Need A New Clutch Asap!!! Where's A Good Place 2 Buy 1???


Recommended Posts

Clutch is pretty much gone, does any1 know where's a good place to get 1 from around the gold coast? on the cruise tonight some1 mentioned a place called "ABS" are they good? i have to pay rego next week as well so i need to find 1 for a really good price... PLEASE HELP !!!

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 :(

G/L

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.

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:

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!!!

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 :)

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • 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.
