13.0 but needs clutch :(

[Ondonti]

13.0 6g72 Sundance Duster - Video
Clutch was slipping bad but still got some decent 60's on my 2nd and 4th passes. Was pretty pissed that the clutch kept me out of the 12's. I ran the 13.0 and then upped the boost a little and ran slower because the clutch slipped worse.


Camera battery almost dead so i didn't spend time getting a pic that is readable when downsized.

Hurry up and get a clutch damnit!

Should scream when you get her right. For reference, when I was cutting 5.1x 330s I was running 8.0s in the 1/8 at 90, with worse 60s, so you'll be in the 12s for sure.

Clutch looks dry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But look how dead it is! Its been spinning hardcore! I am amazed it was still running 13.0 last friday!
down to the rivits. Clutch only has 500 miles and almost all of that is freeway.

Hmm, improper break-in maybe?

good times. sorry to hear about the clutch.

Hmm, improper break-in maybe?

nah, race clutches dont require breakin, just a few hard slips and they are done.

Wouldnt be very useful to buy race clutches that need to be broken in. Supra was at the track last friday night with a brand new $5000 Tilton triple plate with zero miles

Yeah I was just messin' with ya You got a new one on the way?

I mailed off the clutch and PP to Clutchnet to put new pucks on the disc and see what they think about the plate.

The friction disc for my Fidanza...I dont really know how long that will take. I was trying to cancel my order with one of our vendors because I found #229501 shipped for 55 dollars @ horsepowerparts.com but I have to wait to monday to make sure it didnt ship (if it did then I dont really care because that means I get it sooner).

The supra ran his first 10. He swapped from auto to 6 speed and he is practicing his burnouts and launches. He wont be back to the track for about a month now because they booted him for no Cage.
He is buddies with WOTM (Cody Phillips tutors him at the track) so he has plenty of 8 second supra help.

I blew out the replacement. The Valeo pressure plate that clutchnet sells is just junk.

My replacement from TU, still using 3 puck disc.

Opened up the package that was just sent to me. Happy to see it arrive before dyno day saturday.
New plate has 4 straps
Less straps = dead plate on a minor miss-shift.

Very excited to have a clutch that will handle some boost. I might have things turned up to 16psi or near that for saturday's dyno day with the nissan club I will be tagging along with.

Im gonna pull the boost controller on my first run to get a 6psi wastegate baseline pull.

Sweet dude, be sure to get vids.

We wanted to but starter ground popped off and something died in the electrical system. No power to injectors or coil. Swapped computers and relays. No luck.

Clutch holds. No doubt there. 3300# plate.
