hey all i just got a quote for a clutch, supply and install, from a reputable northern suburbs workshop.

its for an r32, i asked for an HD one and the guy i spoke to quoted $745

i asked him what brand they use, and he said,

for that one, they make their own clutch kit up with parts from extreme amoung others,

so i said whats it rated to, he asked me is it for a gtr or gts, so i told him its for a gts-t and his response was oh should hold 250, up to 300, as long as you drive normal.

so what do you guys think does this sound right

or should i buy one off slide (HD 240rwkw) and get them to fit that one??

atm my cars pretty stock but i want to have the abillity to be able to run about 170-200kw, if one day i decide that i want a bit more

a single heavy duty should hold 200rwkw

if you ride it like a whore and launch the crap out of it though, it wont last forever so keep that mind

speak to a few places and compare prices. about 3 years i got a single heavy duty supplied and fitted for an r33 for $1200.

its now at the stage of being replaced and is slipping. its been to a few motorsport days (deca's) and has been to heathcote as well.

Excedy HD for the Evo was about that price. The labour for me was about the same again plus flywheel and AYC Fluid so came to about $1500 all up. Not sure on labour or what is required on skylines so price could vary on that component unless you can install yourself.

I would also shop around as there are a few in workshops that would do this, try the Workshop sticky. :D

I seriously doubt a clutch for that price would hold 300 (kw i'm assuming). As Paul Said I would not use one of those clutches for anything other than a street car with 210kw or less.

If your gonna go much above that power levlel, or will be using the car for any motorsport invest in a tougher clutch (Jim Berry, Nismo, Os Giken) as if you dont you will fry you cheapy and will need to buy the more expensive one later anyway.

Buy the price seems about right for a cheap HD clutch.

just ask a few workshops what they use and recommend

ive heard of a few "single" cheap $400 clutches that suit upto 300rwkw only they slip at 200rwkw

so just double check and ask questions - you cant go wrong

that price sounds fairly decent to me.... if not very good!! i payed 900 for my hd clutch on rb20det vl.... flywheel needed alot of grinding.. said it would hold 240rwkw... its done well so far.... thank god your not going for a button clutch. 1800 plus fitting on the gtr :D

sounds like a pretty decent clutch u've got dezz

mlyf16 thanks for the info but like i said i cant be botthered anymore and its already booked anyway

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      By cabramatta · Posted

      Might piggy back off this thread since there's been a good discussion about PWM.   I purchased a Walbro 460 F90000267 and have been looking into PWM to understand it. It was purchased more of a future proof as my original OEM fuel pump died (r33 below 200kw) and figured I'd just upgrade it to this. That's when it hit me that a pump this big can cause more dramas with such high amperage draw and heating of the fuel pump being on 100% all the time in such a mild setup.   I have a Nexus R3 and slowly collecting power mods but I was looking into the PWM feature on the NSP software:   Then looking at the graph from the fuel pump:     Am I safe to assume reducing duty cycle to 50% for example would make the pump run like a 230/lph ? Where does the PWM come in all of this ?   I've gone down the rabbit hole of PWM fuel pumps and it seems there are many differing opinions on how to go about it 😅

      That specific one would be an exchange part, meaning I'd have to send mine to them. Plus it looks like a non AWD sump, which won't work for me. There is one or two shops in my country that I can ask to do a sump extension job and it'd most likely end up being cheaper than sending mine to AUS or NZ and getting one back, and quicker too.

      Rear turbo is leaky, most likely at the oil drain. From what I could see with my boroscope it seemed to have seeped out at the very top of that return hose. Is it possible that the oil climbs up that hose to then leak out? Yup, coolant leak on the hot side of the engine, only noticed after seeing clear rusty residue in the block right from the turbo oil feed downwards to the pan, and red droplets hanging from the pan. No clear sign yet from where it comes, and most of the lines there are hardlines right? Last year, seeing those red drops, I thought it was power steering, will be glad if that is not leaky at least. Another leaking hose I found by chance is the lower of the two heater core hoses coming from the firewall to the back of the head. That one is not too bad to get to if I have to replace.

      I think for response I'm already kind of out there no? he -5s are not the best pick for that as the Internet tells me. Maybe I should switch to -7s while I still can? Though that almost definitely warrants an engine pull along with the other issues I have.
