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

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.

Excellent work! My poor baby has to go back in there soon to get my box rebuilt.

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? :rofl:

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

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

dont worry dude had the same problem when i did mine i had to put the box in and out five times and then it worked :)

    • As GTS mentioned, it takes a bit of faffing, some fiddling and a little modifying.  With the strainers, you can buy different styles. Some sit flat on the pump, some angle down.  Here are some photos of mine, ignore the ugly welds lol. 
    • The smart thing is to actually locate the pump at the right point down the hanger, so that the strainer can stay sticking out at a right angle, but near the bottom. This is the perpetual hassle with retrofitting any different pump to the factory hanger. Some just go where you need it to, some need fiddling and faffing, and modifying of stuff.
    • Some updates. After a lot of praying and some inspecting of crank threads, we've found that they were both kinda munted but nothing seemed terminal. The other option was drilling and helicoiling the crank. That is obviously the last option so we decided to at least try to get a OEM GM bolt in to GM Specs. So after honing/linishing the balancer from it's .002" interference fit to a .0018" to .0015" to .0013" it eventually slotted on to the crank. ATI state the interference is nominally 0.0007-0.0009... so it's still snugger than ATI reckon and explains the issues we had to fit the thing to begin with. New GM bolt went in at 37 ft/lb then torqued 140 degrees after which was EXTREMELY   but it tightened up to 140 degrees and it was a lot of force. So all things considered, the balancer is secured to the exact specs that GM want with the OEM Stretch bolt, (that ATI say you can use..) and the balancer itself is seated and snug AF. So WOO. Engine is now back in the car with lots of swearing. Bellhousing bolts done up, driver side manifold is on, AC Compressor and hard lines are back on the car. Next step will be to connect various engine bits/wiring/intake/radiator etc. Then oil and coolant and ... test start it? And of course, looking into this issue... which actually doesn't look so bad - It looks like it can be twisted back into shape with a set of multigrips. Anyone wanna buy my bonnet? Boy it looks good over there and sunk cost sucks.
    • Also this may be a stupid question, but how would you recommend getting the strainer on a downwards angle ? as they tend to obviously clip to the bottom of the pump which usually sits level 🥴
