[Davey Boy]

Well finally got the best prices around for a quality clutch kit and DM flywheel.
Had the call this morning. It's all in for collection!
You'll never guess from where?:augie

[Davey Boy]

Well done Doug!
Yep all from Missan Exeter.
I phoned them just for a laugh, and was already to spend £1100 on a flywheel elsewhere, but the guy gave me trade terms on everything required which meant in particular the Genuine Nissan Dual Mass (Exedy) flywheel was £403 +vat. :clap
Flywheel stretch bolts are a rip-off at £9+vat each though, and seven are required!
Will replace the main output oil seal while it's all out to.

RESULT :thumb2 and a bit of extra peace of mind I suppos

It started to slip in most gears. So time was up.
The last flywheel was fitted in 2009 looking at the paperwork.
Not a bad innings.

I think mine has had a replacement clutch, it doesn't slip unless I turn the magic dial too far so its good for now, probably be putting a 3.0 one in when I start playing with turbos n stuff :sly

I'm listening :naughty

 

[Davey Boy]

Yeah, magic dial??:sly

 

[terranosaurusdoug]

Yeah, magic dial??:sly

:lol Basically....well exactly really... a variable resistor spliced into a fuel pump wire which lets me add extra fuel by turning a little knob. I'm pretty sure it lets a fuel limiting ring travel further than it usually would. I leave it set in one position usually, giving me a bit extra all the time but I can turn it more when needed, and if I crank it up and floor it it makes a big black cloud, especially if engine speed is low, great for when the chavs are driving a wee bit close :sly

I've been wanting to hybrid my turbo for a while and allmost did untill I realised mine wasn't knackered so I left it alone, I've since discovered turbos that have ball bearing journals n stuff so might replace turbo for a bigger one, might not be too expensive and I'm gonna make my own zorst anyway, turbo whistle??...oh yes

 

[Davey Boy]

All done boys and girls!
Clutch and flywheel fitted.
Great to feel the power under the pedal again.

 

[jims-terrano]

Good stuff, great feeling getting something fixed like that isn’t it.

Yes Jim,
The job took a big chunk of money,and fingers crossed this installation should last a long while. To feel the difference from doing the work is a great reward.:thumb2

 

[Blocky10]

Must say Dave yours must be the best most well treated patrol I've ever seen. I'm sure it will be all good and money well spent:thumb2
