Hey mate give Direct Clutch Services a ring 07 3862 2680, www.directclutchservices.com.au. I bought one of there hi-torque cushion button clutches and had it installed on friday I've done approx 150km and the clutch feels pretty much like stock except it grips real hard and the pedal just springs your foot back. Its not a on/off type of clutch so its very streetable. I'm planning on doing a few more mods to the car and they assured me it's good for over 300rwkw. Cost me $800 inc gst if you mail your old clutch back to them, otherwise it would have cost me $1200. From looking at the clutch when it arrived they use a Exedy clutch and pressure plate and modify it to there category.

You can get some good deals with clutches online.

Clutches are not difficult to install but I've only replaced push type clutches before. I'm not sure but I think R34 might run a pull type?

I can give you a hand with doing one if the weather is good. You will also need to get the flywheel machined, which might be difficult on the weekend. I can probably come round after work one night and pull it out quickly if all goes smoothly. That way you can machine it on a weekday and get it back in sooner.

From what I've seen and heard, is that I would recommend against buying a cushion button. The design could have changed since I last looked but on the exceedy and extreme clutches I was looking at, the rivets on the clutch plate were smaller or few than either the heavy duty organic and solid button clutches. I was going to go for a cushion button initially but went for a solid button due to this issue.

heya mick at M&A engineering will usually be able to a machine a flywheel on saturday if u ring him b4 hand like friday or thursday and he does a very good job on them where i work 9times outta 10 we get our flywheels machined by him unless we buy the kit from act brakes which isnt very often but i personally prefer mick as he uses a actual flywheel lathe

Cheers guys, sounds like there's plenty of help out there ;)

Yes it looks like the R34's are a "pull type" clutch. So it looks like they are different to the R33's?

I'll talk to a few places today and see how much a standard one would cost anyway

    • It can't be some stupidly proprietary video signal coming out of it that only Nissan's can understand. Surely you can just find some generic camera to stuff in there and use hot melt glue/blu-tac/gaffer tape to hold it in place if need be?
    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
