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

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
    • I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?
