Clutch Rebuilds In Vic For Os Giken Twin Plate Or New Clutch In Vic


Recommended Posts

Hey,

I've already got a general topic about my clutch rebuild or new clutch in the drivetrain:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Os...ui-t236817.html

And I'm getting some good advice there, but just wanted to know if anyone know's a good place for high quality clutches OR a twin plate rebuild in Melbourne.

Currently I'm planning on giving NPC a call and maybe Jim Berry if I can afford the phone bill :(

But do we have some good places in Melbourne?

I've done a quick call around about getting it fitted, seems to cost about $400 to fit a clutch...

Thanks,

Gareth

Hey mate, I was in the same situation as you. I just went the Jim Berry. Yeh, you might be up for a 30-50min phone call lol, but he is a top bloke to talk to and deal with. It wasnt that long of a wait either. I spoke to B.G.T. in Hawthorn aswell, they were also quite clued up on the situation.

If you can wait and save a lil .. go the jim berry clutch, geenline is great for price but man the waiting time is horrible. Yes Jim does talk alot but its worth the wait. Had my os twin rebuild from him as its unreal, light and eay to use, i had mine built to suit track work more.. so launching is out the window if i want to keep the clutch alive. postage to jim and back is $60 give or take each way and i paid just over 1300 as i have new clutch fork and what ever other bits n pieces jim suggested i should have.

I'm always surprised when people say they've had massive waiting times from greenline. I've never waited more than around 8 days I reckon, inlcuding ordering an OS rebuild kit.

I called NPC and they offered a rebuild price below $800 so that's sounding very reasonable if I was quoted the correct price.

Next problem is finding someone who doesn't mind waiting a week for my clutch to get rebuilt....I might give RE Customs a call and see what they think, but the car will be sitting for a while :)

Just FYI for anyone reading, the clutch actually ended up been a Nismo twin-plate, the model before the super coppermix.

And the transfer case was the problem with the slipping, there was nearly 2mm left on the clutch itself.

The clutch is getting rebuilt and I've been offered a transfer case (cheap) and one from the workshop, I've gone with the one from the workshop because I know its in good working condition :D

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
