you should have pulled up the e-brake and freakin roasted the front tires.

I was thinking about it but I thought that might be pushing it just a little but I really love the look of the 6-speed shifter just like the one in the skyline, oh yea I ordered that clutch today get it tomorrow and put in on friday how long should I break it in?

With the hellish torque the 3.5 generates you don't even need the e-brake.

I think the break in period for the car was 500-1,500 miles or so. Just be sure to go easy on the clutch...no clutch dropping, hammering, or high-rev shifting for two or three gas tanks worth. It's not that hard to follow. A friend of mine never bothered breaking in his car or his clutches...went through three clutches in 15 months.

ACT says 300 miles but to be on the safe side 500 miles. i broke mine with 300 some what easy miles. i suggest taking it easy for no less than 400 miles. let me know what you think after the install.

yup.. I drove easy on mine for about 500 miles, and it still grabbed like a bitc* for the first 1500 miles or so. after about 2-3000 miles, it smoothed out quite a bit. I've got about 6000 on it now and it's very nice... I can chew up second and bark 3rd.. I've ruined a set of stock engine mounts in the first 3000 miles on it. installed a new set and now I've got ridiculous amounts of wheel hop.
I'm waiting until it warms up so I can fill my old set with urethane and drop them back in the car.
