Nice bit of info there............thks

the clutch you have isn't for a KA24 (240sx) s13 is it? if so you can make it fit with a bit of careful hole slotting

[datdrift]

the clutch might well be for a ka24, ive been trying to think what else it could have been for, and that sounds very possible?? heres a couple of pics of it, the first one its under a standard s12 cover, flush at the top to show its sliightly bigger, and the second is of it on a s12 flywheel, the 2 top dowels are lined up and that pushes the other one out this much.....so i might have to try some careful slotting on all the holes? i was just gonna do this before, but dident want to unbalance the fly.....

also i might as well pull the sump off and clean the bottom end, and maybe have a look at fitting the det crank girdle?

[turbomike]

good idea really,ive found engines with partly blocked strainers before and you can get rid of any crap in the bottom of the sump too

I wouldnt take the sump off if I was you. Your engine is very clean inside anyway, so I wouldn't worry about it.

I think being a high rev drifter your engine would be more likely to throw a rod then have an issue with the crank.

yeah maybe, what do you think i should set my rev limit to when drifting? at the moment i have it around 6k normally....cos thats where it redlines, but on bb turbo's and mk2 silvias the solid redline tends to start at 6,500?
