Great thread Swordfish - exactly what I was looking for!

Slacks Creek Brake & Clutch (3808 8193) are supposed to have the Exedy heavy duty organic for less than $400 - but don't seem to have a lightened flywheel to go with it?

6.Slacks Creek Brake & Clutch (3808 8193)

Exedy Daiken Heavy Duty :$320 =+gst

(1,068kg rated also known as a ==> Nissan patrol Clutch)

watt ya think?

[Torrens]

Hot - too good to pass up.

I also have been in contact with Daiken / Exedy Australia. I asked for distributers in Brisbane and asked about lightened flywheels. Here's what I got back:

Start quote.

We do have lightened flywheels part no: ( NF01 ). The weight is 6.68kg. Made of billet chrome moly and ductile iron.

There are two heavy duty organic kits. First one is part no:

( R5028NHD ). Which is a new assembly the cover is pivot modified for increased clamp. The second one is part no:

( SKO-5028 ) Which is a factory heavy duty. The clutch plate has hi torque springs and premium facings.

You will have to purchase from one of our distributors.

Southside :

Slacks Creek Brake & Clutch : PH: 38088193

Northside:

Advanced Mobile Machining Service: PH: 0411157535

End quote.

From what I can tell, the first clutch described is the one to go for, I am currently confirming this with him. Will let you know.

How about we go for a bit of a dual purchase - maybe get it for a few bucks cheaper?

In all, I am a little confused - all I want is one of the Exedy heavy duty organic clutch and lightened flywheel - it's hard to get a straight answer so far.

Confirmation ****************

Slacks Creek Brake & Clutch : PH: 3808 8193

Both part no's above are nothing compared to the quality and price of a Nissan Patrol H/D clutch for $320.00

which fits straight up into the Skyliner.

1,068 kg rated and for the price come on......

Lightened flywheel is about $650 +gst

quick run down;

( R5028NHD ) = Sports Organic Clutch Kit. $490 + gst

(same pressue plate as Nissan Patrol one)

( SKO-5028 ) = Heavy Duty Clutch : $520 +gst

(915 kg rated...but a light pressure plate)

so none of these come close in price and quality compred to the Nissan patrol one.

Slacks Creek Brake & Clutch said if we buy 2X Nissan patrol Heavy Duty kits we can have them for........

ring me if u r still interested 0418 771 908

[Swordfish19792002]

Exedy = a Daikan Heavy Duty kit

[Swordfish19792002]

Just confirming these details with Gavin Wood at the moment.

Soon as I get confirmation I'll order the Clutch.

Although they only have one in stock and will have to order the other one.

s/f Will a patrol clutch fit a R33 gtr?

[Swordfish19792002]

It will only fit early GTR's 93 downwards.

Becuase late 93 onwards have the pull type clutch which wont' fit I think.

Ring Geoff at Slacks Creek Brake and Clutch

2. Installation, Gearbox oil, Fly wheel Machined, Spinnner bearing Replaced =$300.00 (Gavin Wood)

My car drives and changes 100 % better now. Doesn't crunch anymore.....heaps sensitive on the clutch though.

Clutch is still light to operate....pulls seconds and thirds harder !!
