You could die tomorrow, I say if you got the money and the means to build it the way you want go for it. Life’s goes by way to fast. That’s why we all work.

Well, the clutch parts are still sitting at customs in NY. Tracspec vents haven't shipped yet either. This is so much fun. LMAO.

You'll be Thumb Twiddling Champ in no time!

I feel for you. My car was suppose to go into Seb for tune today. It's still torn half apart at another shop.

I've been running into things non stop with my build too. It's best to care.... But not to care too much about time lines.

I have been so busy here lately I haven't thought too much about it.

Tracspec vents have shipped. Yeah!!!! Should be delivered on Monday.

If Customs would let go of my clutch parts soon this would be good.

Glad you have some distractions from the wait

My Trackspec vents have made it to MA. Still waiting on clutch parts. Jon is trying to track them down. They should have been there already.

Customs snatched your clutch

Don't know what happened. Jon is trying to find out. It should have been there already. I may of had a Rusty moment until they find
out how much money they lost. LOL

A border gang has it and holding it for ransom. :eek:

"That's a fancy tortilla press that el gringo ordered."

TracSpec vents installed and they look awesome. Look on Instagram for pics. ATS is tracking down the clutch parts. Ugg, It's a Rusty Moment. Once they find out how much it is worth, the package will show up.

Checked out the pics, looks great!

Dang clutch upgrade parts are going to be the death of me. I want to start driving. Jon is all over ATS. He is doing everything he can do. It's my chit that is such a pain in the butt.

So still hasn’t found your clutch.

It's being put to good use as a fancy tortilla press. :rofl2:

It's making Sushi cakes....

So now it has been ransomed to the Japanese Yakuza from the Mexikanemi. :eek:

Clutch parts are in as of today. Moving forward again. The Rusty moment is over.

Now you know what I went through. And it was like :wtf:

That's why I named it "The Rusty Moment".....

Waiting on a lift to open up to get the car back up in the air for the install. May not be until next week on Monday.

They found your clutch?

It showed up at MA's door. I guess they did. LMAO

Make sure they pick all the leftover masa out of it before they install it.

Well.........it now has shrimp, eel, and lots of RICE in it.

:owned:You forgot the fresh caught Tuna and seeweed rap.

Found it

Fingers crossed all goes well next week. I can see a little light at the end of the tunnel.

Me too

Clutch is going in today.

Someone finally interested in your bare block?

Lol nope!

Clutch is done. Rusty I am running the 1400kg pressure plate. The pedal pressure should be like stock or a little less from ATS's comments. It will support 1100hp and 800ft/lb of torque. Back to tuning shortly.

:tup:

That's almost a 3,100 lb pressure plate. That's stiff. I was using 3,800 lb pressure plates with my big blocks.

It's all about where the Fulcrum is on the external slave setup. Guess we will see if they are spewing BS or not when I drive it.


From ATS:

Description

ATS Spec II Triple Plate Carbon Clutch is intended for extreme powers as high as 1,200 hp (at the wheel). At the same time, we made half clutch operation even easier to control than it is for the carbon single/twin clutch. There is absolutely no need to worry about poor disengagement. The carbon disk weighs 210g and inertia weight is kept at a minimum, so that gear shifting is as quick as it is with a regular clutch. This is the ultimate clutch that is much longer-lasting than metal clutches, astonishingly strong because of our non-mesh random-weaving method, and will not be damaged by repeated severe driving.

With the introduction of Spec II, ATS successfully made the pedal effort lighter than stock (w/ 1,400kg clamping force) which has enhanced your driving comfort and pleasure immensely.

Equipped with the newly designed pressure plates & middle plate(s), Spec II can provide a very comfortable driving with much less pedal effort than before or offer a significantly higher torque delivery with the same pedal effort as the previous version.

The new version also offers more choices on the clamping rate from 1,100 kg . The Prospec II (Single carbon) w/ 1,600 kg clamping rate achieves the rated horse power of 390 at the wheel with a lighter pedal effort than the previous Prospec w/ 1,000kg clamping rate. Moreover, the Spec II twin carbon clutch w/ 2,300kg clamping rate is rated at a whopping 900 hp with the same pedal effort of the previous 1,350kg model. In 2010, ATS added Prospec II (Single carbon) 2,400kg which boasts 550 hp rating (at the wheel) with lighter than stock pedal effort.

I may be wishing I still had my 300zxtt with vaccum boosted clutch when it is all said and done. LMAO
