My clutch is slipping, not when u engage the clutch but mainly from 2500rpm onwards.

Can anyone recommend a clutch to use and how much approx ?

(Genuine Nissan or other clutches)

Who do u recommend to do the installation?

Has anyone tried to take the gearbox out yourself if u have your car on jack stands ? (or do u need hoist)

Or leave it to the professionals ?

Immigrant performace at Labrador, Gold Coast quoted $930 for clutch and installation.

But Dane said the clutch they use is a heavy duty performace one they have designed themselves which can take 3000 pounds of torque.

Anyone have any experiences with this guy?

Mine Fried on Tuesday...Speak to Gavin Woods. He knows his stuff. Prices seem reasonable for Clutches. He has a couple of different options. Mine will cost me about 900ish installed for a Daikin (his recommendation)...

Call 07 5529 2313

As soon as I come up with the cash I'll be going in to get it fixed...

i got a heavy duty daikin put into my r33 gts-t with flywheel spin, gearbox oil etc. etc. etc. for a total of $560 ... by ABS brake and clutch in Slacks Creek they r awesome. But i did bargain ALOT with them ... but they r good blokes, So yeah if u wanna go to them, tell them Bryan with the vandalise skyline recommended u ... and they'll do u good deals.

HEY!

This is an question that needs to be answered urgently.

I've been told that Nissan patrol clutch bolts up to my skyline by one guy (with 2300lb pressure plate) however another place told me that, that set up means that the plate engages really close to the floor.

Those of you who have this set up (including bryanlee and swordfish) is that correct? And if so how different to normal (is it engaged 1 cm off the floor with the rest of the pedal a waste)??

PLEASE HELP!

4 Doorz,

Now the Nissan Patrol Clutch is the same as any other new clutch.

If it's new then yes it will release early on the clutch.

My clutch is release about 2-3 cm off the floor.

Its not a hard clutch either.

My girlfriend drove it around one day and she didn't notice the difference.

I do recommend u speak to Geoff at Slacks Creek and Gavin Wood at Labrador.

He will tell u also...no different.

If u come to the skyline cruise on Sat I will be there and if u want u check the clutch out.

Not too brag or anything,

but I showed Gavin Wood at Labrador this Exedy Nissan Patrol Clutch from Slacks Creek.

So he knows all about and he fitted it on my car.

Tell him Gossy with the silver Skyline Gtst had u fit it.

I was quoted $572 fot a more stanhdard H.Duty Daikin, and $644 for an uber h.duty Daikin (SKR) that would be more suitable for my use...These prices are WAY over what you guys are posting. Why?

Thanks dood. I just skim sometimes, and so miss a bit. The prices I got were from Gavin Woods, but I'll dig and see what's available. I don't really understand the difference between clutches, compounds etc, so I'll end up getting taken for a ride :P

Seriously ALL OF U WHO wants to get NEW CLUTCHES - go to 'ABS brake and CLutches' talk to brett, he's awesome. I did bargain a bit but mine cost a total of $560 - EXEDY HEAVY DUTY CLUTCH INSTALLED (includes machine flywheel, gear box oil etc.) THey did a fabulous job, clutch feels awesome, AND IT COMES WITH 12 MONTHS WARRANTY.

BEWARE!!! MOst places if u buy a clutch and bring it to ANOTHER workshop to fit, they cannot guarantee the clutch, because they did not personally order the product. I was gonna do that, but ABS BRAKE AND CLUTCH match that price of me buying the clutch and getting it fitted. Better off now u can get that warranty

the clutch I'm using now feels great. its a tad shorter and heavier then the stock r33 gts-t one i had. CLoser to the ground thats about it. So far I've only stalled it once this week :D BUT ITs AWESOMe

ABS BRAKE AND CLUTCH = SAY BRYAN - WITH THE VANDALISE MAROON SKYLINE. and Brent (or brett) I cant really remember, he's the guy who will fix u up with an awesome PRICE. U may have to pay few dollars more, because i did bargain the hell outta him, and showed him my vandalise skyline kekekek. GO THE SAD STORY APPROACH!

cheers

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
