ABS BRAke and CLutch - they will beat any realistic verbal price u give them, even if its serperate clutch cost and labor cost. Well I did and they beat it. Mine cost $540 in total for DAikien Exedy Heavy Duty installed - with the works like gearbox oil, fly wheel spin (i think tats it) etc. etc. there's a previous thread regarding CLUTCH. check it out

Getting my new clutch fitted today, got a Daiken Excedy heavy duty too. Got it thru Nicks - good deal. The mechanic who fitted just rang and said 'it feels like a bloody strong clutch, where did u get it from?' Cant wait to knock off work early and go pick it up.

Try direct Clutch in QLD very strong clutches, a little more so then the excedy

[sweetr33]

ring bursons or repco. They can get those daiken clutches. I got a price today. Heavy duty daiken rated at 500hp for $450. I can get it that cheap coz of my job so if thats sounds alrite i can hook u up

I'll second this. Speak to Doug. He's done the clutch in the skyline (organic clutch with a 3000pound pressure plate. Best. Clutch. Ever. and he also did the clutch in brutis. It's a 1650pound cable clutch) I can't drive Brutis beacuse the clutch is too damn hard.

I think the skyline clutch cost about $300.. not very expensive at all.

My clutch is meant to be rated at around 600hp. So it supports my 50hp quite nicely :bahaha:

I got 1 installed today, took it to ABS they installed the heavy duty daiken clutch kit for $580 and new rear brakes for $150 i dont think any1 could have done it foe less.

[sweetr33]

organic with 3000pound pressure plate for 300 is good price, i might look into it

[GODRAVER]

so did i pay too much? $580 installed? plus the clutch is pissing me of its really soft i hate it! i want 1 like i had before a hard pedal none of this soft girly crap.

[GODRAVER]

actually i paid $550

[sweetr33]

and 30 for labour?? how did u manage that

[GODRAVER]

i dont know all up it cost me 550 for the clutch install, and machined flywheel and all the other crap... but its still pissing me of the fact its so soft! sweetr33 whats hapening with the cruise tonight?

[sweetr33]

is it a soft clutch?? hmmm yeah i would like to be able to feel abit of stiffness aye. The cruize is still on. I mean its not much of a cruize matey, to short notice i guess.

[GODRAVER]

wheres the cruise ? meeting place and time and details?

[unwritten law]

i paid $630 all up for a daiken excedy heavy duty installed, pretty stoked with it. The pedal feels very firm (not girly hehe) Nearly stalled it when i pulled out of the mechanics :Oops:

[sweetr33]

hmmm see im gonna install my new clutch myself but its the right one to decide out of. i aint gonna spend more than 500 to buy the damn thing

[GODRAVER]

yeah its a hard spring pedal but its not hard like it used to be, i really want 1 like i had (nissan 1) or anything else with a really hard pedal, im calling daiken on monday and having a winge cause the description states it will be harder than before instead its toooo soft for me, cant stand it!!!

[sweetr33]

hmmm ok. i just dont wanna put it in and find its not very strong. That will annoy me

most HD clutches that are sold are remanufactured units that are modified to give stronger clamping pressures. Thats why there is such a price difference between ones sold as HD and the proper racing clutch kits from Exedy, nismo, ORC, OS. Nothing wrong with the HD ones just thought you guys should be aware of what u'r buying.

I recommend Nicks clutch aswell as Jim Berry at RACE clutch engineering. If you want to know everything there is to know about clutches go have a chat to Jim and be sure to allow atleast an hour
