Hey,

I have been quoted $790 for a billet lightened flywheel (5.5-5.9kg depending on what I want) and a organic clutch plate with a 2600lb pressure plate (I chose 2600 so as not to be too heavy under foot - and apparently this set up is still good for 350hp at the wheels??)....is this a good price?

This is only for supply as I will fit myself. It's from Nick's Clutches/Archerfield.

All comments Appreciated

Steve

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 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)??

This setup works out to be $320 and is much cheaper than the $430 for the clutch I was quoted, but the the flywheel price jumps to $510 so I may miss out on the flywheel - don't know yet

PLEASE HELP!

I can't say much about the flywheel but I got my clutch from Doug @ Nick's Clutches and it's awesome.

I'm pretty weak and I got a 3000poung pressure plate organic clutch and it's not heavy at all. I love it. It's heavy at first when your not used to it, but I would never go back to anything else.

I do know however not to go to the guy that Doug recommends to put the clutch in. The wanker didn't replace my throw out bearing because I didn't ask. It's like a $2 part and he didn't even bother to ring and ask me. So I now have a nice throw out bearing noise :) (Amongst other noises >:| )

But yes, Nick's clutchs are good. I'm over the moon with my clutch. Not too heavy on the foot and I can still ride it if need be. Great for launches.. Ask anyone who's been in my car =)

Have you spoken to Jay?? I was at Gavin Woods on Friday when he came in to ask about the clutch. Gavin said they can fit but there's a lot of mucking aorund with the pedal height and stuff.

I bought my clutch (as stated about 3000 pound pressure plate, organic clutch) for around the $300 mark. Can't remember the exact price, but it cost all up of $600 to put it in.. But also as I stated above, don't go to the dude at the Caltex up the road on Beaudesert Road. Dodgy. As.

4 Doorz, ring them back and ask to speak to Doug. Say that Erin with the White R33 and the turbo laser told you to ring. See if he will knock some $$ off the price.

I did ring and say someone else sent me there, but its only been about 6 months since I got my new clutch and about 2 since we got the Laser's clutch done.

If he can't remember, just say my clutch was 3000 pound and the laser's clutch was improved from 800 pound to 1860 pound. He should remember that one :D

i just got exedy heavy duty daikien clutch from ABS BRAKE AND CLUTCH in slacks creek. i paid total of $560 (however they usually sell for like $690) ... some places quoted me as much as $980. ABS BRAKE AND CLUTCH helped me out heaps, comes with 12 months warranty. give them try. the guy i chatted to Brent/Brett (cant remember which name it was) beat the cheapest prices i found. so yeah try them..

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
    • Twas your car many moons ago that gave me the idea!
