Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 Cheers for the comments lad except that Wallace bloke! Well since I fitted the OS Giken clutch the pedal has been right at the bottom which I thought was normal for that clutch but after 35,000 miles and hours of dyno time it had got to the point I could not get gears at all, So I pulled the box today and this is what I found! this clutch was apparently a factory recon that I very much doubt now! This is the friction plate notice the gap between the ruler and the drive spline hub, the hub should be higher than the face of the disc! its like a bowel!! Same for the pressure plate disc! That should be flat! So into the lathe it went! I used the tool grinder in the lathe to grind the surface flat. This is a spare plate I had for the clutch on the pressure plate side of the disc you could see it had only been working on the first 10mm of the outside edge of the disc, this is how I know the clutch must have been like this before I fitted it to my car!! but at least this one was flat still! you can see the ruler sits on the drive hub NOT the outside edge of the disc. So I put it all back together and its like a new car!! I dont need half as much travel to clear the gears and the bite point is where it should be now! Im going to order some new parts for the clutch now I know what was wrong with it but at least now I know it will get me to japfest!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Patches Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Awesome build! What's the switch for dude? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 Cheers mate!The switch is for the traction control mate so it will run different modes ie wet, dri and so on, it may have othere functions too but thats what its main job is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TimD Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Wont you need to retrofit ABS for traction control? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 No mate its all done through the speed sensor on the drive shaft and the aem ecu same as the boost by gear and launch control, we have had it working already but going to set it up so its stepped for different conditions.

TimD Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Interesting.. How does it work then, just lower boost or adjust timing, or..? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 It adjusts the timing and boost or just the timing or just the boost lol we will see what suits the car best and use that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
