Clutch Replacement

[Rozza]

ok so ive gotten a million and one quotes on how much replacing the clutch in my GTR is going to be labour wise, but my problem is noone i talk to seems to know much about the car itself. Does anyone know a good place to take my car around sydney area?

[Abo Bob]

Yes we do. Please do a search for "workshop".

I am getting mine replaced and got quoted $300 for 350z including gear oil

ooer interesting did you find an aftermarket clutch for the z? first time I changed mine i had to go standard nissan.

And you must change the flywheel as well. it is dual mass and will blow up sooner or later which means box out again anyway.

For the GTR clutch....where are you? there are lots of sydney workshop threads. And I've got a clutch for sale that would suit

im in north sydney, and wouyld be interested in buying a clutch for sure, just need a standard one until i upgrade everything down the track heh.

yea going to powerplay. so much difference in quotes though, its amazing. the places that did not know gtr's were like need your car for like 2 days and 800 dollars for labour. powerplay said about 300 for labour and 2 and a half hours haha.

Yeah $300 is a good price and i got quoted from 2 places same price. Some places may need your car for 1 day simply because its xmas time and everyone wants their car back before xmas. Anyways good luck

getting a heavy duty clutch installed at northern beaches performance today in my 33 gtst, think they qouted about $300 for approx 2-3 hours work. would highly recommend them, and it would be alot closer than drummoyne.

why don't you just get a heavy duty clutch if you're planning on upgrading down the track?

[Rozza]

yea im getting a heavy duty put in. took it into powerplay this morning. tried northern beaches but couldnt get hold of anyone, wanted it done right away heh.

[Rozza]

so they put the clutch in but cant get it to engage and they have no idea why.....had to happen to me lol, my car is cursed

[MANWHORE]

northern beaches performance are top blokes. very honest and good at what they do.

trent can be a bit hard to get a hold of. Sam will usually pick up his phone or call you back if he misses you.

[mesmerized]

got my Exedy 5 puk button kit installed by trent last week, it's awesome, so light and easy to use. was expecting something very heavy and a bitch to use in traffic

if you're having trouble getting a hold of northern beaches performance on the landline, try trent's mobile (on website). quite often he's got an air compressor going or something and can't hear the phone.

and i think he mentioned sam isn't working there anymore

[rio228]

i would agree northern beaches performance good shop and trent is the guy that took me to Hitmans and i am way happy with his tunes.
