I dont know your real name so i just gotta call you enuo em i see what you mean , only thing being untill its finished and i insure it as a classic i havnt really driven it so itll be a matter of learning how its gonna work and feel from the start

Tbh its just a case of more gentle pulling away. Gentle on revs and throttle until its engaged then gun it
I'm Andy aswell just to confuse matters. Enuo is fine mate

 

[padraicR]

I get you
And because of the lightened flywheel theyve got to be fast changes too

So now all i gotta do is thank andy's haha

 

[padraicR]

Was either drunk or extremely tired lastnight when i though altentor was direct fit in place of a/c pump , but ah well it wont be hard ill make up a bracket and maybe flip the altenator so i can still use the same adjuster rail

 

[padraicR]

Will any other paddle pressure plate fit from another nissan ? Only ones i see on ebay are 4 paddle , full kit and its 380 wuro inclhding postage , cant afford that ,

 

[h701micra]

Providing the spline is the same and the overall diameter of the clutch are the same I'd say it would fit

just fit a hybrid LUK clutch like mine padraic (loads of info on here) the paddle clutches simply use a very abrasive compound to achieve grip.
the options for the k10/preface 1.0 k11 160mm clutch are very limited

 

[padraicR]

I think i might just put a standard kne in , it would take a while for me to gather about 300 to get sorted with clutch , unless i can find one for 150 or less i wont , i just cant afford on my wage ha , ill keep a look out and if i can afford i will

 

[pork]

+1 on the hybrid, is easy to do (eventually)

Mind you, brand new LUK ma10 clutch held up on my turbo ma10, running 6psi

 

[padraicR]

Ill look at your blog where you dont the clutch and make a decission , i have a few days yet i dont want to buy one till im back from england this weekend

 

[padraicR]

So havn'nt updated in a while ,
Have done a bit since , but had a really bad christmas so been hard to focus on much .
So
Lightened flywheel
New clutch

Relocated altenator so whenever i do turbo its that nasty job i hated doing already done,

New ignition , lumention high powered coil and leads ,

And a general clean up , got to get it back in car very soon

[padraicR]

Hadnt time to raise suspension tonight , also halogen lamp makes paintwork appear oranage in photos for some reason

 

[pork]

I'd leave as it is! Looks great

 

[Neil Byrne]

Leave it like that

 

[padraicR]

Hahaha if i left it like that i could steer an inch in either direction lol the place archs inside are just about sitting on top of them , and tyres are soft , id rather have a little clearance tbh

 

[Neil Byrne]

There looks to be some clearance there tho

 

[padraicR]

Thats how far in a piece of paper goes theres no space at all , ill be raising her plenty

 

[Sdperkins]

Just roll the arches and youll be fine!!! Looks sweet!

 

[padraicR]

No i wont touch archs id like to leave them original, i dont like doing that kind of thing to bodywork personally , i dont think ill have to not fully certain yet though , ill test it tomorrow

 

[Dwarf]

Try 175 50 15 tyres

 

[padraicR]

So after a time away from working on the k10 im back, i sold the bbs's and for the same money i bought some rota gt3's, but i have to put tyres on them, they were 195/50/15 so i went with 175/55 with some stretch, just have to get some parts and get the car tested, then its turbo time

 

[Belly93]
