Ollies mate) with the really neat ke55 coupe (same colour as mine with pin stripes).

Josho Posted August 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 (edited) Lots of new shit fitted. Props to Gilly for coilovers and cambertops, Kyouteki for T3 gear, etc. etc.... Was hoping to make round 4 of the Tassie drift series, but the clutch is playing up. It's bizzare, replaced the clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearing and clutch cable but still struggling to get it to engage even with the cable adjusted right up. Gotta check the pivot ball on the clutch fork, only a matter of taking the box back off for a look I guess. Anyone got any ideas on what could be shagged?

Des Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 (edited) Check for cracks in the clutch fork, Could be bent. The tend to crack around the were the ball sits. Also make sure the ball is there. Edited August 15, 2008 by AE70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josho Posted August 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 The tend to crack around the were the ball sits. Yeah? Will give that a look. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josho Posted August 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 (edited) Right. Had the box off last night and compared the 5 speed fork to a 4 speed one, they both get the same amount of travel and the 5 speed fork doesn't look cracked or bent. Had to leave it for work, but going to give the pedal box a look, see if I've managed to bend the clutch pedal or somthing... really running out of ideas. Flywheel doesn't look like its worn massively or anything. Thoughts? Edit: Turns out if you read the FAQ all the way through, you find things you missed the first time. Apparently this happens a bit with heavier pressure plates. If you use another "clutch horn rubber" reversed over the top of the stock adjustment stop it gives it the travel needed... thing is, not really sure what they mean by clutch horn rubber?

ke20rolla Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Hi, the clutch horn rubber is the rubber part that goes in the firewall were the adjustment is. Also the cable hasn't streached by any chance. :dance: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josho Posted August 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Thought that may have been what it was, cheers dude. It's a fresh cable, replaced it thinking it may have been the problem. Sadly not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josho Posted August 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Ok, sorted clutch issue by making a spacer on the throwout bearing carrier. Had trouble getting the passenger side axle out the other night, bearing was in there solid with rust, spent 40 or so minutes using the brake drum inverted, couldn't get it out. Asked the old man if he had any hot tips last night (now wondering why I didn't ask him to start off with, seeing as he does a lot of work straightening diff housings..) He hands me this rather large axle, which he had modified into a massive-fsckoff-slide hammer. Two hits with that baby and the once stubborn axle came flying out of the housing. Will have to upload a photo of this thing, it was carved from pure awesome. With the diff centre out I'll hopefully get it welded over the next couple of days and have it back in for the weekend. May have lined up a 4.111 ratio crown and pinion, which will go great on my LSD when I get that shimmed up. Got a fair bit of shit to do before Sat. Just hope I make it.

Taz_Rx Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Is there drift on at Symmons or something on the weekend? Yell out if you haven't got the weldy sorted by tomoz, bring it down and we'll fill it with weld. ;) Just bring some sticks with ya as I don't know if there's any down stairs. I had to make an axle puller for the mazda out of a snapped axle. Uses a Porsche 944 front disc as the slider!! :jamie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
