looks good mate, how did your collector turn out?

 

[edk]

Eddie asked for the whole collector section of this thread to be removed so might not have used it anymore.

Can get thoes pipes in purple if u like

See my thread

 

[white_biscuit]

Good choice. Purple is a rich colour, an overkill would look SHIT!

I recall mongo_tunned didn't fit that particular spacer because of this, fingers crossed works as per Rowdy's advice though.

Try Rowdys way first, but if not I just left that stud out completely as the one next to it holds the manifold on, no leaks.

That is extremely lazy! Glad it came out as well as it did really.
I closed off the ends of the box section with 1mm plate then zinc primed it on the top before welding. Then zinc primed the whole lot, PU sealed and then undersealed the whole floor pan. Should see the rust of for a little while now. Nice to meet you today Eddie. Cars looking good chassis-wise. Lots of little upgrades all over.

Nice work there Spook and good thinking Eddie

Car too low to get jack under wishbones or anywhere else substantial so now having a beefy solid sill can jack it at any point without worry.

Not thought about driving up a few bits of 4x2?

Have you told the insurance company? :lol:

ACT clutch all the way eddie! more expensive than XTD, but will do the job infinately better.

[inahole]

Had a ACT clutch on the previous car, served me well did lots of runs at shakeys and lots of hard driving... seems lots of different types for the SR20 which is cool

Better to go with ACT rather then Gpsec ones that Sam is always raving about?

depends on your plans really...

i cant really comment on Gspec clutches, but an ACT held back dave bulls, speaks volume tbh!

 

[RAJackson]

Having owned both ACT HDSS and GSpec, the ACT pedal was alot stiffer and the clutch grabbed a bit harder with a lightened flywheel, wasnt fun in stop start traffic, the gspec was marginally stiffer than stock that made engaging it alot easier/smoother and was alot more manageable in general driving, never had it slip once with over a dozen hard drag launches and lots of flat shifting abuse.

After removing the ACT the disc was deemed not good for use as the springs had become very loose, then theres Joe's ACT that spat its springs out... but then its hit and miss with clutches craigs gspec spat it springs out, but mine and Mo (VZ-aaahs) have been fine, I have no hesitations for putting it back in the N1

sure it was an XTD that joe spat springs out.

 

[mera red gti]

standard nissan clutch or exedy OEM clutch id go for, decent break in period and your set

 

[Liam]

Dont get a solid hub clutch. Its either on OR off. No feathering the pedal, just all balls drag launches. Personally ill be getting an ACT, purely after reading the reviews and opinions of both ACT and Gspec and after having an XTD in the last N16.

 

[SuperDan]

My xtd clutch is Unsprung and is fine to drive as a daily, also it's had many launches thought it and flat shifting and is still solid
