Well I knew it would happen, and yes it did, sooner than expected (as seems the go with skylines) my clutch is ultra-f**ked.

Just to clarify, clutch slipping through normal driving is clutch failure correct? (IE: revs certainly dont = power anymore and the over present odour.... lol).

I want to know, is the best thing to do buy interstate clutch and then get it fitted here/ do it myself, or is there anywhere in adelaide I can get a clutch for ~550 dollars and then fit it myself/ cheap fitment around.

I'll be looking at a steady 240kw for quite some time and I found a few kits by a seller named "ROGUEPI" off ebay that use exedy parts for modified street/ occasional clutch dumper rb25 for up to 240kw @ 490 odd buckeroos.

Any help would be great, thanks.

go to exedy clutches at hindmarsh. ill try find the address...they will fix you up. Id fit it yourself, its not hard. Ill help you i dont mind, done it heaps and heaps of times. why pay someone to put it in for you and hammer the f*k outta your car. It'll only take one day outta your life.

Bl4ck32 and I had his (rb25t box on the back of his rb30det) box in and out within 2 hours with just axle stands a couple of jacks and a lump of wood.

Its not too difficult providing you have the correct tools, long extension bars etc etc.

BUT.. I think we were just lucky that day the box slid in on its first attempt.

I would recommend Adelaide clutch services at the Corner of South Road and Cormack Rd Wingfield.

They supply Extreme and Exedy clutches and they really know there clutches.

Have a talk to them and barter a little on the price of the clutch as tyou can usually get them down on price a little.

LOL when we changed my clutch took ages cause you need to spin the box 180 to get it out and the longest part was tryin to get it back just wouldnt go in then finally popped. not a job a reccomend without the right tools and a few strong guys.

We had to spin the box close to 90degree's so the starter motor bellhousing lump cleared the floor pan, we had a hydraulic trolley jack under the rear of the box tied up with rope so that it wouldn't slip when spinning the box. Doing that really made it easy to make the box square/level so that it slid in/out easy. To get the box back up we shoved a piece of wood under it levered it up then slid the jack under it then jacked up the box so that it was in the correct position, bit of of a wiggle and slide and pop in it went.

The car had a OS Giken Twin plate, I expected that to make it more difficult as not only do you have to ensure one plate is aligned you have to make damn sure 2 are aligned. :P

Which reminds me.. Damn.. My last rb20t box that smashed third gear, I was meaning to cut the input shaft off it to use as a clutch alignment tool. The plastic ones from the auto store are never as good as the real thing. :P

There used to be a bloke on Marion road right next to Specialty tuning who would do clutch installs for $250-$300.

Which isn't too bad I thought.

The rb25 box in the r32 is a tight fit, and yes u have to spin it as well to clear the starter hump then rotate it to fit it. Cubes and i did it in the 2 hrs he said. I have a clutch align tool (needed for the Os twin plate i have in) and it slipped the box straight in.

yeah if you get boostworx to do your clutch get him to whip out the pedal box and weld it up and you'll never have a problem with it

as for driving in car parks i havnt found a problem with the xtreme clutch that has a 850kg pressure plate

    • It's actually really good advice. And I do try to do it. I actually have 2x 3KG dumbbells that sit right beside where I sit. And I look at them a lot. Use them a little. But I'm trying to do more with it. At the moment I'm going through a heap of weight loss too which will help. I cracked into the 85kg mark this week. My weight used to have me sit consistently between 93 to 95KG! That definitely doesn't help. I've also got POTS, which flared up after I got slapped with COVID a few weeks back, and POTS really smashes fatigue and stuff into you, and has a thing even called "excercise fatigue". Basically even the minorest "excercise" (walking from the garage to the house) causes fatigue! And one of the treatments (Other than a med I'm on) is also... Excercise... Ha ha ha So it's why I'm trying to play the game of "might as well" and trying to push through things. For ADHD specifically, the general recommendation is "excercise". When you dig deep into it though, while any excercise is good, the best type is "explosive" excercise. So training for a sport like squash, tennis, even soccer. Things where you need to get the whole body able to "explode" into a different direction change. They've found with explosive sports, (I can't think of the proper term they have for it) that it actually makes the brain grow and become bigger in specific areas. The areas where ADHD causes those parts of the brain to be smaller than normal! But definitely, trying to push myself, and break those bounds mate, and get healthier!
    • Be more active mate.. , not taking the piss ❤️, your long term health will love you for it I would think something like a kettle bell or 2 laying around in areas you go past during the day would be awesome for ADHD.... "Oh look, a kettlebell", and exercise helps your brain health as well My mates son was a bit of a problem child, diagnosed wirh ADHD, and some other things that had his brain occasionally doing loops, until we got him into a training program, the difference after he started training was amazing, he had more focus, and his fitness levels exploded, it is like he is a totally different kid to be around Brain chemistry something something Stay fit stay strong mate
    • I had never actually looked into it, but aren't onboard compressors a thing in trucks?
    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
