560 build thread

Has anyone had problems rubbing rotor when changing components on 5 lug? At first it was my caliper bracket, not it seems something else is rubbing. Was crunching when hard braking

check your dust shields

 

[clevr4]

Bingo. Thanks

Learned a fun fact, 560 has a 4 bolt rear /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Ha, was it me that told you that up on Skyline drive? I remember saying that to my buddy to tease him a bit in his 90 GSX. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif

 

[clevr4]

Yeah, but i looked under there while tweaking my exhaust and sure enough. "Viscous lsd" label /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Doesn't automatically make it a 4 bolt. I have 3-bolt LSD under mine. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

You're cold iceman. Maybe further inspection is needed. I read the differences and what to look for but no picture evidence. I need pictures lol

What the hell was mitsubishi thinking when they made the clutch switch to start? Why wouldn't they just have a solid clutch arm instead of that circle? What goes in the circle? I must get a replecemnt because I looked stupid the other day. I stalled on a hill, had to get out of car to turn car back on. My penny and duct tape didn't hold up

Bruh, just unplug it.

 

[GSTwithPSI]

^This. That's the first thing I do.

 

[Fiascoxl]

"four bolt" refers to the axle cups attached to the hub fyi, and you most certainly have them.

 

[clevr4]

Unplugging deletes the clutch to start? I mean I get it if someone else uses your car is nice. But I press the clutch anyways while starting unless I'm working on it. Then I just check if in gear

 

[GSTwithPSI]

Yes, simply unplugging the connector disables it.

You want to disable it because when starting the car, you're putting unnecessary pressure on the crank thrust bearing. Not to mention, the thrust isn't fully lubricated on initial startup. For the most part, the clutch switch is just a typical factory safety feature required for a production vehicle to be sold to the masses. Unless you're using it to enable NLTS or something, it's worthless. If you want to ensure longevity, unplug that sh*t.

Took the galant on a road trip, 260 miles round trip. Filled up and my gas mileage was 27mph. 27.4 to be exact. I was pretty amazed by that.

Fixed an exhaust clamp that wasn't holding tight, everytime I pulled hard the pipe would pop off. She's running great

 

[clevr4]

I'll add a picture. But what the hell is the port all the way to left of the valve cover. is it emissions stuff? Can I block it? It seems I have an air filter there. But oil comes through it? Gayyy

 

[transparentdsm]

its a breather port. get a catch can, go from that port to the can and from the can to the intake tube. you can not cap it.

Is there a way to save this oil? Seems like a waste

 

[transparentdsm]

the oil that is coming out is not savable nor is it a waste that its coming out.
