First time I've actually heard of this...

How exactly did the pressure plate explode? Could it be that it was the flywheel at all?

Do you have any pics of teh damage?

I've heard of the ring gear coming off the flywheel.

Sore the damage on a skyline..... cut steering, exhaust, firewall etc... was a mess....

Never heard of a pressure plate exploding though..

KNow a guy who had the same thing happen on hi b18c... they welded and re tapped one or two mounting holes where the bellhousing bolts broke them
(also took out about a third of the bellhousing)
