Anyone In VIC Installed A "Patrol" Clutch??

[gtstii]

hey all,

I've researched a little bit about these Nissan Patrol Clutches which heaps of people have used and are meant to be a straight fit into a skyline, stronger than stock and feel quite ood (as I've read)!!

Has anyone in Vic installed one of these?

What do you think of it if you have?

I was thinking of getting one, cos if they are good, I can get them for $200 and install for $250 - $450 for a brand new clutch is a sweet deal!

[chopobo]

yeap

it fits straight in

jus get it and give to yer mechanic and should go straight in

no probs with it

[gtstii]

how does it feel compared to stock?

[DJ_L3ThAL]

maximus007 got one too and he was very happy with it

[gtstii]

does anyone know if they are meant to be stronger than the stock clutch (this is what I've heard)

.....and I was given the part no R173N for the clutch, is this the right part?

[R34GTT-R]

same clutch

Ive heard that you have to specify "heavy duty" when you order the clutch or else you just get the normal one. I think I heard this from max? not sure though..

[Player_Hater]

erm ... would it fit in a 92 r32 gtr?

[MaXiMuS007]

I've had it done.

Yes, the part no. is R173N, get the Heavy Duty version, its a little more but def worth it.

The clutch feels great, actually lighter feel than the stock one

Not sure about the R32 GTR, but I remember reading that it uses the same clutch as the R33 GTSts...

[gtstii]

sweet - sounds perfect!

how much more was the heavy duty one - I was quoted $200 for the R173N one (stock?)?

[MaXiMuS007]

was a bit under $300

[gtstii]

do you by any chance know how much power (rwkw) the heavy duty one is meant to handle?

Also, how much did you pay to install in Melb?

thanks heaps mate

[Player_Hater]

r32 gtr uses same clutch as the r33gtst? .. lol serious.

hey maximus, where did ya get yer clutch from?

[vspecv]

we have never fitted a patrol clutch and dont carry them in stock

[MaXiMuS007]

I got mine done at ICE, Gerald just ordered it in from his supplier. Pretty sure it was a Daiken.

Sorry to drag up an old thread, but I just tried to order a Patrol clutch from 3 Nissan dealers, and all of them said that R173N was an invalid part number. It was probably for an aftermarket clutch they said. Does anyone have the exact details of the clutch (or a serial number that works) so I can order it?

Thanks,

Michael
