sounds bout right, 70 beans to machine the flywheel if sent out. we charge anywhere between 300 and 500 depending on car, whether it has exhaust/extractors in the way, if its 4wd etc etc etc. what have you been quoted?

mate PM slide, hes on the gold coast (i think) and ive read somewhere that he can do them for $310 which includes flywheel machining and gearbox oil change, which is pretty damn good IMO. i paid $280 btw, but im in sydney.

ive been quoted about 350-470 (more likely 470) as i am getting a jim berry clutch and he want the gasket changed on the gearbox i think and that means oil aswell and a spriget bearing, the flywheel will already be machined as jim is doing that.

Who does slide work for, I will have a triple plate clutch for sale soon :D

not really fussed if there is someone cheaper to save a few $$$ as bel garage are pretty damn good and they do all my work, i can trust em, lets jus hope they dont have another break in :santa::D

Quick update for me....

Was quoted $470 for a company on the Central Coast, went thru them today and was charged $403.70

Very happy

Got the cushion/button from slide.

I was worried about the clutch pressure as it's my everyday commuter to syd and back.

It's now twice as EASY to press down.

Rang em when i got home thinking they'd put the wrong one in but he said that's normal and said it was the semi/button they put in.

Apparently the newer ones are getting made better or something along those lines.

But anyway, i'm stoked ! Better clutch, no more slipping, cheaper than expected, and easier to drive...Sewwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeett !!

:D

Quick EDit:

Everything i said positive about this clutch i take back, it's a piece of shit and is slipping, since day 1.

Now 3 weeks later it needs replacing. Total crap.

By the way, i'm not the only one.

good stuff, I ended up getting my bearings done in my gearbox, syncro's deglazed (was going to replace then but they were pretty new) and the new clutch in for $800.00 at A1 Gearbox and Diff at the goldcoast, very happy :D

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
