Well where do i Start, The Fun with the car was short lived..

around the end of march a weird noise started comming from the clutch or course me being me i didnt check it until it went with a Bang LOL

after alot of thinking i didnt want the hassle of bringing it to a garage and thought sure fuck it i may aswell give changing the Clutch a go myself

bar changing a engine in a shitty golf a few years ago iv very little mechanical expeirence but im willing to learn

got it up

was getting really pissed at this stage LOL

took out the Pressue plate to be greated by a barrage of springs falling all over the floor >

but not one to miss a oppourtunty i bought myself a Early birthday present
Exedy 3puck

At this stage thing where going good, but in the back of my head i couldnt figure out how the Clutch Went after only a easy 25K ???

after Digging for a month i found out what was Wrong,

when they changed the Clutch last, they used a s14 solid flywheel to replace the s15 Dual mass flywheel, this would have been ok if they fitted a 5speed gearbox,
but the spline from the 6 speed box is shorter than the 5 speed one, as a result the gearbox spline was bearly making full contact with the clutch and it had no spigot bush to rest on, so all the flex and play (and trust me there is alot of play in a sr20 box) was transfered to the Clutch disk

so now i have the proper flywheel on order it will be here next week and i can get abck on the Road

so while im waiting i Treated myself:
Well decided id splash out and get a GTS-T break set up, im not so happy with the fronts as id like something bigger but i know that when i get the car back up and running the s-body Front calipers will be seized again so i though my as-well treat myself and save the headache of trying to free them again

is everything i need here for the Conversion?

this will hopefully be her last weekend like this

Then Today:
what started out as a change the Front breaks to the Skyline ones got a bit out of hand today

Decided to Pull off everything and properly under seal inside the Arches, then decided to Strip the coilovers and Check everything and give them a good copper Grease again

cannot recomend this stuff enough, i copper Greased these 2 years ago and they came apart easy as today :wink:

Back to the Breaks... im Ordering Braided Lines off Driftworks... now i was told ill need GTST lines.. but the lines that came with my calipers are really Short

Compare to the S15 ones that are on the Inside of this Photo.

If im getting the lines should i be looking for s15 Front ones and R33 gtst Rear ones?
