This piece looks really nice, and it is super tempting for me. There are a few things I have beef with:
  • How does it affect the wear on the already crappy syncros we have in that gearbox?
  • The shift knob isn't the same thread pitch as the standard one, so i wouldn't be able to use my fancy custom Ti knob from Lathewerks

In other news, My wheels should be here today, the rear tires should be here tomorrow, and i have a clutch master going out on me again (thankfully I knew this would happen and bought a new OEM one years ago and stored it inside.)

I realize they have a Tilton one out now for our cars, but considering I just emptied a good portion of my bank account, i'll just have someone install the OEM one for now.

Edit: Also going to Winding Road Racing for the car's first ever corner balance.

RJM (not RJ Manufacturing) has a heavy duty clutch master cylinder :twocents:

I'll be interested to hear about your experience at Winding Road Racing :tiphat:

LOL i'm aware (it's tilton branded so i went with that)

Also WR is pretty good with the work they do. Sometimes i get the impression some of the techs are "disinterested" in working on the car if it's minor crap (like flushing my clutch pedal), but maybe that's how I'm interpreting it. i'm closer to them than SoulSpeed at the moment (like cycling distance), so while I had an excellent experience with SS, they're way out of the way.

I'm likely going to RoundRock Nissan to get the master replaced b/c i have a coupon on my counter lol.

Finally!

I only did a rough weight estimate of the rear 19x11. Just under 18 pounds.

No idea if extra wear, as far as the knob, just get another custom one made with the 12 x 1.5 thread adapter. :tup: :icon17:

You got it lol:excited:

I haven't had any issues with 660 for the brakes on the street, but my car is biased more towards track use. I till use 600 for the clutch.

edit: Jar you cheeky bastard. I see what you did.

JARblue 03-29-2019 11:27 AM

The trade off for the higher boiling point of the 660 is that it collects moisture content a bit quicker than the 600. So the question is whether a higher boiling point or a longer fluid change interval is more important to you.
