Oohhhhh, NISMO copy... I've got true NISMO ones. These are a must people I've broken 3 of these with STOCK clutches. The hardened one seems to be holding up well with my stage three though...

Z32's go through them like candy sometimes.

And no we don't have uprated forks, sorry.

How do you break the pivot ball? Does it just wear down or what... and can it be changed without a transmission pull?

Ok, if you look at it there is a "head" on it. That is what breaks off. And no, I don't think you can change it with out pulling the transmission.

Yeah, in all fairness this is something I'd suggest ordering when you do a clutch swap.

Yep, but the pucks are more than many need. Other things like to bust with pucks.

everytime i change gear, the rpm would continue to climb like it was in neutral, but it doesn't go as fast. while the rpm goes up fast, the car still accelerate but slowly then it would catches and act normal. its like the clutch is slipping but only when i change gear. it happen only one time per gear.

Sounds like you need to bleed the line.
