Ok, now I have come to the end of my tether in relation to this...

I have called quite a few Clutch places on the Northside, and they keep saying they won't give me a quote cause they have to change pressure plates and clutch plates and they don't know what is in them...

BULLSHIT, the fact is I could change it myself, the thing is I want it done properly...with the flywheel machined.

I have a Daiken HD clutch kit ready to go without someone to install it.

Can anyone tell me their good bad or otherwise stories of places!!!

Cheers

Neill

Its a little difficult reading your post what you actually are asking!

If you want to know who to goto with regards to ripping the g/box out, removing the old clutch and throwing in the new one, then email me at [email protected] !!!!! I have a good mechanic i have used for 2 clutch installs and they are very good. BUT he is over the southside, so may not be appropriate for you.

i got my clutch (heavy Duty Daiken) at slacks creek brake and clutch

Have you actually asked them for quotes on fitting a clutch kit supplied by you

That is an affirmative...

I know what I am asking for, pull old clutch out, machine fly and install new clutch...

I already have a Daiken HD as described bought it from Coventry as I have contacts there...but only one place I have rung gave me a quote of $400 incl machining which is a little high...

And I would like it to be done on the Northside, was just wondering if anyone has had experience other than Nick's etc

Have only dealt with Nick's- all good clutches, and i got my sisters mechanic to install the clutch & machine the flywheel. Any competent mechanic should be able to do the job if its a basic heavy duty clutch (daiken excedy) for around 200-250 bucks....

      Yeah, you are right. It seems easier and more reasonable to boost the engine. And as you said the blocks are very similar but the cylinder bores are different.

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Sound logic, but in actuality way more illegal than just having the wrong pipe. Normally, doing something like that would be forgery. Meaning you may have certain documentation for vehicle parts, but the actual parts are different ones and you just assign them the numbers and badging from the documents. But nevermind that. Nonetheless, I AM curious if this pipe was ever made by any official manufacturer this way, because I honestly am not familiar with this pipe layout and shape. As I will be putting on the HKS Silent Hi Power once my exhaust gaskets arrive, as long as it sounds right I will just roll with this front pipe. I can always order the actual Mines part if I run into legal issues. It would be an unnecessary expense as there is lots of other problems I have on this car as of now.

      So, weld a plate with the Mines logo laser cut into it, onto it. Instant Mines pipes, whether they were or weren't originally.

      I don't know if the blocks are "the same". They will be very very similar. Obviously, either the bore or the stroke is going to be bigger on the 20. If the bore is bigger, then the 18 head is unlikely to fit properly. If the bore is the same, then you can almost certainly fit the CA18 head, but there migth be a few fun things you have to do to make water galleries (or other things) line up properly. Or... it could just be real easy. Is it worth the effort? Almost certainly not. You can make nearly as much power on a 2 valv ehead as you can on a 4 valve. There's not any "magic" in a 4 valve head.
